2024年,日本二甲醚市場規模達4.27億美元。展望未來, IMARC Group預計到2033年,市場規模將達到8.629億美元,2025-2033年期間的複合年成長率(CAGR)為8.13%。受二甲醚作為清潔替代燃料在交通運輸中的應用以及二甲醚(DME)在化學工業應用的不斷擴展的推動,日本二甲醚市場正在經歷顯著成長。
二甲醚(DME)作為交通運輸中的清潔替代燃料
在日本,交通運輸領域明顯傾向使用二甲醚 (DME) 作為清潔替代燃料。這一趨勢主要源自於日本致力於減少溫室氣體排放並在 2050 年前實現碳中和。 DME 的特性,包括高十六烷值和無菸燃燒,使其成為傳統柴油的有吸引力的替代品。例如,2024 年 6 月,MGC 開始在其新潟工廠利用沼氣生產日本首批生物甲醇,獲得了 ISCC PLUS 認證,並透過永續的本地生質能利用來支持新潟的碳中和目標。日本政府已採取措施支持將 DME 整合到現有燃料系統中的研發項目。透過與政府機構、研究機構和私人公司合作,已從技術角度解決了與 DME 利用相關的挑戰,包括其儲存和配送物流、與引擎的兼容性以及燃料處理特性。目前正在進行試點項目,評估使用二甲醚(DME)驅動的公共交通車輛(例如公車和卡車)的可行性,這將有助於減少城市空氣污染和對進口化石燃料的依賴。同時,日本汽車產業正在研究開發相容二甲醚(DME)的引擎和改造技術,以作為常規燃料的過渡工具。這些合作努力表明,日本製定了一項策略,旨在擴大其能源基礎,並透過採用二甲醚(DME)來促進永續的交通解決方案。
二甲醚在化學工業的應用擴展
日本化學工業日益認知到二甲醚 (DME) 作為多功能化學原料的潛力。 DME 是生產各種高價值化學品的中間體,包括硫酸二甲酯、乙酸和烯烴,而這些化學品是許多工業製程中不可或缺的一部分。為了追求更永續、更有效率的化學生產方法,日本化學品製造商正在探索 DME 在合成高價值產品的應用。例如,出光興產株式會社和三菱瓦斯化學株式會社將於 2024 年 11 月在日本建立一個電甲醇和生物甲醇供應系統,以支持環保船用燃料並減少溫室氣體排放。此外,DME 的使用符合日本的環境目標,因為它為減少碳排放和提高化學製造的能源效率提供了途徑。研究項目正致力於最佳化 DME 轉化的催化工藝,以最大限度地提高產量並最大限度地降低能耗。學術界和產業界之間的戰略合作夥伴關係正在促進該領域的創新,旨在使日本成為永續化學生產技術的領導者。二甲醚在化學領域的應用不斷擴大,反映了將環保原料融入工業運作的更廣泛趨勢,有助於日本實現永續發展和技術進步的總體目標。

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.
