Global N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP) Market by Application (Agrochemicals, Paints & Coatings, Oil & gas [Butadiene Recovery, BTX Extraction], Pharmaceuticals [Solvent, Penetration Enhancer], Electronics) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Industry Insights

The global N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NMP) Market size was estimated at USD 1.07 billion in 2015 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period, primarily owing to the rising demand from key application segments, such as oil & gas (petrochemical), pharmaceuticals and electronics, among others. This is due to the growth of the overall petrochemical sector.

The spending on downstream asset maintenance will grow by 7% between 2012 and 2016, reaching USD 336 billion. This can be attributed both to greenfield expansion and brownfield projects. This spending is more than 60% in Asia Pacific and North America. This huge growth in the petrochemical sector will undoubtedly increase the demand for NMP during the forecast period.

U.S. N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone market revenue, by application, 2013 - 2025 (USD Million)

Oil & Gas refers to the petrochemical and downstream industries (refining processes) that primarily consume NMP. Although the oil and gas market isn't performing well due to high crude prices and piled up inventories, downstream operations will likely increase in the next few years. NMP is being increasingly used to re-refine the lubricating oils. It also improves oil performance and viscosity index.

It also helps improve oil efficiency and solvent extraction. Excessive use poses several risks to the human health. These factors have led to certain regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, ECHA, imposing restrictions on certain products' usage above certain limits.

California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment identified methyl-pyrrolidone under Proposition 65 as a reproductive toxins and set maximum allowable doses (MADLs for NMP) of 17,000?g/day in dermal contact and 3200?g/day inhalation exposures.

Asia has become a hub with emerging economies like India and China leading the way. The region is seeing new refinery projects and expansion of existing ones, which are fueling the growth of the refinery industry.

Application Insights

NMP market is segmented into pharmaceuticals, oil & gas and electronics. The oil & Gas market can be further divided into butadiene extraction, BTX extraction, lube oils purification. The pharmaceutical market is further divided into two segments, solvent and penetration enhancer. The electronic segment can be divided into photoresist stripper and solvent.

The low oil prices have benefited the refining industry and the petrochemicals market is booming. NMP is used in many applications, including butadiene extraction, BTX extraction and lube oil purification. These industries will provide a direct growth advantage for this industry.

NMP can also be used in electronics for cleaning and degreasing, as well as to remove photoresists. NMP can also be used in the production of conformal coats (epoxy or polyurethane) in printed circuit boards.

Electronic inputs to automobiles are growing rapidly in the automotive industry. The majority of manufacturing activities are done in Asia. This contributes to overall industry growth through infrastructure support and the necessary equipment.

Regional Insights

NMP markets in Europe and Asia Pacific have significant potential to grow over the next few years. This is primarily due to technological advances, industrial growth, economic expansion, and low production costs in countries like Brazil, China, Japan and Japan. In recent years, these countries have seen significant growth in the end-user industries, such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and oil & Gas (petrochemical).

Global N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone, market share, by region, 2015 (%)

Asia Pacific's industry is experiencing moderate growth. This is mainly due to the changing political and financial dynamics in the major countries such as China and India. These countries' growth in electronics and pharmaceuticals will lead to a greater European market. The Electronic Industries Association of India estimates that the market for electronic products and systems in India will reach USD 400 billion by 2020.
