<strong>Dimethyl</strong> <strong>Ether</strong> <strong>Market</strong><br />
REPORT DESCRIPTION<br />
<strong>Dimethyl</strong> <strong>Ether</strong> <strong>Market</strong> - Global & China Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast<br />
2014 - 2020<br />
The global dimethyl ether (DME) market is moderately consolidated with a few large players holding a<br />
significant market share. A number of key companies operating in the DME market are based in China and<br />
these companies collectively account for a massive 85% of the global market, Transparency <strong>Market</strong> Research<br />
says in a new study. Some of these companies are Jiutai Energy Group, Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group<br />
Co. Ltd., and China Energy Ltd. These Chinese companies have low operational costs and high installed<br />
capacities, which gives them a massive competitive edge.<br />
Small players pose a negligible threat to the established players. This is because established players have<br />
achieved economies of scale and are able to produce DME at low cost. The competition has increased among<br />
manufacturers owing to the shutdown by the government on the illegal blending of DME in domestic LPG in<br />
China. The degree of competition is likely to be high in the next five years, observes TMR.<br />

High Demand from Asia Pacific Drives Demand for DME-blended LPG<br />
The demand for dimethyl ether-blended LPG is extremely high, especially in Asia Pacific and more specifically<br />
from countries such as China, Indonesia, and Japan. Among these countries, China accounts for 80% of the<br />
demand for DME, for LPG blending. The similarity of DME and LPG have led to a wide acceptance of DMEblended<br />
LPG and is thus replacing traditional LPG. This is benefitting the DME market.<br />
Another factor driving the DME demand is its use as an aerosol propellant. Conventional aerosol propellants<br />
are being increasingly replaced by the environmental-friendly DME-based aerosol propellants. DME-based<br />
aerosol propellants are extensively used in room fresheners, deodorants, hair sprays, antiperspirants, and pain<br />

relieving sprays. Thus, the demand for DME is driven by its extensive use in the cosmetic industry and other<br />
end use products.<br />
Ban Imposed by Chinese Government On Domestic Use of DME-blended LPG Reduces DME Demand<br />
The most lucrative application of DME is DME-blended LPG. The demand for DME-blended LPG in China is<br />
the highest and thus, the shutdown on the illegal blending of DME in LPG cylinders has resulted in the<br />
restricted growth of the DME market. Although the blending of DME in LPG cylinders still prevails in China,<br />
albeit illegally, the demand for DME has been subdued since the Chinese government imposed a ban on DMEblended<br />
LPG for domestic use.<br />
Another application area of DME is its use as an alternative to diesel, owing to its low emissions of harmful<br />
gases and smoke-free combustion. However, the poor lubricating properties and low viscosity of DME cause<br />
deterioration of the fuel injection systems. Leakage occurring from fuel supply systems as a result of low<br />
viscosity, renders DEM unviable as a standalone fuel.<br />

Bio-based DME to Emerge as Transportation Fuel in Bid to Reduce Carbon Emissions<br />
<strong>Dimethyl</strong> ether is derived from fossil fuel such as coal and biomass. The DME obtained from fossil fuel has a<br />
higher carbon footprint and releases much carbon dioxide. Thus, Europe, North America, and many countries<br />
in Asia have shifted focus to bio-based DME in a bid to reduce carbon emissions.<br />
Moreover, the government in China has imposed strict restrictions on the production of coal, in order to control<br />
environmental pollution. This is causing companies in China to invest heavily on cleaner technologies such as<br />
bio-based DME. Thus, bio-based DME is expected to become one of the mainstream fuels and open many<br />
opportunities of growth in the market.<br />

<strong>Dimethyl</strong> <strong>Ether</strong> <strong>Market</strong><br />
China to Lead <strong>Dimethyl</strong> <strong>Ether</strong> <strong>Market</strong> by Volume<br />
China accounted for the largest share of 80.4% in the global dimethyl ether market in 2013. Moreover, the<br />
market in China is expected to exhibit the highest growth in terms of volume. The DME market in Europe and<br />
North America are also expected to witness growth at a fast pace.<br />
On the basis of raw materials used in the manufacturing of DME, fossil fuel accounted for 96.5% of the global<br />
market in 2013, while bio-based DME accounted for the remaining 3.5% of the market.<br />
According to the report, the global opportunity in the DME market will rise from US$4.46 bn in 2013 to US$8.37<br />
bn by 2020, expanding at a 9.4% CAGR from 2014 to 2020, as per TMR.<br />
