Dimethyl Carbonate Market Trend | Depth and Visionary Insights Research, Recent Trends and Growth Forecast by 2030
Market
Highlights
The Dimethyl
Carbonate Market Trend is
projected to be valued at USD 594.3 Million and register a CAGR of 4.49% during
the forecast period. Dimethyl
carbonate (DMC) is a transparent, non-toxic organic chemical with chemical
representation OC(OCH3)2. DMC has a unique molecular structure and is
flammable. It can easily mix with various organic solvents, such as ketones,
alcohols, and ethers.
DMC is prominently
used as a methylating agent in the production of pharmaceuticals, namely
analgesics and anti-pyretic drugs. It was produced using phosgene, but due to
its high toxicity, the production of DMC is carried out by oxidation of
methanol carbonylation or transesterification. There is rise in demand for DMC
in the production of polycarbonate, which nearly accounts for more than 50% of
DMC consumption. The surging demand for polycarbonate in the automotive and
electronics industries is expected to drive the global market growth. Also,
polycarbonate is used in the production of lightweight components in electric
vehicles, which is projected to create lucrative opportunities for the market
players. Furthermore, it is considered as a greener alternative in the
production of polycarbonate as it does not produce phenols or acid as
by-products, which has increased its adoption in pharmaceutical applications.
Furthermore, the
surging demand for DMC in the paints and coatings industry to produce
water-based eco-friendly paints is likely to boost the global market growth. It
is considered as a better alternative to conventional solvents used in paints,
which emit more VOC. Whereas, DMC is devoid of DMC and has no adverse impact on
the environment, which increases its use in this sector. In addition, it is
easily soluble in paints, which further makes it the best suitable solvents for
paints.
However, the only bottleneck in a
growth trajectory of the global dimethyl carbonate market is the technical
complexities in the production of the desired grade of DMC. For various
applications, ranging from paints and coating and electronics to pharmaceutical
and construction, different grades of DMC are required with respect to the
eco-friendly nature and low toxicity. The production of DMC using phosgene is
highly toxic and not suitable for medicines and infrastructure applications.
Thus, this limitation is likely to hinder the global dimethyl carbonate market.

Segment
Analysis
The
global Dmc Application market has been segmented based on grade,
application, end use, and region. Based on grade, the industrial segment
accounted for the largest market share of 48.09% in 2018 and
is projected to reach USD 296.75 million by 2024. This segment is
likely to register the highest CAGR of 5.81% during the
forecast period, which is largely attributed to its high DMC content, and high
resistance to chemical and abrasion. It largely finds applications as
thermoplastic in plastic and electronic industries. Also, it is used to produce
cleaning agents and adhesives.
On the basis of application, the
polycarbonate segment held a larger market share of 45.03% in 2018 and is
expected to register a significant CAGR of 4.27% during the
forecast period. This is largely attributed to its high durability,
versatility, low weight, and eco-friendly nature, which is significantly used
in automotive applications, in electric vehicle plastic components. The lithium
batteries segment is estimated to register the highest CAGR of 5.71% during
the review period on account of the growing utilization of DMC in lightweight
components in lithium batteries used in electric vehicles.
By end use, the plastic segment
dominated the global market with the highest share of 54.23% in 2018,
owing to its high-end use characteristics and growing use in the automotive and
construction sectors. Whereas, paints & coatings segment is projected to be
the fastest-growing segment with a robust CAGR of 5.77% in the
coming years on account of high consumption of water-based eco-friendly DMC
solvent in paints.
