The global Caprolactone market size is expected to reach $ 296 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 1.5% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

?-Caprolactone or simply caprolactone is a lactone (a cyclic ester) possessing a seven-membered ring. Its name is derived from caproic acid. This colorless liquid is miscible with most organic solvents and water and is produced on a large scale as a precursor to caprolactam and polycaprolactone polymers. ?-Caprolactone is a colourless liquid with a melting point of -1.3 °C and a boiling point of 237 °C.

Europe is the main market for caprolactone, accounting for about 50%, followed by Japan, accounting for about 20%.

Perstorp, Daicel and BASF are the major producers. Perstorp is the world's largest, accounting for about 60% of the market.
