Methyl Diethanolamine Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (MDEA 95%, MDEA 97%, MDEA 99%, Others), By Application (Oil & Gas, Textile, Medical, Paints & Coatings, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Methyldiethanolamine is produced using methylamine and ethylene oxide ethoxylation. It is commonly used for the treatment of amine gas and for gas sweetening. Methyldiethanolamine reacts easily with hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide as a diluted solution, in order to eliminate hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide formed during the processing stage from natural gas and crude oil. It can be combined with water, benzene and alcohol. In the petrochemical industry, methyldiethanolamine is generally used to treat amine gas, also known as gas sweeter or acid gas removal, to remove hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide from fuels.

The rising demand for methyldiethanolamine in the oil & gas industry is likely to drive the market. The increasing adoption of natural gas is generally due to its economic benefits and energy efficiency. The enforcement of emissions regulations for air pollution by various government authorities is estimated to fuel the method of gas treatment for CO₂ emissions. This in turn, is expected to drive the market for methyldiethanolamine in natural gas treatment for the absorption of CO₂ and H₂S gases. However, the growing adoption of alternatives is likely to hinder the demand for methyldiethanolamine.
