Global Carbon Disulfide Market Outlook 2017-2022

The global carbon disulfide market is expected to display higher growth rate by 2025. The carbon disulfide market is subject to witness a substantial growth due to the increasing demand for cellophane from the packaging sector. In addition, increasing adoption of carbon disulfide for inorganic fertilizers and high-end demand of these fertilizers from developing economies across the globe are expected to fuel market growth in the upcoming years. Carbon disulfide (CS2) is a naturally occurring hazardous, colorless, and highly flammable chemical. 

The primary application of the carbon disulfide is manufacturing of products such as carbon tetrachloride, cellophane, viscose rayon, and fertilizers. Globally, the carbon disulfide market is predicted to generate massive revenue over the next seven years, providing numerous opportunities for market players to invest for research and development in the carbon disulfide market.

Carbon di sulfide is also manufactured for numerous commercial application by reaction between carbon and sulfur at an extremely high temperature. Production of viscose rayon is considered as one of the key application of carbon di sulfide. The carbon di sulfide is also used in the production of rubber and fertilizer manufacturing industry. Cellophane, which is produced from carbon disulfide is widely used in packaging applications across various industrial verticals such as food & beverages industry and automotive sector.

The rubber manufacturing application is considered as one of the fastest growing segment in the carbon disulfide market with substantial revenue generation in the last couple of years. Growing popularity of carbon disulfide in rubber manufacturing sector is attributed to use of carbon disulfide as an accelerator in the rubber vulcanization process. The packaging segment has witnessed a massive growth, in the last few years, owing to exponential increase in the adoption of cellophane in the industry. Carbon disulfide is also gaining traction in fiber manufacturing industry as well. 

The carbon disulfide market is divided by region as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Africa. North America has shown major growth in recent years owing to the rise in the implementation of latest technologies in the chemical manufacturing industry, increase in the import & export activities and existence of well-established industrial infrastructure in the region. Asia-Pacific region is predicted to hold major market share in the carbon disulfide market with massive growth in forecast period. Countries such as India, China and Singapore are leading the Asia-Pacific market with favorable initiatives and government policies, strong economic growth, presence large manufacturing unit, and significant investment by leading industry players considering potential growth opportunities in the region.

The key players in the carbon disulfide market are Akzo Nobel Co., Merck KGaA, GFS Chemical Ltd., Arkema Co., Avantor Performance Ltd., and Shanghai Baijin AG.

Carbon disulfide, CS2, is a highly volatile, flammable, clear, colorless, dense liquid that has many useful chemical and physical properties. An industrially important chemical for over one hundred years, most carbon disulfide is now produced by reaction of hydrocarbon gas with sulfur in a process developed in the 1950s, although many small capacity plants still employ a retort or electric furnace route based on wood charcoal and sulfur. Carbon disulfide is a raw material for a large variety of chemical products. It is used in the manufacture of xanthates, which are intermediates for the production of regenerated cellulose products like viscose rayon, cellophane, cellulose sponges, etc. It is also used as a reaction agent for the production of rubber vulcanization accelerators, fungicides and soil sterilizers. Carbon disulfide is an effective solvent for oils, waxes, sulfur and many organic compounds.

The five-year forecast for the carbon disulfide market shows a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.13 percent driven by increased demand from the Agricultural Chemicals, Rubber, Textile, Packaging, Mining & Metallurgy, Fine Chemicals and others segment, according to a new report published by Gen Consulting Company.
