Carbon Disulfide Market Overview
The Carbon Disulfide Market size is estimated to reach US$171.4 million by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 2.5% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Carbon disulfide is also called carbon disulfide and carbon bisulfide. Carbon disulfide is a highly flammable, colorless and toxic chemical. In spectroscopes, carbon disulfide is used as a fumigant, insecticide, sulfur solvent, non-polar solvent and optical dispersant. Carbon disulfide is used in the manufacture of chemicals like agricultural chemicals, rubber chemicals, cellophane, rayon and carbon tetrachloride. Rising fertilizer demand in developing countries is also a key growth driver of carbon disulfide. Carbon disulfide demand is expected to rise due to increased demand in end-use industries such as food packaging, textiles and refrigeration. For instance, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation, the Indian textile and apparel market is anticipated to reach US$ 190 billion by 2025. The covid-19 pandemic majorly impacted the carbon disulfide market due to restricted production, supply chain disruption, logistics restrictions and a fall in demand. However, with robust growth and flourishing applications across major industries such as automotive and others, the carbon disulfide market size is anticipated to grow rapidly during the forecast period.

Carbon Disulfide Market Segment Analysis – by Application
The Rubber segment held the
largest share in the Carbon Disulfide market share in 2021 and is projected to
grow at a CAGR of 2.7% during the forecast period 2022-2027, owing to
increasing demand from end-use industries. Carbon disulfide also called carbon
disulfide and carbon bisulfide is a solvent for phosphorus, sulfur, bromine,
selenium, iodine, asphalt, rubber, resin and fats. Carbon disulfide has been
used as an accelerator in the vulcanization of rubber, which is one of the
compound's oldest and most important applications. The rubber segment is
expected to grow steadily due to increased vehicle production and the use of
rubber in non-tire products, thereby driving the rubber segment in the
automotive industry. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle
Manufacturers (OICA), the global automobile output increased by 10% in the
first nine months of 2021, to 57.26 million vehicles, up from 52.15 million
units in the same period last year. With the increasing automotive production,
the demand for rubber will also likely increase, as a result of which the
carbon disulfide industry will be flourished over the forecast period.
Carbon Disulfide Market Segment Analysis – by End-use Industry
The Agriculture Industry segment
held the largest share in the Carbon Disulfide market share in 2021 and is
projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period 2022-2027.
Carbon di sulfide is primarily used in the agricultural sector to produce
dithiocarbamates, which are used as fungicides, biocides, fumigants, soil
fumigation and sterilization. Carbon Disulfide has emerged as a key component
in the production of agricultural chemicals that help farmers increase yield
while preventing crop spoilage. The increasing use of carbon di sulfide for
agricultural purposes over the last two decades is expected to drive the market
in the coming years. According to the U.S Department of Agriculture, The USDA
announces a $250 million investment to support innovative American-made
fertilizers, giving US farmers more market options. According to India Brand
Equity Foundation, The Indian agrochemicals market is expected to grow at an 8%
CAGR to US$3.7 billion by FY22 and US$4.7 billion by FY25. According to the
United States Department of Agriculture, UK’s wheat production has increased
from 9.66 million tonnes in 2020-21 to 13.99 million tonnes in 2021-22. With
the increasing agriculture production, the demand for carbon disulfide will
also likely increase, as a result of which the carbon disulfide industry will
be flourished over the forecast period.
Carbon Disulfide Market Segment Analysis – by Geography
The Asia-Pacific segment held the largest share of the Carbon Disulfide market share in 2021 up to 42.2%. The flourishing growth of carbon disulfide in this region is influenced by growing agricultural production, farming trends and government support policies for agriculture. The agriculture sector, including field crops, horticulture crops and others is significantly flourishing in APAC owing to growth factors such as rising fruit production and trade, favorable agricultural policies and urbanization. According to the International Trade Administration (ITA), Thailand’s agriculture sector's total local production increased from US$41,459 in 2018 to 43,379 in 2020. According to the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Total Horticulture production in 2020-21 reached a record 334.60 Million Tons, a 14.13 Million Tonne (4.4 percent) increase over the previous year. According to the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Fruit production reached 102.48 million tonnes in 2020-21, up from 102.08 million tons in 2019-20. With the established base for the agricultural sector and flourishing production of field crops, horticulture crops and others, the use of carbon disulfide is rising, which is projected to boost the demand and growth of the carbon disulfide industry in the APAC region during the forecast period.
Carbon Disulfide Market Drivers
Increasing Government Agriculture Initiatives:
Governments are investing extensively in agricultural
projects and investments to improve agriculture production. For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture launched "The Agriculture and Food Research
Initiative (AFRI)" to assure food safety and security while also training
the next generation of agricultural workers. The Canadian government will
invest $560,000 in the Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) in 2020 to
create the Canadian Agri-Food Sustainability Initiative. The European
Government has taken initiatives such as the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)
and Young Farmers. Furthermore, the United Nations' "Zero Hunger Vision by
2030," which aims to end hunger and double agricultural production and
incomes of small-scale food producers, is expected to boost demand for carbon
disulfide. Thus, the various agricultural initiatives by the government are booming the
agricultural sector, hence, driving the carbon disulfide market during the
forecast period 2022-2027.
Bolstering Growth of the Food & Beverages Industry:
Carbon disulfide
also called carbon disulfide and carbon bisulfide has been used in the food
industry to protect fresh fruit from insects and fungus during shipping, in
adhesives for food packaging and in the solvent extraction of growth
inhibitors.
Food & beverages are flourishing due to increasing industrial growth, high
population and government support policies. According to Department for
Environment Food and Rural Affairs, In the UK, the food industry grew by 49.4%
between 2009 and 2019. According to Invest India, India's food processing
business is expected to reach US$470 billion by 2025, with consumer spending
expected to reach $6 trillion by 2030. With the rise in demand for food &
beverages, the demand for carbon disulfide will also likely increase, as a
result of which the carbon disulfide industry will be flourished over the
forecast period.
Carbon Disulfide Market Challenges
Strict Government Regulations Owing to Adverse Health Effects:
Carbon disulfide's hazardous effects on human health and strict government regulations are expected to restrict the carbon disulfide market growth. When exposed for an extended period of time, it is claimed to have neurologic effects including behavioral and neurophysiologic changes. Moreover, manufacturers are being compelled to look into alternatives to carbon disulfide by strict government regulations brought on by the compound's detrimental effects on human health. Environmental agencies such as EPS, OSHA, AIHA ERPG and NIOSH have imposed strict limits on sulfur solvent and carbon disulfide exposure and utilization in various products. Furthermore, lyocell, which does not use carbon disulfide in its synthesis, is replacing rayon. This substitution is expected to hamper the growth of the carbon disulfide market. Thus, owing to factors such as hazardous effects on human health and strict government regulations related to carbon disulfide, the carbon disulfide industry faces a major challenge.
