ジメチルエーテルの世界市場規模は、2024年に72億2,000万米ドルとなりました。今後、IMARC Groupは、同市場が2033年までに157億3,000万米ドルに達し、2025年から2033年にかけて8.09%のCAGRを示すと予測しています。現在、アジア太平洋地域が市場を独占しており、2024年の市場シェアは43.2%を超えます。様々な分野でのエアゾール推進剤需要の増加、炭素排出を削減するためのクリーンなエネルギー源と燃料への注目の高まり、再生可能な原料の幅広い利用可能性などが、市場を推進している主な要因の一部です。現在、製造業の急速な拡大により、アジア太平洋地域が世界市場を独占しています。

ジメチルエーテル（DME）市場は、クリーンな代替エネルギーに対する需要の増加、排出規制の強化、持続可能な生産技術の進歩により拡大しています。大気汚染やカーボンフットプリントに対する懸念が高まるにつれ、産業界は、特に輸送、発電、暖房用途において、ディーゼル代替やLPG混合成分としてDMEにシフトしています。エアロゾル推進剤、冷媒、化学原料におけるDMEの役割は、ジメチルエーテル市場の需要をさらに強化しています。廃棄物バイオマスや回収炭素源からの再生可能DME生産への投資は、持続可能性の目標に合致しており、より広範な採用を促進しています。しかし、インフラの制約とコスト集約的な生産が課題となっており、効率と拡張性を向上させるための技術革新が進行中です。

米国のDME市場は、低炭素燃料の採用とエネルギーの多様化に注力する中で進展しています。政府の優遇措置により、特に輸送、工業用暖房、電力用途で再生可能なDMEプロジェクトが奨励され、ジメチルエーテル市場の成長を後押ししています。例えば、2025年1月、米国エネルギー省は、テキサス州とルイジアナ州の新しいREDIコンソーシアムに9つの組織が選ばれたと発表しました。このコンソーシアムは、地域社会に能力構築と技術支援を提供し、クリーンエネルギー投資と炭素削減プロジェクトからの利益を最大化することを目的としています。ディーゼルエンジンの排出ガスを削減し、既存のLPGインフラと統合できるこの燃料は、クリーン燃焼技術にとって魅力的なソリューションです。大規模生産はまだ発展途上だが、パイロット・プロジェクト、商業プラント、燃料標準化への取り組みへの投資が拡大しており、市場準備が加速しています。さらに、継続的な政策支援と民間セクターの取り組みが、将来の拡大と長期的な採用を形成することになります。

ジメチルエーテル市場動向：

よりクリーンなエネルギー源と燃料への注目の高まり

世界中のさまざまな産業で、よりクリーンなエネルギー源や燃料を好む傾向が高まっていることが、ジメチルエーテル市場規模の拡大に寄与しています。これに伴い、環境の持続可能性を維持することへの注目も高まっています。最近の調査によると、回答者の78%は持続可能性が環境にとって非常に重要であると考えており、55%は持続可能なブランドの製品にプレミアムを支払うことを望んでいます。DMEは、従来の化石燃料に比べて二酸化炭素排出量が少ないため、有力な代替燃料となります。DMEは、燃焼時の温室効果ガス（GHG）排出量が少なく、大気環境の改善と環境負荷の低減に貢献します。これに加えて、複数の産業と消費者が環境に優しい代替燃料を好むようになっており、DME市場の見通しは良好です。さらに、各国の行政機関は、持続可能性の目標に沿うためにDMEを急速に採用しています。

