Methylsulfonylmethane Market

Market Insights

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a form of organic sulfur that is found in many different fruits, vegetables, grains, and animals. Methylsulfonylmethane is a product of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and is also known as DMSO2, methyl sulfone, and dimethyl sulfone.

On the basis of application, the global methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) market is segmented into food & beverage, pharmaceuticals & dietary supplements, cosmetics & personal care, animal feed, and other industries (agriculture, urban waste handling, etc.).

Pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements accounted for more than 55% of the total MSM market volume in 2015. The aging population, rising bone and joint health concerns, and rising health awareness are the major factors driving the market growth.

The global methylsulfonylmethane market is segmented by geography into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. North America was identified as the largest market for methylsulfonylmethane in 2015. It contributed more than 40% to the total demand for methylsulfonylmethane in 2015.

The methylsulfonylmethane market in the Asia-Pacific zone is predicted to register the highest rate of growth during the projected period. This growth is majorly attributed to growing demand from the synthetic lubricant and polyethylene industries, particularly from economies such as Japan, China, and India.

The global methylsulfonylmethane market is segmented by geography into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa regions. In 2015, North America was the largest market owing to rising consumer awareness, sports injuries, and the higher preference given to supplements and medications. It contributed more than 30% to the total demand for methylsulfonylmethane in 2015.

However, growth is projected to be fastest in Asia Pacific regions owing to an increasing population, a rise in disposable income, and health care expenditure. Latin America and the Middle East and Africa regions are projected to witness below-average growth rates during the forecast period of 2016–2023. One of the major factors driving the growth of MSM is the growing demand for bone and joint ingredients.

According to estimates, in Europe, there are more than 15 million people who are suffering from joint pain. While in the U.S., there are more than 19 million people. In addition, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), osteoarthritis will become the fourth most common cause of disability globally due to the progressive aging of the population by 2020.
