Description

The global Coumarin market size is predicted to grow from US$ 199 million in 2025 to US$ 226 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.1% from 2026 to 2032.

Coumarin is a lactone aromatic chemical and the core scaffold for coumarin derivatives, typically identified as CAS 91-64-5 with the molecular formula C9H6O2, also known as 1,2-benzopyrone or 2H-chromen-2-one. It is commonly supplied as a white powder to crystalline solid and is characterized by a sweet hay-like, tonka-bean-like odor. In flavors and fragrances, coumarin is used to support olfactive themes such as herbal, lavender, citrus, and oakmoss accords, and it can serve as a fixative and masking component to improve longevity and help cover off-notes; in some cases it is used in tobacco fragrances rather than as a food flavoring. In fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals, coumarin can be used as a precursor or intermediate to synthesize various small-molecule scaffolds, including routes related to certain anticoagulant compounds. Typical commercial offerings include industrial bulk packs, laboratory high-purity reagents, and reference standards: industrial grades may be supplied in large drums (e.g., 50 kg) and note properties such as a melting point around 69°C and solubility in ethanol, while laboratory grades emphasize analytical purity (e.g., GC or HPLC purity of 99%+) and provide SDS specifications and batch COA to support R&D, scale-up, and compliant procurement. Quality evaluation commonly focuses on purity and impurity profile, melting point range, solubility, and physicochemical constants; for example, a melting point often in the 68–73°C range, slight solubility in water with good solubility in ethanol and methanol, and some catalogs additionally list a boiling point around 298°C, a maximum absorption wavelength at 273 nm, and flash point and other safety parameters, with recommended storage in a cool, light-protected environment or at 2–30°C. For testing and quality control, coumarin may also be supplied as a single-component certified reference material in units such as 100 mg, and its primary customers include fragrance houses, personal care formulators, research laboratories, and quality control institutions.

In flavors and fragrances, coumarin is positioned more as a structural aroma material than a simple odor booster. Its value lies primarily in forming the backbone of accords such as herbal, lavender, citrus, and oakmoss, extending longevity through a fixative effect, and delivering strong masking performance to mitigate interference from off-odor sources such as iodoform, phenols, and quinoline. As a result, it is often used to enhance a formula’s overall smoothness and stability. However, clear use boundaries apply—for example, it may be labeled as prohibited for use in food flavors while still permitted in tobacco fragrances—making downstream application choices and compliance review a prerequisite for commercialization.

From a supply and productization standpoint, coumarin typically exhibits a three-tier structure in parallel: industrial bulk packaging, laboratory-grade catalog items, and certified reference materials. The industrial segment emphasizes stable supply and basic physicochemical specifications, often delivered in large pack formats such as 50 kg. The laboratory segment focuses on high purity and multiple pack sizes to support R&D and pilot scale-up, while the QC segment relies on single-component CRMs in units such as 100 mg to enable testing and traceability. Across all scenarios, a consistent requirement is a verifiable quality-documentation and specification framework, including purity and impurity profile, melting-point range, solubility, and absorption maxima, which then feeds into procurement and compliance workflows via SDS and batch COA. Consequently, document availability and batch-to-batch consistency have a practical impact on supplier selection, substitution, and price negotiations.

From an EHS and supply-chain management perspective, coumarin product pages disclose acute oral toxicity statements and dangerous-goods transport information, including references such as UN2811 and Class 6.1. This indicates that storage, transport, and on-site handling should be incorporated into a regulated hazardous-chemicals management system, which in turn constrains logistics options and cost structure. Meanwhile, many catalogs specify light-protected and temperature-controlled storage recommendations, such as below 15°C or below 30°C, suggesting that stability and quality retention depend on controlled storage and distribution conditions. For fine chemicals and pharmaceutical-intermediate value chains, coumarin is explicitly described as a synthesis precursor or intermediate, and “for synthesis” listings provide indicators such as HPLC assay and melting-point ranges to support scale-up use. This implies that demand is driven not only by fragrance applications but also by intermediate route selection and the pace of process development and scale-up.
