The global isopropyl myristate market was valued at USD 312.4 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 521.8 million by 2034, at a CAGR of 5.9% over the 2026-2034 forecast period, according to Dataintelo. Isopropyl myristate is a colorless, low-viscosity fatty ester of isopropanol and myristic acid used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and industrial applications.

Isopropyl myristate serves as an emollient, solvent and spreading agent in personal care and cosmetics, as a carrier and excipient in pharmaceuticals, and as a lubricity additive in metalworking, greases and industrial fluids. Demand is tied to the expansion of personal care and cosmetics, the growth of pharmaceutical and industrial applications, and the rising use of fatty esters for low-irritancy and high-performance formulations. Asia-Pacific is the largest and fastest-growing region, supported by extensive cosmetics, pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries in China, India and Southeast Asia.

Europe and North America sustain steady demand in premium cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. Continued personal-care and industrial growth positions isopropyl myristate as a steadily advancing fatty ester lubricant and emollient.
