Methyl Mercaptan Market
Methyl mercaptan, also known as methanethiol or organosulfur, is a volatile organic compound that is used as an intermediate in producing pesticides. It is a colourless, flammable gas with a distinct smell. Methyl mercaptan is present in the blood, brain, and tissues of living beings such as plants, animals, and humans. It is also present in some food types like nuts, cheese, and asparagus. Methanol reacts with hydrogen sulfide to produce methyl mercaptan or methanethiol. Methyl mercaptan is called organosulfur due to the presence of organic sulfur content. Methanethiol is also used as a poultry and animal feed supplement. The other applications of methyl mercaptan are fungicides & pesticides, feedstock, intermediates, fuel additives, and catalysts.
Methyl Mercaptan Market Growth and Trend
The growing demand for methyl mercaptan in industries is significantly driving the growth of the global methyl mercaptan market. The advantages of the methyl mercaptan have compelled various industries to adopt this organic compound. It is a widely accepted intermediate product in the agricultural, chemical, plastic, and aerospace industries. This factor is significantly driving the growth of the methyl mercaptan market. The increasing demand for fertilizers and pesticides in the agricultural sector is creating a wide range of opportunities for the methyl mercaptan market. Methyl mercaptan is used as a significant intermediate in manufacturing pesticides and fertilizers. Therefore, the higher demands of methanethiol are anticipating the methyl mercaptan market to grow exponentially.
However, the covid19 pandemic adversely affected many countries resulting in the global economic slowdown. Governments of major economies imparted partial or complete lockdown in specific geographies. So, the manufacturing industries suspended their production of methyl mercaptan temporarily due to the unavailability of raw material and labour. The impact of the lockdown on these industries can negatively impact the methyl mercaptan market during the pandemic.
Methyl Mercaptan Market Segmentation
The methyl mercaptan market is segmented by component, process, application, and industry vertical. Based on components, the market consists of liquid and gas. By process, the market is divided into hydrogen sulfide & methanol synthesis, thiourea & dimethyl sulfate synthesis, and other processes. The hydrogen sulfide & methanol synthesis is estimated to expand the methyl mercaptan market, followed by thiourea & dimethyl sulfate synthesis. Based on application, the market is segmented into fungicides & pesticides, feedstock, intermediates, fuel additives, catalysts, and others. The fungicides & pesticides segment dominated the methyl mercaptan market, followed by the feedstock segment. With the increasing demand for fuels around the world, the fuel additives segment is anticipated to grow exponentially. Based on industry vertical, the market is divided into agriculture, chemical, food, aerospace, mining, plastic, and others. The agriculture segment is significantly driving the methyl mercaptan market to expand rapidly, followed by food segments. Due to the massive expanse of the global aviation industry, the aerospace segment also fostering the methyl mercaptan market.
