Organic carbonates are gaining increased applicability in various chemical and biotechnical processes, owing to their advantageous attributes. Likewise, dimethyl carbonate is being highly publicized for its versatile chemical reactivity in the production of alternate fuel additives and cleaning agents. Manufacturers in the dimethyl carbonate market are grabbing incremental opportunities by increasing the applicability of DMC as a solvent in the synthesis of polymers, flavoring agents, and pesticides, among others. Moreover, DMC is being used as an electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries, owing to its low toxicity and efficient dissolving abilities.
Companies in the dimethyl carbonate market are increasing their research efforts to innovate in new synthesis technologies. As such, the transesterification of propylene carbonate and methanol to produce dimethyl carbonate is emerging as a mature technology. This technique is playing an instrumental role in the production of fuel additives that help to reduce vehicle emissions, thus preventing the risks of health issues among individuals.

Carbon is an abundant element and is one of the key elements in fuels and polymers. This has encouraged companies in the dimethyl carbonate market to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemicals such as dimethyl carbonate (DMC), owing to the non-toxic attributes of carbon. This trend is anticipated to grow, since traditional processes such as phosgenation involve drawbacks such as the use of highly toxic and corrosive phosgene gas and the formation of large amounts of inorganic salts. Hence, companies in the dimethyl carbonate market are increasing their R&D efforts to gain efficacy in the green synthesis of DMC.
Manufacturers are adopting methods that involve direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from CO2 and methanol in order to gain efficacy in green chemistry. As such, green synthesis of DMC is growing popular as a cost efficient method, since methanol is a less expensive raw material. As such, DMC is being used as a precursor for polycarbonate synthesis.
Ongoing developments in the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic are negatively impacting the dimethyl carbonate market. The novel virus is disrupting supply chains and affecting the business in China, since Chinese manufacturers are aggressive in polycarbonate and lithium battery production. Due to lockdown situations in most countries that have surging number of COVID-19 patients, manufacturing plants have been temporarily shut down until the infection subsides. As opposed to India, governments have relaxed regulations in orange and green zones. Thus, companies in the India dimethyl carbonate market can re-activate their production activities to minimize the slump in revenue generation.
Manufacturers are adopting contingency plans in order to revive market growth. They are establishing skeleton-size crews to ensure the well-being and safety of workers and employees. Companies are adopting dynamic measures to respond against volatile demands and changing market scenario.
Analysts’ Viewpoint
The COVID-19 outbreak has caused a slowdown in the production of polycarbonates and lithium-ion batteries in China. As such, more than 50% of the DMC in China is being produced via green synthesis of propylene carbonate (PC) and methanol to comply with environmental regulations. Manufacturers are increasing focus in several types of ionic liquids that play an instrumental role in the synthesis of DMC.
Different catalysts are acquiring prominence in DMC production technologies. However, homogenous catalysts are prone to deactivation and are difficult to separate in the process of DMC production. Hence, manufacturers should use heterogeneous catalysts that are easy to separate and hold promising potential in large-scale industrial applications.
