Methyl mercaptan or methanethiol, is a colorless, flammable, volatile organic compound with a distinct odor, that smells similar to rotten eggs or cabbage. It is found in coal tar and petroleum distillates and as emission from paper and pulp mills. It occurs naturally in some foods such as onions, radishes, asparagus, nuts, and cheese. Methyl mercaptan is naturally formed by the microflora metabolism of proteins in marine environments and human and animal gastrointestinal tracts. Methyl mercaptan is employed to manufacture methionine, pesticides, fungicides, plastics, and animal feed additives.
Market Dynamics
The global methyl mercaptan market is projected to grow at a significant pace during the forecast period. Booming demand for methionine, pesticides, fungicides, plastics, and animal feed additives will fuel demand for methyl mercaptan. Expanding population & industrialization and derived demand for food, meat, and petrochemical creates increased need for petrochemicals pesticides, fungicides, plastics and animal feed, and thus more methyl mercaptan. Viewing strong global demand, key players are expanding their production capacities. The Asia Pacific is the most opportunistic market for methyl mercaptan. Asian manufacturers are investing heavily in methyl mercaptan production to meet local and overseas demand. However, the toxic nature and unstable supply and demand are likely to hamper market growth.
