Dimethylacetamide Market Share

Dimethylacetamide Market Overview

Dimethylacetamide Market Size was valued at USD 109.2 Million in 2022. The Dimethylacetamide industry is projected to grow from USD 110.2 Million in 2023 to USD 137.8 Million by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.50% during the forecast period (2023 - 2032).

Dimethylacetamide, also known as DMA or DMAc is a colorless, water-miscible liquid. Being a dipolar aprotic solvent, it is widely used as an industrial solvent for a variety of organic and inorganic compounds.  Dimethylacetamide is produced by reacting dimethylamine with methyl acetate at a temperature of more than 95 degrees in the presence of sodium methoxide. Owing to high thermal and chemical stability, it is widely used in various end-use industries such as pharmaceutical, plastic, agrochemicals, dye & coatings, textiles, and others.

The increasing demand for dimethylacetamide as a reaction medium and reaction catalyst in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries is expected to drive the market demand during the forecast period. For instance, N,N Dimethylacetamide is widely used as a drug excipient in various pharmaceutics such as Vumon, Busulfex, and others. Additionally, DMAc enhances bone regeneration in vivo and inhibits osteoclastogenesis and inflammation. Furthermore, the use of DMAc as a solvent and co-catalyst in the production of pesticides in agrochemical industries is likely to fuel the demand for dimethylacetamide in the coming years.

Moreover, the increasing use of dimethylacetamide in the production of polyacrylonitrile and polyurethane-based fibers in textile industry is expected to add value to the global market. Additionally, the use of DMAC as a solvent in wet spinning process to produce acrylic fibers is further propelling the market demand.

However, health risks such as toxicity and other related health-hazardous associated with dimethylacetamide are expected to hinder the market demand in coming years.
