Sarasota, FL -- (SBWire) -- 02/15/2019 --Dimethyl ether (DME) is an odorless, colorless, slightly narcotic, non-hazardous, highly inflammable gas at ambient conditions. It is also known as methoxymethane or wood ether or dimethyl oxide. It has the low boiling point and is generated from various raw materials such as methanol, bio-based feedstock, coal, and natural gas.
Dimethyl ether (DME) is generally known as an alternative fuel option that is widely used in various LPG blending, aerosol propellant, transportation fuel, chemical feedstock, and power plant fuel applications. Dimethyl ether (DME) is more suitable for various applications and generated a massive demand in 2017. The increasing consumer demand for dimethyl ether (DME) is anticipated to fuel the market's growth. Robust growth of end-user industries like transportation and power generation industries across the globe is expected to be the major driver for the growth of the dimethyl ether (DME) market. Government is supporting as well as promoting the ecological policies. Sufficient raw material accessibility helps to raise the market. The increasing use of bio-based fuel from emerging economies is the major key factor that is driving the market growth. The strict government rules and regulations towards clean energy may hamper the market growth. The manufacturing companies are focusing on innovative products and anticipate opening new opportunities for the market. Nonetheless, product innovation and emerging markets in the Asia Pacific are likely to open new avenues for the major players in the market during the years to come.
