The Asia-Pacific to Aid the Growth of the Global Market for Methanesulphonic Acid

The methanesulphonic acid industry is being influenced by the expanding industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. The large production volumes and lower manufacturing costs in regions like the Asia-Pacific, closely followed by Europe and North America, are driving the methanesulphonic acid industry forward.

The widespread use of methanesulphonic acid in the pharmaceutical industry is one of the major contributors to market growth. The growth is more prevalent in developing regions, owing to the less stringent environmental regulations. Moreover, rising globalisation and rapidly rising manufacturing capacities are expected to propel the global methanesulphonic acid industry forward.

Methanesulphonic Acid: Market Segmentation

Methanesulphonic acid or MsOH is a colourless liquid and the simplest of the alkyl sulphonic acids. It may be considered as an intermediate compound between sulphuric acid and methylsulphonylmethane. The acid is considered as an environment-friendly substitute to the commercially used electrolytes used in the plating process.

By application, the methanesulphonic acid industry can be divided into:

  • Electroplating
  • Medicine
  • Pesticide
  • Organic Synthesis
  • Others

The regional markets for the product include:

  • North America
