The global market for Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP) was estimated to be worth US$ 111 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 81.9 million by 2031 with a CAGR of -4.4% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP) cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
Dimethyl phthalate is a colorless transparent oily liquid with a slightly aromatic odor. It is miscible with organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, acetone, cyclohexanone, methyl ethyl ketone, methanol, n-butanol, toluene, etc. It is insoluble in water and petroleum ether. Dimethyl phthalate is a plasticizer with strong solubility in many resins. Compatible with a variety of cellulose resins, natural and synthetic rubbers, and vinyl resins. It has good film formation, adhesion and water resistance, and high light stability and thermal stability; Often used with diethyl phthalate in the production of cellulose acetate films, varnishes, transparencies and molding powders. A small amount is used in the production of nitrocellulose. It can also be used as an extender for nitrile rubber plasticizer. DMP can also be used as a solvent for mosquito repellent oil (crude oil), polyvinyl fluoride paint, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide and DDT. When used as rubber plasticizer, it has no effect on rubber vulcanization, and the product has good cold resistance.
Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP) is an organic compound primarily used as a plasticizer, solvent, and fixative in industrial and consumer products. It belongs to the phthalate ester family and is synthesized from phthalic anhydride and methanol. Key properties include:
High solubility in organic solvents and limited water solubility.
Volatility and low viscosity, making it suitable for coatings and adhesives.
Controversial health/environmental impact: Linked to endocrine disruption, leading to regulatory restrictions in some regions.
The global key manufacturers of Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP) include Hangzhou Qianyang Technology, KLJ Group, Runtai New Material, Aarti Industries, BASF, Fujian Mingfeng, Demon Chemicals, Daihachi Chemical Industry, Ostend Basic Chemicals, Indo-Nippon Chemical and Yuanli Chemical, etc. In 2024, the global top five players hold a share approximately 68% in terms of revenue. China is the largest producer of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) holds a share over 55%. In terms of product, above 99.5% is the largest segment, with a share over 86%. And in terms of application, the largest application is peroxides, with a share over 50%.
The DMP market faces significant headwinds from health regulations and substitution trends but retains viability in cost-sensitive industrial applications and tropical public health solutions (e.g., malaria prevention). Producers must pivot to high-margin niches (e.g., microencapsulated textiles) and explore emerging markets with lax regulations (Africa, Southeast Asia). Long-term survival hinges on balancing compliance and innovation in a shrinking phthalate landscape.
