The global dimethyl carbonate (DMC) market is projected to grow at a modest CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period (2021-2027). The key aspect that drives the growth of the market includes the increasing demand for dimethyl carbonate (DMC) for various applications such as polycarbonate production, solvents, pharmaceutical, pesticides, Li-Ion batteries, and others. Besides, a wide range of properties possessed by the dimethyl carbonate (DMC) such as non-toxic nature, colorless, flammable, and is classified as a carbonate ester. Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) can also be mixed and used with almost all organic solvents, including ketones, alcohols, ethers, among others.
Further, dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is also widely used as an oxygenated fuel additive. Owing to the rising energy consumption across the globe, there is an increase in the demand for alternative fuels or additives for conventional hydrocarbon fuels development. Furthermore, rising building & construction industry demands for paints & coating. Hence, the rise in the paints & coating industry for the production of water-based eco-friendly paints also creates ample opportunities for the growth of the DMC market over the forecast period.
Segmental Outlook
The global dimethyl carbonate (DMC) market is segmented on the basis of grade and application. Based on the grade, the market is segmented as battery, pharmaceutical, and industrial. The industrial segment holds the most substantial share in the market. Based on the application, the market is segmented as polycarbonate production, solvents, pharmaceutical, pesticides, Li-Ion batteries, and others. The other segment includes fuel additives and electrolytes. The polycarbonate production segment holds the most substantial share in the market.
Polycarbonate Production Segment to Hold Substantial Share in the Global DMC Market
Amongst the application segment of the market, the polycarbonate production segment holds the most substantial share in the market over the forecast period. The segmental growth of the market is accredited to the increased demand for polycarbonate across a wide range of end-user industries. Polycarbonate is a sort of strong and transparent engineering thermoplastic that is widely utilized across automotive, glazing, electronics, optical media, medical, lighting, and appliances markets. Hence, the growth in these end-user industries along with increasing product usage in these sectors are likely to positively influence the overall market growth.
On the other hand, the solvent segment is likely to substantially grow over the forecast period. dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is widely used as floor coatings, traffic paints, architectural coatings, and steel drum linings among others owing to its dimethyl carbonate (DMC). Hence, this is likely to positively influence the growth of the market over the forecast period.
