Global Dimethylformamide (DMF) Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Dimethylformamide (DMF) market size is expected to reach $ 1178 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 3.0% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Dimethylformamide is a high-boiling polar aprotic solvent predominantly produced via the single-step reaction of carbon monoxide with dimethylamine. Its strong solvency for polymers and low-water reaction environment make it indispensable for polyurethane resin processing and synthetic leather, acrylic fiber wet spinning, and fine-chemical synthesis. In China producers universally adopt the CO single-step route, reflecting technical maturity and integration benefits along coal-chem chains. On the demand side, slurry/coating for synthetic leather accounts for the largest share of usage, followed by electronics, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food additives, and PI film, consistent with the solvent’s dual role in polymer processing and synthesis steps.
On the supply side, nearly all units use the CO single-step process. The roster of active and expanding producers includes Hualu Hengsheng, Luxi Chemical, Anyang Jiutian, Shaanxi Yanchang Xinghua, Shanxi JCOF Riyue, Jiujiang Xinlianxin, Yangzi-BASF, Henan Junhua, Anhui Jinhe, Guang’an Qianyuan, Henan Ruibo, Guizhou Tianfu, and Guangxi Xintian, among others. Within this set, Hualu Hengsheng commissioned a 0.15 Mt/a DMF unit at Jingzhou in October 2023, lifting its total DMF capacity to ~0.48 Mt/a —evidence of high concentration that shapes global availability and pricing.
In the current market, global production is around 1.22 million tons, with an average selling price near 740 USD/t EXW. Top suppliers collectively command a low-to-mid-40% share of global revenue by value, as integrated Chinese majors leverage scale while multinationals capture high-spec niches. Key constraints include hazardous-chemical permitting, environmental compliance for amines and CO units, and qualification cycles for pharma/electronics buyers; countervailing drivers include process integration, solvent substitution dynamics, and steady growth in Asian consumer goods and technical textiles.
