According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Methyl 9-decenoate (9-DAME) market size was valued at US$ 2.86 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 3.38 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 2.5% during review period.
In 2024, global Methyl 9-decenoate (9-DAME) production reached approximately 103 MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 23 per kg.
Methyl 9-decenoate, often abbreviated as 9-DAME, is a specialty oleochemical derivative belonging to the family of unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters. Structurally, it is the methyl ester of 9-decenoic acid, a C10 monounsaturated carboxylic acid with a terminal double bond. It is typically derived from renewable feedstocks, including seed oils, castor oil derivatives, or biotechnological fermentation pathways, though it can also be synthesized via petrochemical intermediates. The presence of both an ester functional group and an unsaturated aliphatic chain with a reactive terminal double bond makes 9-DAME a versatile chemical building block for a variety of downstream industrial applications.
From a chemical standpoint, the defining characteristics of methyl 9-decenoate include:
Reactivity of the terminal double bond, allowing further functionalization via hydrosilylation, epoxidation, metathesis, and polymerization.
Ester group functionality, making it suitable for esterification, transesterification, and polymer synthesis.
Moderate volatility and hydrophobic nature, supporting its role as an intermediate in surfactants, lubricants, and specialty polymers.
The 9-DAME market can therefore be defined as the global ecosystem encompassing its production (from both renewable and synthetic sources), distribution as a specialty intermediate, and consumption across industries such as fragrances, flavors, agrochemicals, lubricants, polymers, coatings, and bio-based specialty chemicals. The market is a niche but strategically important subset of the broader oleochemicals and specialty esters industry, with growing relevance due to the global shift toward sustainable chemistry, renewable feedstocks, and biodegradable materials.
The Methyl 9-decenoate (9-DAME) market can be defined as a specialized but strategically important segment of the global chemical industry, centered on a renewable, multifunctional fatty acid ester that serves as a building block for fragrances, agrochemicals, polymers, lubricants, and specialty materials. Its development trajectory is closely linked with megatrends in sustainability, bio-based chemistry, advanced materials, and agricultural efficiency.
While current challenges include cost, scale, and awareness, the long-term outlook is highly positive. With innovation in renewable feedstocks, biotechnology, and polymer chemistry, 9-DAME is poised to become a cornerstone intermediate for industries seeking to decarbonize, differentiate, and innovate. Companies that strategically invest in scalable production, secure renewable supply chains, and partner with downstream users will be best positioned to capture the opportunities of this evolving market.
