Abstract

An electrostatic charge image developing toner includes: toner particles including an amorphous resin and a crystalline polyester resin including a polycondensate of a linear dicarboxylic acid and a linear dialcohol having 2 to 12 carbon atoms; and an external additive including silica particles having a BET specific surface area of 100 m2/g or more. The electrostatic charge image developing toner satisfies the expression: 0.05≤ΔH2/ΔH1≤0.95, wherein ΔH1 (mW/g) is an endothermic energy amount based on an endothermic peak derived from the crystalline polyester resin in a first temperature increase process in differential scanning calorimetry according to ASTM D3418-8 (2008), and ΔH2 (mW/g) is an endothermic energy amount based on an endothermic peak derived from the crystalline polyester resin in a second temperature increase process in differential scanning calorimetry according to ASTM D3418-8 (2008).
