摘要：	This report addresses trade and industry conditions in the flavor and fragrance materials industry for the period 1993-97.  U.S. producers of flavor and fragrance materials range from large multinational firms that produce the majority of the highvolume materials to small producers that specialize in higher value-added, lower volume materials. The major products of this industry are essential oils, oleoresins, synthetic flavors and fragrances, and flavor and fragrance mixtures.  U.S. producers of flavor and fragrance materials had annual shipments averaging approximately $2.4 billion during 1993- 97. The largest volume and value chemical produced by the U.S. indusU7 is the non-caloric sweetener aspartame. Other major synthetic products of the U.S. flavor and fragrance industry include geraniol, dual, ionones, and methylionones. Major natural products include certain essential oils, such as mint oils and cedarwood oil, and particularly citrus oils, which arc considered to be by-products by U.S. citrus fruit and juice producers. Also, specific products that are blends of synthetics and various oils and/or other flavor extracts have become a specialty of the U.S. industry during the 1990s.  The U.S. duty level for a significant number of products covered in this report from MFN countries is free, as many of these materials arc not available domestically. Additionally, almost all of the products that do not have a column I duty rate of zero are eligible for duty-free treatment through the Generalized System of Preferences.  The primary U.S. consumers of these flavor and fragrancematerials are perfume, cosmetic, and toiletry compounders. Often these firms are directly affiliated with die producer of theflavor and fragrance materials, as many major chemical and personal care products companies have acquired or developed subsidiaries for the specific purpose of having "in-hou.se" suppliers. In general, flavor and fragrance materials are expected to be among the fastest growing of all chemical specialties areas, with an annual growth rate through 2002 anticipated to be about 5 percent.
