In 2023, the market for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in cancer was valued at US$ 47.7 billion. IMARC Group projects that the market will expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% from 2024 to 2032, reaching US$ 74.9 billion in 2032.
Additionally, the growing geriatric population is driving the demand for pharmaceuticals, where DMAc is used as a solvent in drug synthesis, enhancing the efficiency and yield of medications essential for treating age-related health conditions. Its ability to remain solvent allows for the formation of intricate molecules needed for different medical treatments, emphasizing its importance in meeting the healthcare demands of older individuals.
Use in Electronics Manufacturing
DMAc plays a vital role in electronics production owing to its excellent solubility characteristics, which are necessary for creating semiconductors and circuit boards. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, the sales of semiconductors worldwide reached $526.8 billion in 2023. The increasing desire for electronic gadgets, such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets, is driving the demand for dependable and top-notch solvents.
Additionally, DMAc enables the creation of complex electronic parts by guaranteeing a thorough, accurate, and efficient dissolving process of photoresist and other materials used in the production process. This role is indispensable in maintaining the high standards required for the assembly and functionality of modern electronic products, reflecting the pivotal contribution of DMAc to the tech industry.
Increasing Utilization in Agrochemicals
DMAc is highly regarded in the agrochemical sector for its superior solubility characteristics, making it a top choice as a solvent in the creation of pesticides and herbicides. The global herbicides market reached a value of US$ 33.0 billion in 2023. The market is anticipated to grow at a 3.7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2032, reaching US$ 45.8 billion in 2032, according to the IMARC Group. The capacity of DMAc to dissolve various active ingredients necessary for managing pests and weeds is vital in developing successful agrochemical products. DMAc plays a role as a transporter, aiding in evenly spreading these effective components throughout agricultural areas. Ensuring the chemicals are evenly distributed is essential to optimize the effectiveness of the pesticide or herbicide treatment. Furthermore, DMAc aids in stabilizing the chemical compounds in these formulations, prolonging their shelf life and preserving their effectiveness under different storage conditions. DMAc plays a crucial role in improving agricultural productivity and efficiency within agrochemicals.
