m-Nitrotoluene is a yellow crystalline compound primarily used as an intermediate in synthesizing m-toluidine, a precursor for dyes like reactive yellow X-R and agrochemicals such as fenitrothion. Its applications extend to producing m-cresol, a key pesticide intermediate for products like fenthion and permethrin. The industry is niche, characterized by its reliance on chemical synthesis for agriculture and textiles, with production complicated by toxicity and regulatory scrutiny. The global m-Nitrotoluene market is estimated at 20 to 40 million USD by 2025, with a CAGR of 2.5% to 4.5% through 2030, reflecting moderate growth tied to end-use sectors.
