Dimethylformamide (DMF) Market Analysis
The dimethylformamide market is estimated at USD 2.12 billion currently and is expected to reach USD 2.52 billion over the forecast period, registering a CAGR of around 3.5% during the forecast period.
The market was negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. 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, solvents, and textiles, was severely affected due to a halt in various industries, such as construction, electrical and electronics, and others. Currently, the market has recovered from the pandemic and is growing at a significant rate.
- Over the medium term, the factors driving demand in the dimethylformamide market are the increasing number of industrial applications for DMF as a solvent and the growing demand from the pharmaceutical sector.
- On the flip side, due to rising health concerns, long-term exposure to dimethylformamide can cause health issues in humans, and its replacement by less harmful substitutes like dimethyl sulfoxide is expected to hinder the market growth.
- Nevertheless, during the forecast period, however, the growing use of DMF in research labs is likely to create opportunities for the market that was looked at.
- Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global market, owing to the highly developed chemical processing industries, pharmaceutical industries, and textile sectors in emerging economies such as China, India, and Japan.
