The report also includes competitor and regional analysis and highlights the latest advancements in the market.
Industry Overview of Thiochemicals Market
Thiochemicals represent a set of chemicals where the oxygen molecules present in the compound are replaced by sulfur ions via thitation or thionation reaction. They usually consist of mercaptans or methanethiols, which are widely used as an odorant for desulfurization and natural gas leakage detection purposes. Thiochemicals exhibit lower boiling points and are less soluble in water. They are also characterized by a strong odor. Thiochemical compounds are further employed to produce methyl mercaptans and utilized as an anti-cocking and polymerization agent. Presently, they are commercially available in varying types, such as sulfoxide, dimethyl, thioglycolic acid, and ester, across the globe.
How Big Is the Thiochemicals Market?
The global thiochemicals market size reached US$ 1038.6 Million in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 1,432.1 Million by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% during 2023-2028.
Global Industry Trends and Drivers:
The inflating need for animal feed to improve poultry health and increase the production of agriculture-based products is primarily driving the thiochemicals market. Additionally, the widespread adoption of livestock meat that has various nutritional properties, owing to the growing consumer health consciousness, is further bolstering the market growth. Besides this, the rising usage of thiochemicals for formulating methionine, which is later incorporated in feeds as a dietary supplement, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the elevating popularity of thiochemicals across the oil and gas sector for detecting gas leakage and as a synthesizing agent for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) heat stabilizers is positively influencing the global market. Apart from this, extensive investments by public and private agencies in the construction of new chemical plants and improving the existing infrastructures are also stimulating the market growth. Furthermore, strategic collaborations among leading manufacturers are anticipated to fuel the thiochemicals market over the forecasted period.
