Global Dimethyl Ether Market Definition
Dimethyl Ether (DME) is also known as methoxymethane, it is a colorless gas which used as a refrigerant, solvent, propellant, and in making plastic materials. DME is prepared from syngas using the indirect synthesis method which consists of two products which are methanol synthesis dehydration synthesis. With ever-growing problems on pollution, energy, and oil supplies, the world is focusing more on non-petroleum-based products, which can help to increases the efficiency of energy usage. Compared to other fuels like methane, methanol, and ethanol, the DME is likely to have the largest impact on society. DME is becoming a preferred fuel choice which can potentially reduce the dependency on petroleum. DME can also be used as a clean high-efficiency compression ignition fuel with less amount of NOx, SOx. It does not have a large issue regarding toxicity, production, infrastructure, and transportation.
DME has been considered as a potential and promising energy alternative for petroleum sub-products because of its good burning characteristics and also it has high cetena content which is more superior to the diesel and is considered as a cleaner fuel than the diesel. DME is manufactured from the synthesis gases which include a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas which originates from natural gases, petroleum sub-products and gaseous coal, and bio-mass.

Global Dimethyl Ether Market Overview
Increased application and utility in several industries, and less hazardous nature and environmental friendliness as compared to traditional fuels are anticipated to drive the market. There has been a rapid increase in the use of Dimethyl Ether in various industries. The automobile industry in Asia Pacific is increasingly using DME. It is also used as a propellant in paint sprays. Moreover, Dimethyl Ether is also being used as a transportation fuel because it emits very less particulate matter. Technological Advancements might help in using DME as an alternative for traditional fuel sources. It is also very energy efficient. The growing concern for the environment and the need to use environment friendly products and fuels will drive the market further. In addition, Dimethyl Ether is believed to be abundant in nature as there are rich coal deposits in Asia-Pacific region. These factors are anticipated to drive the market and act as growth propellers.
However, existing infrastructure alteration, the impact of flat demand and production cost on capacity utilization, and the associated side effects are anticipated to restrain the market. The existing infrastructure alteration and the impact of production cost are anticipated to disrupt the demand-supply chain. Moreover, the associated side effects cause apprehensions among the consumers. If used without caution, exposure to DME can cause eye and nose irritation, headaches, and dizziness. Contact with skin can cause frostbite. These factors are anticipated to act as growth deterrents.
