The Dimethyl Ether market is set to surpass $15 billion by 2027, driven by demand in Asia Pacific, particularly China, for LPG blending.
Dimethyl ether is a colorless and odorless gas with a low boiling point. It is produced from various raw materials such as methanol, coal, biomass, and natural gas. It has no sulfur content which makes it ideal energy fuel and is widely used across the various industry such as petrochemical and chemical as a solvent.
High demand for di-methyl ether-blended LPG from the Asia Pacific region is primarily fueling the market growth of the dimethyl ether. According to the Coherent Market Insights analysis among the Asia Pacific countries, China alone accounts for over 80% of the demand for DME for LPG blending purposes. Also, China imports LPG in large volumes to meet the unmet huge demand from the domestic as well as industrial sectors.
The global dimethyl ether market is projected to surpass US$ 15.0 billion by the end of 2027, in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period (2020 to 2027).
Top Key Players in Di-methyl Ether market: China Energy Ltd., Fuel DME Production Co., Ltd., Korea Gas Corporation, Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Akzo Nobel NV, Oberon Fuels, Inc., Grillo-Werke AG, Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group Co., Ltd., E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co, and Mitsubishi Corporation

Regional Analysis:
Besides segmental breakdown, the report is highly structured into region wise study. The regional analysis comprehensively done by the researchers highlights key regions and their dominating countries accounting for substantial revenue share in the Di-methyl Ether market. The study helps understanding how the market will fare in the respective region, while also mentioning the emerging regions growing with a significant CAGR. The following are the regions covered in this report.
Less viscosity and lubricity of dimethyl ether is restricting its use across diesel in automobiles. Poor lubricating property and low viscosity cause wear and tear within the automotive system. Hence, dimethyl ether as diesel isn’t compatible with the automotive system. this is often expected to hamper the market growth of dimethyl ether.
Augmenting demand for dimethyl ether across various developing region is projected to offer several potential opportunities in the near future. Growing in the end-user industries such as power generation, LPG blending, and aerosol propellant across developing regions such as China and India is expected to foster the market growth. Thus, rapid growth in the aforementioned industries across the developing region will favor market growth.
Increasing application across chemical feedstock, refrigerant, and welding & brazing operations is projected to bring profitable opportunities. Moreover, strong growth in the transportation sector coupled with the increasing commencement of various DME plants to fill the gap between demand and supply is further projected to propel the market growth of the dimethyl ether over the forecast period
