Di Methyl Carbonate Market Analysis:
The di methyl carbonate (DMC) market is witnessing a robust growth primarily due to its environmentally friendly nature and versatile applications. It is known as the green chemical as it is biodegradable and has low toxicity, which makes it a great option for pharma, plastic, and agrochemicals industry amidst the rise of environmental awareness and eco-friendly manufacturing processes. The market is also largely driven by the fact that the manufacturers are replacing phosgene and dimethyl sulfate with DMC as it is safer to use for chemical synthesis.
Another major reason of DMC market growth is that it has been proved to cause no adverse effects on the workers who handle it during its processing and production. It had low acute oral toxicity and is found negative in mutagenicity test. DMC is produced in U.S.A. over 1 million pounds per year, while the Kowa corporation, originally founded in Japan, has proposed use to increase from 2-5 million pounds per year.
UBE Industries, Ltd. is one of the leading companies based in Japan, which is the major producer of di methyl carbonate. They supply the DMC to agrochemical industries, pharma sector, and industries producing polycarbonate.
Di methyl carbonate Market Trends:
Increasing Environmental Awareness
With a continuous surge in eco-friendly trend and environmental concerns, di methyl carbonate is being used as a safer alternative to traditional hazardous chemicals as it is non- toxic and biodegradable (called green chemical). This has proven to be the major factor in shaping the growth of the di methyl carbonate market.
A study was conducted in 2023 which observed the benefits of mixing di methyl carbonate with ethanol-gasoline fuel blend to align the fuel system with eco-friendly trend. This was done to decrease the exhaust emissions of carbon monoxide and other greenhouse gases, thus contributing to the air quality improvement. Addition of DMC also improved engine performance. The exhaust emitted gases like HC (hydrocarbon), PM (particulate matter), and CO (carbon monoxide) were reduced when DMC was blended with fuel mixture.
Companies like Asahi Kasei Corporation or Shangdong Shida Shenghua Chemical Group Co., Ltd are adopting green production of di methyl carbonate from carbon dioxide and methanol. It is an eco-friendly processing technique where copper-based nanocomposites are used as catalysts.
Versatile Applications
The versatile applications of di methyl carbonate in battery electrolytes, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals have been fueling its demand and expanding its market. DMC has emerged to be a valuable component across various industries. Di methyl carbonate is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the drug delivery system and drug formulation. Technological advancements have facilitated the use of soya lecithin in therapeutic and drug delivery systems. Di methyl carbonate is used in synthesis of major pharmaceutical products like ciprofloxacin (Cipro), which is an antimicrobial element. Here it is used in place of diethyl malonate, which is very harmful to aquatic animals and very hazardous in case of ingestion. Di methyl carbonate is also used in production of guaifenesin, which is a precursor for methocarbamol, a muscle relaxant. Pfizer and Bayer are the main companies producing ciprofloxacin using di methyl in processing.
Agrochemical industries have been using di methyl carbonate to improve the performance of insecticides and pesticides. For instance, introduction of di methyl carbonate in Matrine, which is a traditional botanical pesticide, increased its anti-tobacco mosaic virus and plant fungicidal activity.
Latest Industry News:
- In February 2024, UBE announced its plants to construct a plant with the capacity to produce 100,000 metric tons of DMC and 40,000 metric tons of EMC (derived from DMC) annually. The total capital investment for this project will be approximately USD 500 million. Construction is slated for completion in July 2026, with operations set to commence in November 2026.
- In June 2023, Merck, a leading science and technology company, invested approximately €70 million to expand production capacity for highly-purified reagents at its Nantong site in China. This expansion will enable large-scale manufacturing of high-purity reagents for quality control and testing in the biopharma industry, significantly increasing annual output by several thousand tons.
