Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Dimethoxyethane is also known as ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dimethyl cellosolve, glyme, monoglyme, dimethyl glycol. Dimethoxyethane is a liquid ether which is used as a solvent. Dimethoxyethane is often used as a higher boiling alternative to THF and diethyl ether. Dimethoxyethane forms chelate complexes with cations and acts as a bidentate ligand. It is then often used in organometallic chemistry such as hydride reductions, Grignard reactions and palladium-catalyzed reactions like Stille couplings and Suzuki reactions. Dimethoxyethane is also a good solvent for oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.

Dimethoxyethane Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rise the demand in automotive sector

Dimethoxyethane is inceasingly use in automobile sector mainly in hybrid vehicles. This is the major factor which are projected to increase the market growth. A few automobile manufacturers across the globe are looking for alternatives to crossover vehicles, which has resulted in a rapid upsurge in demand for both bio-diesel and diesel. As efforts to meet energy requirements from sustainable sources also receive government support due to this the demand for the manufacturing of biofuels by dimethoxyethane would grow.

• Usage as a diesel alternative

Dimethoxyethane is used as a diesel alternative because it offers numerous advantages, including high fuel economy, better thermal efficiency, low exhaust emissions, low engine noise,and better ignition characteristics than diesel, among others which is making it a viable transportation fuel in the forecast period. Due to several advantages, dimethoxyethane demand is expected to drive the market growth rate.

• Increase the usage in LPG blending

The dimethoxyethane is used in various purposes like power plant fuel, chemical feedstock, transportation fuel, LPG blending, aerosol propellants,and others such as refrigerants and production processes which require heat. Currently, dimethosxyethane mainly used in LPG blending, it is the most common use of dimethoxyethane. dimethoxyethane is being combined with LPG as an alternative fuel additive to increase combustion and reduce the harmful emissions while lowering reliance on LPG.

Opportunities

The rising demand for dimethoxyethane for the production of substitute product of diesel which is extensively used in the compression ignition diesel engines, provision of efficient plateau and increasing demand of the product due to their excellent quenching properties are some of the major factors which will likely to increase the growth of the dimethoxyethane market inupcoming years. Growing consumer preferences and increasing environmental concerns indicate that a trend toward less hazardous and higher-quality products which are expected to benefit the dimethoxyethane market

The dimethoxyethane market is expected to benefit from a growing rate of adoption and an increasing number of LPG plants to meet the energy demands of an increasing population. Also, the market is likely to grow due to the ongoing development of the automotive industry and manufacturers which has shifted toward clean energy fuels. These are major factors which will act as market drivers and further increase beneficial opportunities for the market's growth rate.

Restraints/ Challenges

The reactive nature of dimethoxyethane and sensitive to traces of pollutants will be expected to obstruct the growth of the dimethoxyethane market during the forecast period. Furthermore, high cost of raw materials and the negative impact of COVID-19 outbreak on supply chain and will act as market restraint and further challenge the growth rate of the market. Non-availability of handle support in Dimethoxyethane and inability to carry heavy goods are the major factors which restrains market and will obstruct the market's growth rate.

COVID-19 Impact on Dimethoxyethane Market

The global impact of COVID-19 has been alarming and unusual, with dimethyoxyethane facing a negative demand shock in all areas as a result of the pandemic. Due to this situation, decrease the demand for DME-based LPG fuel from the automobile market, since people are not traveling as frequently. Due to corporate closures and lower consumer spending, the country's severe COVID-19 epidemic hindered the economic development. Due to the sudden pandemic-lockdown in the wake of Covid-19, the supply-demand chain for the dimethoxyethane got disturbed due to this market facing a slowdown in the pandemic period globally. The lockdown reduced the oil production by 15-20 million barrels per day (MBPD) globally. As a result of this, there was a drop in oil consumption globally, which in turn, caused a decline the dimethoxyethane consumption.

Recent Development

• In 2021, Oberon Fuels Starts the production of renewable dimethyl ether (rDME) on a commercial scale. Oberon is converting the waste methanol into rDME at its upgraded facility in calif, Brawley, as part of a $6 million project funded partly by a grant from the California Energy Commission. This is the first time in which feedstock has been used to produce rDME on a large scale.
• In 2021, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering (MHIENG), Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company (MGC) and Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) partnered with the National Gas Company of Massy Holdings (Massy), Trinidad and Tobago (NGC) as a joint venture in the Republic of Tobago and Trinidad, Caribbean Gas Chemical Limited (CGCL), to launch commercial operations of a dimethyl ether (DME) and methanol plant.
