Thiochemicals Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Thiochemicals are a class of chemicals in which the oxygen molecule is replaced by sulphur, resulting in a thio-compound. Thionation is a chemical reaction in which the sulphur ion replaces the oxygen ion. Sulfur, as a major compound which is used in the production of thiochemicals mainly in methyl mercaptan, which act as a precursor for the amino acid used in animal nutrition products.

Global Thiochemicals Market Dynamics

Drivers

• High usage of thiochemicals in animal nutrition

In the animal nutrition end-use, thiochemicals are widely used in the form of methyl mercaptan. Methyl mercaptan is used in the production of methionine. Furthermore, Methionine is mainly used as a dietary supplement for animal feed and poultry. Therefore, the growing demand for poultry and other meat is expected to drive the growth of the thiochemicals market.

• Growing demand of methyl mercaptan

Methyl mercaptan is used in animal nutrition as well as it is also used in oil and gas industries whereas other mercaptans are used as polymerization agent in the polymerization industries and gas iodizer in gas leakages. Methyl mercaptans are also used for desulfurization of fuels in the oil & gas industry and in crackers as anticocking agents. Thiochemicals are also utilized in synthesizing thioglycolic acids, which are basic materials for synthesizing PVC heat stabilizers.

Furthermore, thiochemicals market is projected to be driven by high usage of this chemical in the production of methionine because it delivers main nutrient for the poultry industry. The growing demand for natural gas in industrial along with the domestic applications and growing number of consumers are also anticipated to flourish the growth of the targeted market.

Opportunities

• Several application associated with thiochemicals

Thiochemicals has several important end-use applications which include such as cosmetics, oil and gas, chemical, plastics, agrochemical and others which will rate lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market. The major industry contributors have invested profoundly in R&D initiatives to create cost-effective, better-quality products with reduced prices and less to zero hazardous impacts.

Furthermore, growing concerns regarding the environmental safety and the increasing awareness regarding the better-quality of thiochemicals are anticipated to upsurge the demand for the thiochemicals and further generate immense opportunities for the thiochemicals market growth during the forecast period.

Restraints/ Challenges

• High toxicity of thiochemicals
