Dimethyl Ether Market Segmentation:

Raw Materials Segment Analysis

The fossil fuel segment will hold the largest dimethyl ether market share as it is suitable for direct utilization in conventional internal combustion engines (ICs) without requiring substantial alterations. Moreover, the increasing exports of internal combustion piston engines are expected to further augment the segment growth by the end of 2035. OEC reported that the U.S. exported internal combustion piston engines worth USD 8.39 billion in 2022 of an overall trade of USD 45.4 billion.

Application Segment Analysis

The LPG blending segment in dimethyl ether (DME) market is anticipated to have the highest market share in the forecast year. This can be found in the increased usage of dimethyl ether with LPG to improve combustion and reduce the emission of hazardous gases. Growing research and development for blending ratio is considered to be the major factor driving the growth of this segment.  To reduce hazardous emissions, enhance combustion, and limit the dependency on LPG, dimethyl ether is combined with LPG. For instance, around 15-25% of dimethyl ether is being used with higher ratio blends.
