Quarterly Update on Global Dimethylamine (DMA) Market

For the Quarter Ending December 2020

Asia

During Q4 2020, healthy recovery from COVID-19 was sufficient to boost the demand of DMA from the agrochemicals and petrochemical sectors across the APAC. Global shortage of feedstock Methanol skyrocketed its prices in major Asian countries especially in China. Major DMA manufacturers witnessed great demand from agriculture and pharmaceuticals sectors, which well supported its prices. Buoyed by demand upsurge, the price of DMA in the Indian market rose from USD 488.3/tonne (October 2020) to USD 547.5/tonne (December 2020).

North America

In the North American region, Dimethylamine market was heard grappling with acute raw material shortage. Canada was heard facing shortage of feedstock Methanol throughout the quarter. The shortage was induced as an effect of unplanned outages of major Methanol production producers across the region since Q2 2020. The demand remained robust with several cosmetic manufacturers reporting high demand due to shift in regional trends towards sustainability and wellness impact ingredients. Demand for Dimethylamine Hydrochloride (DMA-HCl) for pharmaceutical preparations remained high.

Europe

In Q4 2020, Europe had faced regional shortage in supply of feedstock Methanol and it derivative products including methylamine and Dimethylamine. There were several reasons behind this fall. One of them was fire broke out in the largest Methanol production unit of Europe i.e., Equinor’s plant of capacity 900,000 tonne/year in Norway. Meanwhile, EU announced to reduce the usage pesticides in upcoming years, which is against the market sentiments.

About

Dimethylamine (DMA) is an organic compound with odour like Ammonia. It is a colourless flammable gas with chemical formula (CH₃)₂NH and turns into a colourless liquid under high pressure. DMA is commercially produced by reacting Methanol with Ammonia in the presence of catalyst at a high temperature of around 410°C. A common catalyst used for this process is alumina or silica alumina. Apart from synthesis it can be found naturally in plants, animals, and in many food items. There are many applications of Dimethylamine like it is used in petrochemicals, in making fungicides, insecticides, herbicides. It is also utilised for manufacturing soaps, detergent and pharmaceutical products. DMA is used to derive solvents like dimethylformamide and dimethylformamide. In addition, rocket fuel like dimethylhydrazine is also derived from Dimethylamine. It is commercially sold in compressed liquid form or as an aqueous solution of 33% purity. Because of its hazardous nature, it is banned to be used in cosmetics in some countries.
