NMP (N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone) Market
Asia Pacific is projected to remain the largest market for NMP. This market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increasing lithium-ion battery production and growing pharmaceutical industry in the region. China, South Korea, and India are estimated to experience high investments in the lithium-ion battery production to leverage the increasing domestic demand. Pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries in China and India are increasing their production capacities to meet the rising local demand for respective products. These factors are estimated to drive the demand for NMP in the region during the forecast period.
Several lithium-ion battery manufacturers across the globe are increasing their production capacities to meet its rising demand, thereby fueling the demand for NMP in the electronics applications. However, they are also searching for a substitute for NMP to reduce the cost involved in using NMP in the lithium-ion battery production.
NMP-based drugs are used in anti-tumor treatments and hence, they are experiencing a surge in demand for use in medicines for cancer treatment. The growing pharmaceutical industry in APAC and South America is expected to create opportunities for NMP manufacturers in the respective markets during the forecast period.
Ashland (US), BASF (Germany), Eastman (US), Lyondellbasell (US), Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (Japan), and Shandong Qingyun Changxin Chemical Science-Tech Co., Ltd. (China) are some of the companies operating in the NMP market.
