Dimethyl Carbonate Market Estimated to Rise at a Lucrative at 5.5% CAGR During 2

Posted by pranav suryawanshi on September 27th, 2019

Dimethyl Carbonate or DMC with chemical formula C3H6O3 is a multi-purpose chemical that showcases desirable properties such as low toxicity and better solvency.  It is a pale white colored chemical which is flammable, highly reactive, and odorless. It was first manufactured by the reaction of methanol with phosgene but due to extreme toxicity of phosgene, the chemical is now manufactured through other methods such as transesterification or the oxidation of methanol carbonylation. Dimethyl carbonate is primarily utilized as a methylating agent in the synthesis of vitamins, anti-infective drugs, central nervous system drugs, and analgesic and antipyretic drugs.

Polycarbonate segment is one of the leading application of dimethyl carbonate market; dimethyl carbonate is primarily employed as an intermediate during the production process of polycarbonate. The application is predicted to expand at a CAGR of more than 5% during the forecast period. This is mainly due to growing popularity of polycarbonate in end-use industries such as automotive and electronic industries which in turn create the opportunity for dimethyl carbonate. Almost half of the global production of dimethyl carbonate is utilized in the manufacture of polycarbonates.
