Market Overview:
The global methyl mercaptan 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 methyl mercaptan from various applications such as animal nutrition, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and others. In addition, the growing demand for methyl mercaptan in emerging countries is also contributing to the growth of this market. However, volatility in prices of raw materials may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
Methyl mercaptan is a colorless gas with an unpleasant, garlic-like odor. It is used as a chemical intermediate in the production of other sulfur compounds, including methanethiol, ethanethiol, and thioglycolic acid. Methyl mercaptan also finds use as a corrosion inhibitor in natural gas pipelines.
Methyl Mercaptan Segment classification:
Methyl mercaptan is an organic compound and it's a type of chemical substance that contains a SH group. It has the formula CH3SH and is usually represented by the symbol MeSH. Methyl Mercaptan can also be produced naturally, from thio methyl sulfide (TMS) which itself is obtained from bacterial fermentation in soil or sea water.
Hydrogen Sulfide-Methanol Vapor Phase Synthesis:
Hydrogen sulfide-methanol vapor phase synthesis is a process used for producing methyl mercaptan. It involves the reaction of hydrogen sulfide with methanol to produce methyl mercaptan which is widely used as an aroma chemicals in food products and natural gas odorants.
Application Insights:
The global methyl mercaptan market is segmented on the basis of application into animal nutrition, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and others. The animal nutrition segment dominated the overall industry in terms of revenue share at over 40% in 2017. Methylmercaptan is widely used as a feed additive for poultry and livestock globally owing to its ability to promote growth performance by increasing muscle mass and decreasing fat deposition. It also helps improve feed efficiency by enhancing rumen function which aids in digestion of food & absorption of nutrients from it.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest market for global methyl mercaptan market and accounted for a volume share of over 40.0% in 2017. The region is expected to witness significant growth in terms of demand on account of rising product consumption across various end-use industries such as agrochemicals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and others. China is one of the major producers as well as consumers of methanol globally; thus resulting in high demand from these countries coupled with low production costs makes this location ideal for industry expansion purposes.
The European Union5 has stringent regulations regarding sulfur dioxide emissions that are produced during the hydrogen sulfide-methanol vapor phase synthesis process6 which will result into less industry penetration by 2030 However, North America is anticipated to be a promising destination owing to its growing animal feed production sector coupled with increasing exports from U.S.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for natural gas as a fuel source is expected to drive the methyl mercaptan market growth over the forecast period.
- Growing use of methyl mercaptan in various end-use industries such as agriculture, food & beverage, and pharmaceuticals is anticipated to boost the market growth.
- Stringent environmental regulations pertaining to sulfur emissions are projected to propel the demand for methyl mercaptan in various applications over the forecast period.
- Rising investments in R&D activities for developing new applications of methyl mercaptan is likely to provide lucrative opportunities for market players over the next few years.
