According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor market size was valued at US$ 16.67 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 18.69 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 1.8% during review period.
4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor—abbreviated as 4-MBC (CAS No. 36861-47-9)—is a widely used organic ultraviolet (UV) absorber classified as a camphor derivative. Its primary function is to prevent photodegradation in skincare products—such as sunscreens and lotions—by absorbing medium-wave ultraviolet radiation (UVB), thereby protecting the skin from sunburn. In 2025, global sales volume is projected to reach approximately 360 tons, with a selling price ranging from roughly $43 to $50 per kilogram. The industry's gross profit margin stands at around 30%.
The key upstream raw materials are natural camphor (or synthetic camphor) and p-methylbenzaldehyde. As a product of the forest chemical or fine chemical industries, the price of camphor is influenced by climatic conditions and the supply of turpentine; p-methylbenzaldehyde, conversely, is primarily derived from the catalytic oxidation of toluene, and its supply is driven by fluctuations within the basic petrochemical industry. Downstream applications are highly concentrated within the personal care sector.
In recent years, the 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC) industry has undergone profound transformations. As a UV absorber characterized by its high stability, 4-MBC has established a deep market foundation through decades of application in product formulations. It stands as a highly representative member of the camphor-derivative sunscreen family and has long been favored by cosmetics manufacturers for its consistent sun-protection performance. However, concerns have arisen regarding its potential for endocrine-disrupting activity; furthermore, due to the associated risks of high exposure, its safety profile has sparked scrutiny in certain regions (such as the European Union). Consequently, the frequency of its use has exhibited a distinct downward trend across the global market.
