2024年,日本二甲醚市场规模达4.27亿美元。展望未来, IMARC Group预计到2033年,市场规模将达到8.629亿美元,2025-2033年期间的复合年增长率(CAGR)为8.13%。受二甲醚作为清洁替代燃料在交通运输中的应用以及二甲醚(DME)在化学工业应用的不断扩展的推动,日本二甲醚市场正在经历显着增长。
二甲醚(DME)作为交通运输中的清洁替代燃料
在日本,交通运输领域明显倾向使用二甲醚 (DME) 作为清洁替代燃料。这一趋势主要源自于日本致力于减少温室气体排放并在 2050 年前实现碳中和。 DME 的特性,包括高十六烷值和无烟燃烧,使其成为传统柴油的有吸引力的替代品。例如,2024 年 6 月,MGC 开始在其新舄工厂利用沼气生产日本首批生物甲醇,获得了 ISCC PLUS 认证,并透过可持续的本地生物质利用来支持新舄的碳中和目标。日本政府已采取措施支持将 DME 整合到现有燃料系统中的研发项目。透过与政府机构、研究机构和私人公司合作,已从技术角度解决了与 DME 利用相关的挑战,包括其储存和配送物流、与引擎的兼容性以及燃料处理特性。目前正在进行试点项目,评估使用二甲醚(DME)驱动的公共交通车辆(例如公车和卡车)的可行性,这将有助于减少城市空气污染和对进口化石燃料的依赖。同时,日本汽车产业正在研究开发相容二甲醚(DME)的引擎和改造技术,以作为常规燃料的过渡工具。这些合作努力表明,日本製定了一项策略,旨在扩大其能源基础,并透过采用二甲醚(DME)来促进永续的交通解决方案。
二甲醚在化学工业的应用扩展
日本化学工业日益认识到二甲醚 (DME) 作为多功能化学原料的潜力。 DME 是生产各种高价值化学品的中间体,包括硫酸二甲酯、乙酸和烯烃,而这些化学品是许多工业製程中不可或缺的一部分。为了追求更永续、更有效率的化学生产方法,日本化学品製造商正在探索 DME 在合成高价值产品的应用。例如,出光兴产株式会社和三菱瓦斯化学株式会社将于 2024 年 11 月在日本建立一个电甲醇和生物甲醇供应系统,以支持环保船用燃料并减少温室气体排放。此外,DME 的使用符合日本的环境目标,因为它为减少碳排放和提高化学製造的能源效率提供了途径。研究项目正致力于优化 DME 转化的催化工艺,以最大限度地提高产量并最大限度地降低能耗。学术界和产业界之间的战略合作伙伴关係正在促进该领域的创新,旨在使日本成为永续化学生产技术的领导者。二甲醚在化学领域的应用不断扩大,反映了将环保原料融入工业运作的更广泛趋势,有助于日本实现永续发展和技术进步的总体目标。

The Japan dimethyl ether market size reached USD 427.0 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 862.9 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.13% during 2025-2033. The market is witnessing significant growth, driven by the adoption of dimethyl ether as a clean alternative fuel in transportation and expansion of DME applications in the chemical industry.
Adoption of Dimethyl Ether (DME) as a Clean Alternative Fuel in Transportation
In Japan, there is a discernible shift towards the adoption of dimethyl ether (DME) as a clean alternative fuel within the transportation sector. This movement is primarily driven by Japan's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. DME's properties, including its high cetane number and soot-free combustion, position it as an attractive substitute for conventional diesel fuel. For instance, in June 2024, MGC began producing Japan's first bio-methanol from digester gas at its Niigata Plant, achieving ISCC PLUS certification and supporting Niigata's carbon-neutral goals through sustainable local biomass use. The Japanese government has taken steps to support research and development projects to integrate DME into the existing fuel systems. Working with governmental agencies, research bodies, and private companies, the challenges associated with the utilization of DME, including its storage and distribution logistics, compatibility with engines, and fuel handling features, have been addressed on technical grounds. Pilot programs are ongoing to evaluate the feasibility of DME-powered public transport vehicles, such as buses and trucks, which, in turn, would help reduce urban air pollution and dependability on imported fossil fuels. Meanwhile, Japan's automotive industry is looking into the development of DME-compatible engines and retrofit technologies for use as transition tools from regular fuels. These cooperative efforts thus show that Japan has a strategy for broadening its energy base and, in so doing, fostering sustainable transport solutions through the adoption of DME.
Expansion of DME Applications in the Chemical Industry
The Japanese chemical industry is increasingly recognizing the potential of dimethyl ether (DME) as a versatile chemical feedstock. DME serves as an intermediate in the production of various valuable chemicals, including dimethyl sulfate, acetic acid, and olefins, which are integral to numerous industrial processes. The drive towards more sustainable and efficient chemical production methods has led Japanese chemical manufacturers to explore DME's applications in synthesizing high-value products. For instance, in November 2024, Idemitsu Kosan and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical will build an e-methanol and biomethanol supply system in Japan by 2026 to support eco-friendly marine fuel and cut greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the utilization of DME aligns with Japan's environmental objectives by offering pathways to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy efficiency in chemical manufacturing. Research initiatives are focusing on optimizing catalytic processes for DME conversion to maximize yield and minimize energy consumption. Strategic partnerships between academia and industry are fostering innovation in this domain, aiming to position Japan as a leader in sustainable chemical production technologies. The expansion of DME applications within the chemical sector reflects a broader trend of integrating environmentally friendly feedstocks into industrial operations, thereby contributing to Japan's overarching goals of sustainability and technological advancement.
