Research and development of focused products is the only way to develop new production techniques, increase agility, and innovate the product's technical specifications. Because of the aforementioned factors, research and development procedures are identified as a vital means of boosting any market's growth rate. These initiatives are sometimes responsible for the discovery of other substitutes or alternatives to the intended product. This is a degrading aspect that is causing the market to grow at a slow rate
Consistent research and development for product innovation in a market like the global NMP market, where products have many alternatives. It is a critical success factor for manufacturers operating in the market to acquire an edge over available alternatives.
Commercially, NMP is manufactured through the condensation of GBL (gamma-butyrolactone) and MA (methylamine), petroleum-based products. Attributing to the low production volume and extreme care required during the manufacturing process, the production cost becomes high as compared to that of regular grades.
The use of N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) hence is limited to certain high-cost, specialty, and niche applications that necessitate significantly high levels of purity and performance characteristics. For the same reason, the overall NMP market is significantly small as compared to other industrial solvents.
Efforts to develop alternatives to NMP have gained momentum over the recent past. Health safety reasons and costs involved are likely to result in the development of viable alternatives for NMP. This is expected to emerge as a primary concern for NMP manufacturers in the forthcoming years.
