Global 2-Mercaptoethanol Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025
Description
Research Summary
2-Mercaptoethanol is a small organic compound with a thiol group (-SH) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a two-carbon ethyl chain. It is commonly used as a reducing agent in biochemical and industrial applications, particularly in protein chemistry, where it helps to break disulfide bonds in proteins, aiding in protein denaturation and analysis. 2-Mercaptoethanol is also used in cell culture media to protect cells from oxidative damage, as it can scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS). Its strong odor and high reactivity with metals and other compounds make it valuable in various laboratory settings, including RNA/DNA extraction, enzyme assays, and as a stabilizer in chemical reactions. Additionally, it is employed in the manufacturing of certain chemicals and polymers, as well as in the production of fragrances and cosmetics.
According to DIResearch's in-depth investigation and research, the global 2-Mercaptoethanol market size was valued at XX Million USD in 2024 and is projected to reach XX Million USD by 2032, with a CAGR of XX% (2025-2032). Notably, the China market has changed rapidly in the past few years. By 2024, China's market size is expected to be XX Million USD, representing approximately XX% of the global market share.
