Dimethylformamide is a colorless organic liquid with a formula (CH3)2NC(O)H and CAS number 68-12-2. Dimethylformamide is primarily used as an industrial solvent for various applications such as polymer fibers, films, and surface coatings. Dimethylformamide is synthesis by the reaction of methyl formate and dimethylamine or by the reaction of dimethylamine with carbon monoxide. Dimethylformamide is also used as a catalyst in a various chemical reaction and used in raw material in different chemical reactions owing to its miscibility with water and multiple compounds.
Robust growth of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry across the globe is expected to drive the demand of dimethylformamide for various applications substantially. Owing to the high solubility of organic and inorganic residuals, dimethylformamide is widely used as a cleaner for hot-dip tinned parts in the chemical industry. Moreover, dimethylformamide is also used across the electronics industry, owing to its high solvency. Thus, the strong growth of the electronics industry across the globe, particularly in North America and Asia-Pacific is likely to exert a positive impact on the growth of the global dimethylformamide market during the forecast period. Moreover, with the growing health concern and with the substantial investment in R&D and expansion of the pharmaceutical industry is expected to significantly drive the growth of dimethylformamide market during the forecast period.
Furthermore, it is also widely used as a solvent for polymers and resins. Hence with the robust growth of the polymer industry across the globe, the demand for dimethylformamide is expected to increase significantly during the forecast period. Also, high purity dimethylformamide has a characteristic of selective solvency. Hence it is also used in removing butadiene from hydrocarbons processes and removing or gaining acetylene in various chemical processes. Furthermore, owing to the increasing use of dimethylformamide in a wide range of application such as adhesive and surface coatings, industrial solvents, and others, is expected to propel the growth of the global market.
Though dimethylformamide is used across a wide range of applications, the concern about its potential health impact on human and animals is expected to be a key challenge for the growth of the global market. It has been observed an acute exposure to dimethylformamide can damage the liver in humans and animals.
