Methyl Mercaptan Market Analysis

Application (Fungicides and Pesticides, Intermediate, Catalyst, Fuel Additives, Animal Nutrition)

The fungicides and pesticides segment is predicted to account for 35% share of the global methyl mercaptan market by 2036. owing to the growing usage of pesticides. Pesticides are essential to agricultural output since they help manage a variety of pests and disease-carrying animals, including rats, mice, ticks, and mosquitoes, and manage illnesses, infestations of insects, and weeds. Around the world, pesticides are frequently used to promote plant growth and are also used to shield farmers from crop losses and decreased yields. Besides this, pesticides known as fungicides are used to restrict the growth of fungus or fungal spores to control fungal and fungal-like disorders, and play a part in keeping fruits, vegetables, and tubers safe during storage. This is expected to drive the demand for methyl mercaptan.

Methyl mercaptan is a gas that is used in the creation of pesticides, and the synthesis of fungicides, and insecticides. Methyl mercaptan is also used to make methionine a chemical that is used in animal feed, and is designed to be used in irrigation/chemigation lines (subterranean, surface drip, and micro irrigation systems) as a gopher repellant.

End-User (Chemical, Food, Feed, Mining)

The feed segment in the methyl mercaptan market is set to garner a notable share shortly. Methionine is primarily made from methyl mercaptan and is added to animal and poultry feed as a dietary supplement, and is an inherent component of several foods, such as cheeses and nuts, and is authorized for use as a food additive as well. In addition, available commercial chemical, methyl mercaptan has well-established uses in the mining sector and is employed in mining operations for communication as well.
