Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) – Key Drivers and Opportunities
Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) is a versatile solvent used in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, biotechnology, and paint formulations. Its key driver is its ability to dissolve a wide variety of compounds, including both organic and inorganic substances, making it a valuable solvent in pharmaceutical drug formulations and chemical reactions. DMSO's penetration properties also make it a preferred choice in topical drug delivery, particularly in treating conditions like arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders.
The expansion of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries is a major growth driver for DMSO. Its use in drug solubility, transdermal delivery systems, and cryopreservation of biological samples has become indispensable. As the demand for advanced biopharmaceuticals and biologics increases, DMSO’s role in formulations is expected to grow.
In addition to pharmaceuticals, DMSO’s usage in the chemical industry is expanding due to its ability to act as a reactant in chemical syntheses. The global push towards sustainable manufacturing and green chemistry also presents an opportunity for DMSO, which is considered an environmentally friendly solvent with lower toxicity compared to many traditional solvents.
The growing trend toward personal care and cosmetic products is another opportunity for DMSO, as it is used as an ingredient in various anti-aging and skin care products, where its properties of increasing the permeability of the skin are highly valued. As the demand for natural and effective skincare products increases, DMSO’s applications in this sector are expected to grow significantly.
