There are not many domestic vanillyl alcohol butyl ether companies, and downstream applications are concentrated in the cosmetics field.

Vanillyl butyl ether, also known as vanillyl butyl ether, vanillyl butyl ether, vanillyl butyl ether, etc., is a natural heat-sensing agent substitute. Its molecular formula is C12H18O3, CAS number is 82654-98-6, and its appearance It is a colorless to light yellow viscous liquid. It is insoluble in water and soluble in oil phase. After being applied topically to the skin, it can quickly produce a mild and long-lasting pyrogenic effect. It is mainly used in thermal masks, bath products, cleaning products, and lotions. The production of cosmetics such as creams and lipsticks can also be used in food, pharmaceutical and other industries.

According to the “China Vanillyl Alcohol Butyl Ether Market Feasibility Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, in the world , Vanillyl alcohol butyl ether production is concentrated in China, North America, India and other regions. Among them, the North American vanillyl alcohol butyl ether manufacturer is Spectrum Chemical; the Indian vanillyl alcohol butyl ether manufacturer is Tokyo Chemical Industry (India) Pvt Ltd.

In China, due to market capacity limitations, there are currently only a few domestic manufacturers of vanillyl alcohol butyl ether, including Jiangxi Hualong Plant Flavors Co., Ltd., Tengzhou Tianshui Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Xinxiang Junlong Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Anhui Fengle Flavors Co., Ltd., etc. Among them, Tengzhou Tianshui Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Tianjin University successfully developed vanillyl alcohol butyl ether in 2014; Anhui Fengle Flavors Co., Ltd. has a natural flavor production line and a cooling agent series synthetic flavor production line, vanillyl alcohol butyl ether products Entrust other companies with OEM production.

From the perspective of production, from 2019 to 2022, my country’s vanillyl alcohol butyl ether production was only a few hundred tons. In addition to being sold in the domestic market, the vanillyl alcohol butyl ether produced was also exported to Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States and other regions. In 2022, domestic exports of vanillyl alcohol butyl ether will account for about 20% of total vanillyl alcohol production. From the perspective of downstream applications, demand for vanillyl alcohol butyl ether mainly comes from the cosmetics industry, of which demand in the domestic cosmetics field will account for nearly 80% in 2022.

From the perspective of industry prospects, vanillyl alcohol butyl ether is similar in structure to most heat-sensing agents (capsaicin, ginger extract), but compared with other heat-sensing agents, it is less irritating and safer, and it has It has a slightly pleasant vanilla flavor and has a synergistic effect with the cooling agent. It has room for further development in the field of cosmetics. At present, Aloma Chemical (Jining) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Bingrui Chemical Co., Ltd., and Anhui Fengle Fragrance Co., Ltd. are all building vanillyl alcohol butyl ether projects.

Industrial analysts said that the “Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China and the Long-term Goals for 2035” “” clearly stated that we should accelerate the development of cosmetics and other industries and expand and strengthen the consumer economic market, which provides a good policy environment for the development of the vanillyl alcohol butyl ether industry. However, vanillyl alcohol butyl ether is relatively expensive, the single addition amount is small, and the current market capacity is relatively limited, which to a certain extent limits the expansion of business performance.
