Ethyl salicylate can be used in a wide range of applications, and the industry structure has a lot of room for adjustment.

Ethyl salicylate, also known as ethyl salicylate and ethyl ortho-hydroxybenzoate, has a chemical formula of C9H10O3 and appears as a colorless oily liquid. It will turn into a light yellowish-brown liquid when exposed to light or left for a long time, with a soft wintergreen oil. Aromatic smell. Ethyl salicylate is slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, acetic acid, and most non-volatile oils. It can burn when exposed to open flames, high heat, and strong oxidants. Ethyl salicylate is an important ester compound.

Ethyl salicylate can be widely used in chemical industry, spices, medicine, solvents and other fields. In the chemical industry, ethyl salicylate can be used as a raw material for organic synthesis to produce acetylsalicylate, ethyl nitrosalicylate and other products; in the field of fragrances, ethyl salicylate can be used to synthesize floral fragrances. Flavors are used in the field of daily chemicals and can also be used as edible spices; in the pharmaceutical field, ethyl salicylate can be used to manufacture diarrhea medicines, analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-rheumatic drugs, etc.; ethyl salicylate can also be used as Solvent for products such as nitrocellulose.

The preparation methods of ethyl salicylate mainly include: using salicylic acid and ethanol as raw materials, using concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst, and preparing it through esterification reaction; using salicylic acid and ethyl p-toluenesulfonate as raw materials, under heating conditions Prepared by the following reaction. Among them, the former method has a larger proportion of industrial applications. my country is a major producer of salicylic acid, ethanol, and sulfuric acid, which can provide sufficient raw materials for the development of the ethyl salicylate industry. Affected by factors such as material prices, environmental protection, and process improvements, the prices of some raw materials such as salicylic acid continue to rise, which has a negative impact on salicylic acid. The cost of the ethyl acid ester industry will have a certain impact.

According to the “2022-2026 In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report on Ethyl Salicylate Industry” released by the Industrial Research Center , Globally, North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region are the main markets for ethyl salicylate. In the Asia-Pacific region, China has a large demand for ethyl salicylate, and demand in India and Southeast Asia is also rising. The Asia-Pacific region has become an important driving force for the growth of the global ethyl salicylate market. In North America and Europe, the United States and Germany are the main demand countries for ethyl salicylate.

Globally, the largest ethyl salicylate manufacturers include LGC Standards in the UK, Penta Manufacturing Company in the US, Spectrum in the US, Augustus Oils in the US, Ernesto Ventós in the US, Inoue Flavors in Japan, Hisunny Chemical in China, and Huayin City in China. Jinqiancheng Pharmaceutical, Boju New Materials, Zhejiang, China, etc. Within our country, there are still a large number of small and medium-sized ethyl salicylate manufacturers, the market structure is relatively fragmented, and there is still much room for improvement in the future industry structure.

Industry analysts said that ethyl salicylate can be widely used in chemical, daily chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries. The industry has a large space for development; salicylic acid and ethanol are important raw materials for the production of ethyl salicylate. From an upstream perspective, my country’s ethyl salicylate industry has sufficient supply of raw materials for production; from a midstream perspective, my country’s existing There are large-scale ethyl salicylate manufacturers and many small-scale ethyl salicylate manufacturers. There is still room for adjustment in the industry structure.
