Dimethyl Sulphate Price Trend for the First Half of 2023
Asia
The dimethyl sulphate price trend in the first quarter was affected by the fall in demand from pesticides, dyes, and other downstream industries. The purchasing appetite of the buyers in Asian as well as European nations also depleted in the first quarter of 2023. In the second quarter, the availability of cheap imports, a fall in energy and freight charges, and low demand from the downstream industries hampered the growth of dimethyl sulfate prices. The price trend of dimethyl sulfate eventually fell with the weak market sentiments of the Asia Pacific market.
Europe
In the first quarter, the price trend of dimethyl sulfate fell with the fall in the procurement rates from the downstream industries and the weak movement of the overall European market. In the second quarter also, the price trend of dimethyl sulfate was affected by the soaring rates of inflation along with declining costs of feedstock materials and crude oil. Thus, the sliding market sentiments of the region affected the price trend of dimethyl sulfate negatively.
North America
The slow movement of the downstream industries and low consumption of downstream industries, such as dyes, pesticides, surfactants, etc., resulted in weak demand from both domestic and international sectors that affected the price trend of dimethyl sulfate adversely in the first quarter. In addition to this, the second quarter also suffered from the influx of cheap imports from Asian countries and a low number of fresh orders from the downstream industries. This declined interest of buyers caused the level of inventories to rise, and thus, the price trend of dimethyl sulfate eventually faced southwards.

About
Dimethyl sulphate possesses high toxicity and reactivity and used to be widely employed as a methylating agent in chemical synthesis. However, due to its extreme toxicity and carcinogenic properties, its industrial usage has decreased significantly. Pharmaceuticals, dyes, and laboratory research now prefer safer alternatives over dimethyl sulfate.
