Global Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) Market 2026 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2032
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) market size was valued at US$ 448 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 595 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.2% during review period.
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a polar, aprotic solvent known for its exceptional ability to dissolve both polar and non-polar compounds, making it widely applicable across multiple industries. It is a colorless, odorless liquid with high thermal and chemical stability, and it exhibits low toxicity compared to other industrial solvents. DMSO is also miscible with water and most organic liquids, enhancing its versatility in formulations and reactions. One of its distinguishing characteristics is its capacity to penetrate biological membranes, which is why it has niche applications in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. In 2024, global production reached approximately 87,023 tons, with an average global market price of around US$4,825 per ton. The combination of high solvency power, biodegradability, and compatibility with diverse materials makes DMSO an essential solvent in pharmaceuticals, electronics, agrochemicals, and polymer processing.
From a market perspective, the growth of DMSO demand is strongly influenced by its role in high-value applications. In the pharmaceutical sector, it is used as a reaction medium, cryoprotectant for cell preservation, and carrier for drug delivery, benefiting from ongoing research in biologics and regenerative medicine. In the electronics industry, DMSO serves as a cleaning and processing solvent for precision components, as well as in the production of high-performance polymers and electronic-grade materials. The agrochemical industry also leverages its solvency properties for pesticide formulation, enabling more efficient active ingredient dispersion. The global DMSO market is also witnessing rising interest from the coatings and adhesives sector, where it aids in dissolving high-molecular-weight resins and enhancing film formation. In recent years, the push for greener, less toxic solvents has further strengthened DMSO’s position, given its relatively favorable safety and environmental profile compared to traditional chlorinated solvents.
Looking ahead, the DMSO market is expected to experience steady growth driven by innovation in life sciences, the expansion of semiconductor manufacturing, and the adoption of environmentally conscious industrial practices. Emerging applications in battery electrolytes and advanced composite manufacturing are anticipated to create new demand streams. However, market expansion is moderated by the relatively high production cost of DMSO, which requires sulfur-based feedstocks and sophisticated manufacturing processes. Asia-Pacific, particularly China, is expected to remain the largest producer and consumer due to rapid industrialization, increasing pharmaceutical output, and strong electronics manufacturing capacity. Meanwhile, North America and Europe will continue to prioritize high-purity grades for medical, biotechnological, and specialty chemical applications. Overall, the combination of broad application potential, ongoing material science advancements, and regulatory trends favoring safer solvents will underpin the long-term expansion of the global DMSO market.
