Dimethyl Disulphide (DMDS) Market

Dimethyl Disulphide (DMDS) Market Outlook (2023 to 2033)

The global dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) market size is anticipated to be evaluated at USD 227.8 million in 2023. According to FMI, the overall market is expected to reach nearly USD 343.7 million by 2033. Over the forecast years until 2033, the global market could exhibit this immense growth at an average year-on-year growth rate of 4.2%.

The adoption of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) is likely to increase owing to its low risk of premature cooking by its by-products. However, apart from being highly inflammable, dimethyl disulfide might be toxic to aquatic fauna, which is expected to decline its demand and the global dimethyl disulfide market growth.

On the other hand, the dimethyl disulfide market is likely to witness significant growth in the future due to the growing use of dimethyl disulfide as a key flavoring agent in various food products.

The adoption of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) is anticipated to rise as it is a good alternative to methyl bromide in chemical industries. Additionally, the amount of chemical needed to apply reduces compared to the application rates of other film types, as well as increasing retention of DMDS is possible primarily through the application of TIF.

The global population is expected to increase by around 2.3 billion people between 2020 and 2050 that need to be fed, therefore surging the requirement for dimethyl disulfide in food products, according to the Food & Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the UN. Moreover, the half-life of DMDS in the soil is two to three times greater than the half-life of MITC, as recent research indicates. This is leading to the development of the dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) market.

Positively Impacting Factors that Boost the Dimethyl Disulphide (DMDS) Market

The compound has a large potential customer base due to the vast range of businesses it serves. Increases in disposable income from a growing urban labor force are forecasted to feed a populace that values and wants high-quality food.

Demand for dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) is projected to increase because of the reasons because it is employed as a primary flavoring agent in numerous culinary products. Some additional considerations are as follows:

• Inevitably, rising human numbers are expected to drive more demand for pesticides. The UN's Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) estimates that the global population is expected to rise by almost 2.3 billion between 2020 and 2050. Although this is a much more modest increase in population growth than that experienced over the preceding 40 years, it still represents a 30% rise in mouths to feed. This is also driving the demand for dimethyl disulfide (DMDS).
• The compound's special sulfiding qualities make it useful in the oil refining industry, and this is expected to boost demand. The petrochemical sector makes use of it as a fuel additive and an extraction solvent. The global market is likely to benefit from this, too, as sales increase during the foreseen time frame.

Key Obstructions & Key Opportunities: The Dimethyl Disulphide (DMDS) Market

Consumers need to be careful when utilizing dimethyl disulfide in certain sectors, and it must be stored away from potential ignition sources. This is because dimethyl is highly flammable due to its low flash point and can cause a negative impact, which is estimated to significantly hinder its demand and impede the global dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) market size.

DMDS might have a slightly unpleasant odor. Additionally, it might require purging and release undesired SOx emissions if not handled properly, as it generates methane during the sulfiding operation.

Conversely, the regulations on the applications of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) concentrations in new-make grain nature in the Scotch Whiskey industry are anticipated to create numerous opportunities for the market players since it is crucial as a significant flavor congener.

Furthermore, mergers and acquisitions to expand the application of organic compounds may create lucrative options for manufacturers to propel the future dimethyl disulfide market growth.

Regional Insights of the Dimethyl Disulphide (DMDS) Market on a Global Level

Country	Details
North America	North America currently holds a huge share of the dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) market, with a revenue of 25.4%. This is attributed to factors such as strong demand for hydrocracking agents and food additives, which are expected to positively impact the growth of the market in this region over the forecast period.
Europe	Europe is the second-leading dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) market with a revenue of 20.6%. This is owing to the expansion of the food & beverage industry in this region and its utilization in petroleum/petrochemicals.
Asia Pacific	Pesticide and food additive manufacturing in the Asia Pacific (APAC) area has increased steadily over the past few years in response to rising concerns about food safety in many countries. The region's dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) market is expected to expand in part because of rising demand for soil fumigants.

Start-up Companies that are Contributing to the Dimethyl Disulphide (DMDS) Market Growth

Key players in the dimethyl disulfide market aim to keep producing high-purity dimethyl disulfide by constructing multiple production sites with bulk storage facilities and distribution. On the other hand, start-up companies are trying to expand the applications of dimethyl disulfide.

The global dimethyl disulfide market is set to witness significant growth in the coming years since the product is a useful commodity for various industries, such as food and beverages, petrochemicals, and chemicals, all of which are primarily consumer-dependent.

Some Recent Developments in the Dimethyl Disulfide (DMDS) Market are

The global dimethyl disulfide market is witnessing remarkable competition due to numerous proactive players, which is why it is fragmented.

The Regional German Administrative Court in Neustadt, a der Weinstrasse, ruled in July 2019 (reference number 3 K 75/18. NW) that DMDS is an intermediate in the applications, establishing the intermediate status of DMDS.

The court's ruling bolsters the designation of DMDS as an intermediate in these applications, consistent with two previous legal opinions on the definition of article 3(15) produced by law firms Field Fisher Waterhouse and Schilling, Zutt & Anschutz.

Arkema has been working on a new project at its Kerteh location in Malaysia since July 2017, intending to increase methyl mercaptan production by 50 percent. The completion of this project is expected to facilitate the company's global expansion efforts.

Arkema has created a novel family of gas odorants for LPG called Vigileak, which is more chemically stable than Ethyl Mercaptan.
