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 />