様々な分野でのエアゾール推進剤需要の増加

パーソナルケアおよび化粧品業界におけるエアゾール推進剤の採用の増加が、市場の成長を後押ししています。さらに、DMEが推進剤として一般的に使用されているため、消臭剤、ヘアスプレー、泡洗浄剤など、さまざまなエアゾール製品を好む人が増えています。DMEは、無臭・無着色であることに加え、きめ細かく安定したスプレーを作るのに有効であるため、こうした用途に好まれています。これとは別に、個人の衛生維持に対する意識の高まりにより、様々なパーソナルケア製品に対する需要が高まっていることも、市場の成長を支えています。IMARC Groupによると、世界の美容・パーソナルケア製品市場は2024年に5,295億米ドルに達し、2025年から2033年にかけてCAGR 4.2％で成長すると予想されています。さらに、製薬業界や食品業界も特定の製品の推進剤としてDMEを採用しており、最終用途の多様化と消費者主導の用途という重要なジメチルエーテル市場動向をさらに強化しています。

再生可能原料の幅広い利用可能性

世界中で再生可能な原料が広く入手可能であることが、市場の成長を強化しています。さらに、バイオマス、農業廃棄物、さらには都市固形廃棄物は、有限な化石燃料資源への依存を減らすのに役立つ様々なプロセスを通じてDMEに変換することができます。これに加えて、様々な産業が環境フットプリントの削減とエネルギー源の多様化に役立つソリューションを求めています。再生可能な原料からDMEを生産することは、環境の持続可能性を維持するという人気と一致します。例えば、国際エネルギー機関（IEA）によると、熱、電力、輸送産業における世界の再生可能エネルギー消費量は、2024年から2030年にかけて約60％増加すると予測されています。これに伴い、再生可能原料の使用は、従来の化石燃料によく見られる価格変動の影響を受けにくいため、ある程度のエネルギー安全保障も提供します。このような要因から、産業・エネルギーセクター全体で低炭素で再生可能な代替燃料に対する需要が高まり、ジメチルエーテル市場規模にプラスの影響を与えると予想されます。

The Latin America dimethyl ether (DME) market significantly benefits from the region's increasing industrialization and the need for cleaner, alternative fuels. For instance, between May and June 2024, industrial manufacturing in Brazil recorded a growth of 4.1%. Moreover, the role of DME in reducing dependency on imported fossil fuels is becoming vital for energy security in Latin America. As countries such as Brazil invest in renewable energy sources and seek alternatives to traditional petroleum products, DME presents an appealing solution due to its versatility and environmental benefits. As per the International Energy Agency (IEA), renewable energy sources accounted for 87.5% of power generation in Brazil in 2022. Besides this, the market also benefits from the region's significant biomass resources, allowing for cost-effective and sustainable DME production.

Middle East and Africa Dimethyl Ether Market Analysis

The Middle East and Africa dimethyl ether (DME) market is being increasingly propelled by a rising focus on alternative and cleaner energy solutions, the region's growing industrial and transportation needs, and the focus on environmental sustainability. Several Middle Eastern countries are investing in renewable energy and clean technologies to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, boosting DME adoption. According to a report published by the IMARC Group, the Middle East renewable energy market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.53% during 2024-2032. Additionally, as infrastructure development improves and the region embraces technological advancements in DME production, such as using waste and biomass feedstocks, DME is becoming more accessible and cost-competitive. The increasing demand for DME in the petrochemical and aerosol industries further fuels market growth.

Competitive Landscape:

The global dimethyl ether (DME) market is highly competitive, with key players focusing on capacity expansions, technological advancements, and sustainable production. Market dominance is driven by large-scale production capabilities and well-established supply chains. Additionally, the rising demand for clean fuel alternatives is accelerating investments in bio-based DME, with several companies pioneering renewable options. For instance, in December 2023, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company (MGC) announced that it had received ISCC PLUS certification for bio-methanol and dimethyl ether (DME) produced at its Niigata Plant. However, Asian manufacturers maintain a lead in cost-efficient production, while North America and Europe prioritize regulatory compliance and sustainability. Furthermore, strategic collaborations, including joint ventures and research partnerships, are playing a critical role in shaping market growth. In conclusion, competition continues to intensify as industries seek low-emission fuel solutions to meet global environmental targets.
