-Methyl Pyrrolidone Market: Introduction
·
N-methyl pyrrolidone is an organic compound, which is produced
industrially by ester-to-amide conversion. It consists of 5 membered lactam and
is a colorless liquid that is miscible with water and with most common organic
solvents.
·
It has a wide range of applications, as it offers high solvency,
high boiling point, low freezing point, and ease of handling
·
N-methyl pyrrolidone is widely used as a solvent in the
production of conformal coatings such as epoxy and polyurethane coatings in
printed circuit boards (PCBs). It is also used for degreasing, cleaning, and as
photoresist stripper.
Key Drivers and Restraints of N-Methyl Pyrrolidone Market
·
Demand for N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone is expected to increase
at a significant pace during the forecast period due to the rise in usage in
various industries such as petrochemicals, electronics, paints & coatings,
agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals
·
Expansion of the consumer electronics industry is expected to
fuel the demand for N-Methyl pyrrolidone in order to meet the electronics
production requirement across the globe. However, several regulatory bodies
across the world, especially in North America and Europe, continue to label
N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone as a reproductive, developmental toxin. This is
anticipated to remain a long-term challenge for the global
N-methyl pyrrolidone market.
N-Methyl Pyrrolidone Market: Application Segment
·
Based on application, the N-methyl pyrrolidone market can be
divided into petrochemicals, electronics, paints & coatings, agrochemicals,
pharmaceuticals, and others
·
The electronics industry segment dominates the N-methyl
pyrrolidone market
·
The usage of n-methyl pyrrolidone in the electronics industry is
increasing owing to the rise in production of lithium-ion batteries for
electric vehicles, semiconductor device fabrication, and wire enamel coating.
It is also used for the removal of excess burr at the time of production of
various electronic parts.

COVID-19 Impact on Global N-Methyl Pyrrolidone Market
·
On January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations
Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak a public health emergency of
international concern. Originating in China, the virus has spread to at least
214 countries and territories around the world.
·
Several governments and private sector businesses are operating
at a limited capacity or have ceased operations completely due to recent events
surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic
·
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to disturbance in
the supply chain due to the global lockdown in several countries. Also, the
spread of coronavirus has led to a decrease in demand for chemical
intermediates due to uncertainty in the global economy and capital markets.
·
Oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, and electronics industries,
which are the major consumers of n-methyl pyrrolidone, have been severely
impacted by the pandemic. The global oil demand shrank by around 15 to 20
million barrels per day (mbpd) due to extensive lockdown in oil-consuming economies.

Asia Pacific to Hold Leading Share of Global N-Methyl
Pyrrolidone Market
·
In terms of region, the N-methyl pyrrolidone market can be
divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle
East & Africa
·
Asia Pacific is expected to hold major share of the global
N-methyl pyrrolidone market, followed by North America and Europe, during the
forecast period owing to the increase in lithium-ion battery production and
growth of the 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 these products. This is
estimated to drive the demand for N-Methyl pyrrolidone 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 N-Methyl pyrrolidone in electronics applications.
However, they are also striving to come up with substitute for N-Methyl
Pyrrolidone to reduce the cost involved in using N-Methyl pyrrolidone in the
lithium-ion battery production.
·
N-Methyl pyrrolidone-based drugs are used in anti-tumor
treatments. Hence, demand for N-methyl pyrrolidone is rising in medicines for
cancer treatment. Growth of the pharmaceutical industry in Asia Pacific and
South America is expected to create opportunities for N-Methyl pyrrolidone
manufacturers during the forecast period.
