Mercaptan Market Report Scope & Overview:

The Mercaptan Market Size was valued at USD 1.79 billion in 2022, and expected to reach USD 2.72 billion by 2030, and grow at a CAGR of 5.4% over the forecast period 2023-2030.

The group of organic compounds known as "mercaptans" consists of an aryl or alkyl group and a thiol group. The gas mecaptan, also known as methanethiol, is odourless but has a strong odour that has been compared to that of rotten cabbage or musty socks. It is frequently added to colourless, odourless natural gas in order to make it more visible. It is an organic material composed of sulphur, hydrogen, and carbon. It occurs naturally as a waste product of regular metabolism in all living things, including the human body. One of the compounds that causes flatulence and the unpleasant smell of poor breath.

Market Dynamics:

Drivers:

  • Mercaptan-based pesticides and fungicide intermediate sales are increasing as a result of the expanding agrochemicals market

Restraints:

  • Growing Environmental and Health Concerns

Opportunity:

  • Increasing the use of mercaptan in the manufacture of plastics will open up profitable opportunities

Challenge:

  • Changing prices for raw materials

Impact of COVID-19:

The outbreak has had a considerable influence on global manufacturing processes, trade, and supply chains for chemicals and minerals. Due to market participants' need to close production facilities or run them at less than optimal production levels in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus COVID-19, mecaptan output fell during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mercaptan manufacturing has also been hampered by the scarcity of raw materials due to supply disruptions brought on by border and trade restrictions. However, some significant market participants have kept running their manufacturing plants. Additionally, the low demand from the end-use sectors and the falling costs of raw materials have led to surplus stockpiles and decreased production.

Hydrogen sulphide, ethylene, propene, methanol, and hydrogen sulphide are the main raw materials utilised to make mercaptan. The raw material supply was severely impacted by the outbreak. The global COVID crisis, which had an impact on both the price margins of raw materials and finished goods, severely hurt the chemical industry. Thus, the outbreak has caused a disruption in the supply-demand for raw materials, which has had a significant impact on the manufacturing of chemicals.

A little but valuable segment of the worldwide chemical business, which is reliant on dependable supply and is interconnected, is where Mercaptan is found.

Regional Analysis:

By value and volume, the market in the Asia-Pacific region held the biggest share in 2020, followed by the markets in North America and Europe. Manufacturers can expand in the Asia-Pacific market, which is expected to grow at the greatest CAGR. Increased government spending, increased manufacturing capacity, cooperation among important regional companies, and high demand from end-use sectors are the main causes of this rise. Another factor contributing to the expansion of mercaptan in the nation was the fact that China has emerged as one of the world's top producers and users of agrochemicals.

The market in North America was the second-largest. The expanding chemical sector in the US is primarily responsible for the expansion of the mercaptan market in North America. Due to their rising use for the synthesis of specialised chemicals and leakage identification, the chemical industries will consume the most mercaptan in North America. Additionally, many multinational corporations have plans to develop new facilities and grow in the area. The development of the mercaptan industry and technological improvements are primarily responsible for Europe's progress.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
