It is expected that the dimethyl sulfoxide industry will continue to maintain stable growth
Analysis of the current situation of dimethyl sulfoxide industry
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a colorless liquid with special chemical properties and biological activity. It is an organic solvent that is soluble in water and organic solvents and has strong solubility. Dimethyl sulfoxide is a relatively safe solvent widely used in fields such as chemistry, medicine, agriculture, and bioscience.
As one of the largest manufacturing countries in the world, China's industrialization process continues to advance, and the demand for dimethyl sulfoxide also increases accordingly. With the aging population in China and the continuous improvement of the medical industry, the demand for medicine and the medical field is also increasing. Dimethyl sulfoxide, as a relatively environmentally friendly solvent, has the characteristics of low toxicity and low volatility. Therefore, some processes and industries may choose to replace traditional organic solvents with dimethyl sulfoxide, thereby increasing demand for them. According to the development status data of the dimethyl sulfoxide industry, the market size of China's dimethyl sulfoxide industry in 2022 is 2.092 billion yuan.
At present, most domestic manufacturers adopt the hydrogen sulfide methanol method. This method has the advantages of short process flow, small factory area, high conversion rate of main raw material methanol, easy control of process indicators, and excellent and stable product quality. China is currently the world's largest market for dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) production and sales. Domestic products not only meet the demand of downstream industries in China, but also export in large quantities to overseas markets. Relevant data on the development status of the dimethyl sulfoxide industry shows that in 2022, China's dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) production increased to 75200 tons, with a demand of 49700 tons.
Trends in the dimethyl sulfoxide industry
Growth potential: As one of the world's largest manufacturing countries, China has huge market potential and will continue to drive demand growth in the dimethyl sulfoxide industry. With the continuous development of China's economy and the advancement of industrialization, the application of dimethyl sulfoxide in the chemical industry will continue to expand.
Technological innovation: The current development status of the dimethyl sulfoxide industry mentions that with the continuous progress of technology, the dimethyl sulfoxide industry will face more opportunities for technological innovation. The emergence of new production processes and purification technologies may improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and improve product quality and performance. Technological innovation also helps to meet constantly changing market demands.
International market impact: The development of China's dimethyl sulfoxide industry will also be influenced by the international market. China is one of the world's largest producers of dimethyl sulfoxide, and exports are also an important component of the industry. The global economic recovery and increasing demand for environmentally friendly solvents may bring opportunities to China's dimethyl sulfoxide industry.
History of dimethyl sulfoxide industry
19th century: Discovery and research of dimethyl sulfoxide. DMSO was first discovered by Russian scientist Alexander Mikhailovich Zukurni in the late 19th century and began studying its properties and applications in the early 20th century.
1950s: Industrial production of DMSO. In the 1950s, American chemists Stanley W. Jacobs and Wallace Ramos developed an industrial preparation method for DMSO and established a production process for DMSO.
1960s to 1970s: Medical applications of DMSO. During this period, DMSO was found to have good drug delivery performance, which can help drugs enter the body through the skin or mucosal layer. Therefore, DMSO has been widely used in the pharmaceutical field for improving drug delivery pathways and enhancing drug delivery.
In the 1980s to 1990s, the application of DMSO expanded in the fields of chemistry and electronics. Due to its excellent solubility and conductivity, DMSO can be an important component in solvents, catalysts, and electronic materials. During this period, DMSO was widely used in fields such as chemical synthesis, polymer preparation, batteries, and liquid crystal displays.
In recent years: Market development of dimethyl sulfoxide. With the increasing demand for new materials and efficient solvents, the market demand for DMSO as a green and efficient organic solvent is also constantly growing. At the same time, researchers have conducted in-depth research on the properties and applications of DMSO, developed more DMSO derivatives and modified products, and expanded the application field of DMSO.
Overall, the dimethyl sulfoxide industry has gone through a development process from discovery to industrial production, and then to widespread application. With the continuous expansion of the application of dimethyl sulfoxide in pharmaceutical, chemical, electronic and other fields, it is expected that the dimethyl sulfoxide industry will continue to maintain stable growth and continuously promote the development of related fields.
