Global MEHQ (CAS No. 150-76-5) market size was valued at USD 1.09 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 1.16 billion in 2025 to USD 1.8 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period.. This phenolic compound, primarily used as a polymerization inhibitor and stabilizer, continues to gain traction across diverse industrial applications due to its effectiveness in preventing premature polymerization during chemical processes and storage.
MEHQ plays a critical role in maintaining product stability in acrylic monomers, adhesives, and various polymer systems. Its ability to extend shelf life and ensure process safety makes it indispensable for manufacturers, particularly as regulatory standards for product quality and safety become more stringent globally. The compound's versatility also finds applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and water treatment solutions.

Asia-Pacific leads the MEHQ market, accounting for over 45% of global consumption, with China being both the largest producer and consumer. The region's dominance stems from its vast chemical manufacturing base and rapid industrialization. Japan and India follow closely, driven by expanding pharmaceutical and personal care industries that demand high-purity MEHQ grades.
North America's market demonstrates steady growth, supported by advanced polymer technologies and strict quality control standards in pharmaceutical applications. Europe maintains a significant share due to its well-established chemical sector and emphasis on specialty chemicals. Emerging markets in Latin America and the Middle East show promising potential, particularly in polymer production and water treatment applications.
The market's expansion is primarily driven by increasing demand from the acrylic acid and acrylate ester industries, where MEHQ serves as a crucial inhibitor during production and storage. The polymer industry accounts for nearly 40% of MEHQ consumption, followed by pharmaceuticals (25%) and cosmetics (15%). The growing emphasis on product safety and shelf-life extension across these industries continues to fuel demand.
Significant opportunities exist in water treatment applications, where MEHQ's antioxidant properties help prevent microbial growth and system corrosion. The compound's role in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in stabilizing sensitive drug compounds during manufacturing, presents another growth avenue. Furthermore, the development of bio-based and environmentally friendly MEHQ alternatives represents an emerging market segment with substantial potential.
The MEHQ market faces several challenges, including stringent regulatory requirements for human health and environmental safety. While MEHQ is generally recognized as safe at low concentrations, regulatory scrutiny over phenolic compounds has intensified in recent years. Fluctuations in raw material prices, particularly phenol derivatives, impact production costs and pricing stability. Market growth also contends with the development of alternative inhibitors and stabilizers that may offer superior performance or environmental benefits.
Supply chain disruptions and trade restrictions, particularly affecting key producing regions, pose additional challenges. The market must navigate these obstacles while meeting the evolving needs of diverse industrial applications.
