Market Overview:
The global thiochemical market projection is bound to reach a value of USD 3,423.3 million by the end of 2024, asserts Market Research Future (MRFR) in its extensive report. The market is set to grow steadily at 3.75% CAGR during the forecast period (2018-2024). The market is growing on the back of elevating demand in animal nutrition and oil & gas industry. Increasing demand for oil and gas is also anticipated to drive the market growth in the coming years. Furthermore, escalating demand for thiochemicals in food, agrochemicals, plastic and chemicals industry will boost the demand over the forecast period.
Thiochemicals finds major application in poultry, in the form of methyl mercaptan, which is used in the production of methionine. Methionine is primarily used as a component in animal nutrition feeds for poultry animals. Hence, the growing demand for poultry meat and leanings of consumers towards a healthier lifestyle are factors estimated to drive the thiochemicals market. In addition to this, a few thiochemicals namely thioglycolates and thiolactates are used as active ingredients in the cosmetic industry for hair perms and hair straighteners.
On the flip side, the volatility in the price of raw materials can hamper the global market growth during the forecast period. But keeping in mind the major applications in diverse industries and various researches giving way to new applications, it is safe to say that the global market shows abundant promise in the coming years.
