According to the latest research, the global N-Methyl Pyrrolidone market size was valued at USD 2251.27 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 9.15% during the forecast period, reaching USD 3806.64 million by 2028.
N-Methyl Pyrrolidone (NMP) is an organic compound consisting of a 5-membered lactam. It is a colorless liquid, although impure samples can appear yellow. It is miscible with water and with most common organic solvents. It also belongs to the class of dipolar aprotic solvents such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide. NMP is a solvent that is used widely in the manufacture and production of electronics, petrochemical products, polymers and other specialty chemicals. It has numerous industrial, commercial, and consumer applications.
Influence of COVID-19 Outbreak on N-Methyl Pyrrolidone Industry Development
The raging COVID-19 has left the global economic environment in depression. The impact of COVID-19 on the N-Methyl Pyrrolidone industry will involve all major links and all entities in the industry chain. The company's management efficiency has declined, commuting has been severely hindered, production plans have been severely hindered, network expansion has been delayed, marketing has been delayed, brand adjustments have been forced, market sales have declined, and company and employee revenue have declined. The impact on the N-Methyl Pyrrolidone industry depends on the prevention and control effects of COVID-19.
Affected by COVID-19, logistics speed slows down, and the supply of raw materials for N-Methyl Pyrrolidone will be tight. Production was stagnant, sales are blocked the company's inventory increased, and the production of related enterprises in the severely affected areas was greatly affected. The short-term epidemic has less impact on the supply of raw materials for enterprises, mainly consuming stock materials, and the long-term epidemic will cause incalculable losses. If the epidemic develops further and logistics is always unsatisfactory, small and medium-sized N-Methyl Pyrrolidone enterprises are likely to be shut down due to insufficient raw material supply, and even large enterprises will face the same problem.
Limitations
Propylene glycol dimethyl ether (DPGDME) is an environmentally friendly solvent with a very wide range of uses. It can replace NMP (N-methyl pyrrolidone) or NEP (N-ethyl-pyrrolidone) as a solvent for the preparation of polyurethane dispersants. DPGDME-based PU dispersants (PUD) are used in coatings that require low-toxic solvents, such as floor paints or leather finishing/coatings for automotive and aircraft interiors.
As the European Union is currently studying the banning and evaluation of various amine solvents, this product provides the same chemical characteristics and processability as the NMP solvent system. In the future, even if NMP is banned, it can be directly replaced.
N-methyl-pyrrolidone use is associated with health problems such as headache, stomach pain, vomiting, nausea, and stomach pain. N-methyl-pyrrolidone is thus on the Special Health Threat Drug List, and is banned for use in new processes in Europe. NMP absorbs quickly through the skin. Also, repeated overexposure over months or years to NMP and other solvents may also have long-lasting and probably irreversible effects on the nervous system. The symptoms of these long-term effects include fatigue, sleeplessness, impaired coordination, attention problems, loss of short-term memory and changes in personality such as depression, anxiety and irritability. Currently there are strict restrictions on its use in Europe and North America.
