Market Overview:
The global di-methyl ether market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for di-methyl ether as a fuel additive and propellant. Di-methyl ether is used as an additive in LPG blending, transportation fuel, and industrial applications. It is also used as an aerosol propellant in products such as deodorants, hair sprays, and insecticides. Additionally, bio-based di-methyl ether has emerged as a potential replacement for fossil fuel based di-methyl ether owing to its environmental benefits such as low emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs).
Product Definition:
A colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet odor, used as an anesthetic and in the production of plastics.
Fossil Fuel Based:
Fossil fuel based, it's usage and growth factor in Di-methyl Ether market? Fossil fuel is the naturally occurring resource that consists of organic remains of plants and animals that died and were preserved due to climatic or geographic conditions. The most common fossil fuels are coal, petroleum (also known as crude oil), natural gas, and lignite. These fossil fuels are used for various applications such as electricity generation, transportation and heating purposes.
Bio Based:
Bio-based di-methyl ether (DME) is a colorless, flammable organic liquid with an odor similar to gasoline. Bio based DME is used as a fuel for internal combustion engines in the transportation and manufacturing sectors. It can also be blended into conventional diesel to improve its octane rating and reduce air pollution. Increasing environmental concerns regarding the use of petroleum based fuels have been driving demand for bio based DME over the past few years.
Application Insights:
LPG blending was the largest application segment in 2015 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. LPG is extensively used as a fuel in domestic as well as commercial boilers across various regions owing to its low cost, easy availability and high energy density. Blending di-methyl ether with LPG increases boiler efficiency by enhancing heat transfer properties of the gas thus making it an ideal solution for heating applications.
Aerosol propellants are another key application segment where DME plays an important role. It is used along with PAG (Polyamide Gamma Ethylene) based aerosol products such as deodorant cans, insect repellents and air fresheners among others which are manufactured using polymers that have ethylene glycol units attached to their molecular chains.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the leading consumer and accounted for over 45% of the global demand in 2016. The region is expected to witness significant growth on account of increasing product consumption in industrial, automotive, and aerospace applications. China is projected to remain a key consumer owing to its rapidly expanding aviation industry coupled with rising domestic production capacity for LPG.
Europe emerged as the second-largest regional market accounting for over 25% of global demand in 2016 owing to high fossil fuel based ethylene production along with growing environmental concerns regarding chemical propellants usage. North America also contributed significantly towards global market share mainly due to high Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) consumption which resulted from stringent regulations aimed at reducing gasohol emissions from gasoline engines since 2005 (Reference).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for Di-methyl Ether in various end-use industries such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and solvents is expected to drive the market growth.
- Growing awareness about the benefits of Di-methyl Ether is projected to fuel its demand in the near future.
- Rising investments by key players for expanding their production capacities is likely to propel the market growth over the forecast period.
- Stringent environmental regulations regarding VOC emissions are anticipated to create new opportunities for Di-methyl Ether market players in coming years .
