Dimethyl ether (DME) is an organic compound with molecular formulae CH3OCH3 and a clean burning hydrocarbon fuel with no carbon-carbon bond. It is the simplest ether and is a gas in normal state. It is colorless and non poisonous if inhaled by humans. DME is commercially manufactured by first converting coal or natural gas to syn gas, which is converted to methanol in presence of a catalyst. Methanol is then dehydrated to form DME as an end product. A significant portion of DME is also manufactured by simply dehydrating marketed methanol in order to avoid huge plant establishment cost. The uses of DME vary by regions. In general, it is used for blending in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in a pre-defined proportion to improve its burning properties and also to reduce the deficit of LPG in various countries. It is also used as an aerosol propellant, as an acetylene substitute for welding & brazing applications and as a precursor to other chemical compounds. DME has potential to replace diesel and can also be employed for power generation due to its clean burning properties.

The global market for DME has grown significantly during the past few years and is expected to grow at a more rapid pace in the next five years, mainly driven by growing demand in the Asia-Pacific region. China consumed more than 90.0% of the global DME demand in 2012, which was majorly for fuel applications. The DME market in other countries is emerging from past years and is expected to grow significantly in the future. Various countries like South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Sweden, Egypt, and Trinidad & Tobago have their own respective focus to develop DME market by producing domestically or by sourcing it from other countries. Currently, the production facilities are majorly concentrated in China, with few capacities in Japan, Germany, The Netherlands, and U.S. etc.
