The dimethylformamide market is projected to register a CAGR of around 6% during the forecast period (2021-2026).

The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Owing to the pandemic scenarios, several countries around the world went into lockdown to curb the spreading of the virus. The demand for dimethylformamide from various applications, such as chemical processing and solvents, and textiles, was severely affected due to halt in various industries such as construction, electrical and electronics, and others. Owing to all these aforementioned factors, dimethylformamide's market growth was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the condition is expected to recover in 2021, thereby benefitting the growth of the market studied over the forecast period.

Key Highlights

  • Over the medium term, the factors driving the demand in the dimethylformamide market are the increasing number of industrial applications for DMF as the solvent and the growing demand from the pharmaceutical sector.
  • On the flip side, Due to rising health concerns, as long exposure to dimethylformamide can cause health issues to human beings, and replacement by less harmful substitutes like dimethyl sulfoxide is expected to hinder the market growth.
  • However, the increasing DMF usage in research labs is likely to provide opportunities for the studied market during the forecast period.
  • Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global market, owing to the highly developed chemical processing industries, pharmaceutical, and textile sectors in emerging economies such as China, India, and Japan.

Key Market Trends

Growing Demand from the Chemical Industry

  • The demand for dimethylformamide (DMF) has been growing from the chemical industry, owing to its increasing uses as a solvent, a chemical intermediate, and an additive.
  • DMF is a commonly used solvent in polyurethane coatings, synthetic leathers, and artificial leather fabrics because it is highly soluble in nature, has low volatility, and has a low evaporation rate.
  • Dimethylformamide is also used as a solvent for many purposes, such as residue in synthetic leather, processing solvents, plastic, rubber, adhesives, and printing inks.
  • DMF has extraordinary solvency parameters so that it can be used as a reaction and crystallization solvent for pharmaceutical purposes, and DMF is also for purification purposes in the pharmaceutical industry.
  • In the petrochemical industry, DMF is used for the purification of acetylene from ethylene and butadiene from C4 streams. Those aliphatics are used in lube oils. Due to the high solubility of SO2 in DMF, exhaust combustion streams from high sulfur-containing fuels can be purified with CO2 being recovered.
  • Additionally, inorganic and organic-based residual fluxes are highly soluble in DMF. Therefore, this solvent is used as a cleaner. DMF is also used as an industrial paint stripper. This high solubility of inorganic substances also leads to the application of DMF in the production of high voltage capacitors.
  • Increasing uses of solvents and intermediates, expanding textile industries, increasing medical technology, and chemical processing sectors in developing countries are driving the demand for dimethylformamide used for various chemical manufacturing purposes through the years to come.
  • The chemical industry plays an important role in the growth of the dimethylformamide market. Over the three years from 2021 to 2024, the industry is expected to grow in every segment, with overall industry growth expected to be 1.8% in 2024. Basic chemicals are expected to see the largest growth of any chemical segment, at a 2.1 percent forecast for 2024.

Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market

  • Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global market owing to the highly developed chemical processing industries, pharmaceutical, and textile sectors.
  • The textile industry has been using the DMF in the production of acrylic fibers and polyurethane products, as well as in the manufacture of artificial leathers, films, and surface coatings. According to the International Trade Administration, Asia-Pacific is the largest market for the textile industry.
  • Chemical processing industries such as agricultural, petrochemical, polymer, and refining are majorly using dimethylformamide for various applications. India has now been ranked sixth among the world's ten largest manufacturing countries. The petrochemical industry contributes about 30% of raw material to the chemical industry, which is expected to reach USD 300 billion by 2025. The petrochemical industry itself is expected to cross the USD 100 billion by 2021 at a CAGR of 14%.
  • Acrylic fibers are being used in sweaters, boots, hats, gloves, athletic wear, carpeting, blankets, protective clothing, wigs, and hair extensions. This increased the demand for dimethylformamide in the production of acrylic fibers.
  • According to the Die Chemiefaserindustrie in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, China and India lead global fiber consumption in recent years.
  • Dimethylformamide helps in the production of pesticides in agriculture, purification in petrochemical industries, and it is used in inks and dyes in various printing and fiber-dying applications.
  • The Indian chemicals industry stood at USD 178 billion in 2019, and it is expected to reach USD 304 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 9.3%. The demand for chemicals is expected to expand by 9% per annum by 2025. In September 2020, the production of key chemicals was 8,36,435 MT, and petrochemicals were 17,26,502 MT.
  • Also, specialty chemicals constitute 22% of the total chemicals and petrochemicals market in India. The demand for specialty chemicals is expected to rise at a 12% CAGR in 2019-22. The petrochemicals demand is expected to record a 7.5% CAGR between 2019 and 2023, with polymer demand increasing at 8%. The agrochemicals market is expected to witness an 8% CAGR to reach USD 3.7 billion by FY22 and USD 4.7 billion by FY25.
  • Increasing applications for industrial solvents and growing demand for laboratory research and development purposes in the region are expected to drive dimethylformamide through the years to come.
