Methyl formate, an organic ester used in foam blowing agents, solvents, and intermediates for pharmaceuticals and pesticides, has witnessed stable production growth driven by demand in chemical intermediates and environmental-friendly refrigerant blends. Production is concentrated in China, Europe, and a few facilities in North America, supported by methanol-based synthesis routes. The production scale has benefited from the methanol industry's consistent expansion, providing ample feedstock at competitive prices. Regulatory drivers, including restrictions on high-GWP refrigerants, will support methyl formate’s long-term market position, further stimulating production investments and maintaining a positive growth outlook. Advanced catalytic processes will also help contain production costs despite feedstock volatility, offering a stable supply framework.
