Report Code: CMR 91103 Report Format: PDF + Excel

2-Methylindole Market Overview

The 2-methylindole market size is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period 2022-2027. 2-Methylindole is used as a reactant for regioselective synthesis of oxopyrrolidine analogs. The processes used for this synthesis are friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions, iodine-catalyzed Markovnikov addition reaction, and Michael addition reactions. There is substantial research and development focused in the field of 2-methylindole. For instance, the production of 2-methylindole through C-H allylation cyclization cascade using ruthenium-catalyzed synthesis. Moreover, pyridines and quinolines are manufactured using a reaction of pyrrole or indoles with carbenes. The other significant research and development in the field of indoles states that, indoles and tetrahydroisoquinolines are considered as structural motifs which display remarkable antitumor activities in compounds such as pharmaceuticals and natural products.

COVID-19 Impact

Many industries across the globe have faced several challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The industries such as chemical, food and beverages, and textile including many others have experienced pitfalls. Many projects in such industries have been halted due to an interrupted supply chain and employee shortages due to quarantines. Also, the production and demand in textile industry has declined due to an interrupted supply chain and cessation in transportation of raw material. According to United States International Trade Commission, in 2020, US export of fibres and yarns decreased by 25.6% while apparel export decreased by 22.7%. Thus, the global pause in industrial production and distribution, the demand and consumption of 2-methylindole has hampered to an extent in several industries as this product is extensively used as a dye stuff intermediate.

2-Methylindole Market Segment Analysis – By Type

The flavoring agent segment held the largest 2-Methylindole market share in 2021, with a share of over 27%. 2-methylindole is extensively used as a flavoring agent in food and beverages industry. During the past few years, flavoring agents have gained traction owing to the increase in demand for fast food and preserved food. The key function of flavoring agent is to add and enhance the taste of food and beverages. The food industry has developed in several aspects owing to the increase in urban population and change in lifestyle which demands for more formalized food supply. For instance, in January 2021, Kerry Group Plc has released their flavor predictions for 2021 focusing on popular and emerging categories such as beverages, salty, sweet, and savory. Thus, the increase in demand for flavoring agent in food and beverages industry is boosting the demand for 2-methylindole market.     

2-Methylindole Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

Asia Pacific held the largest 2-methylindole market share in 2021, with a share of 37%. This growth is mainly attributed to the increase in demand for 2-methylindole in several application in this region such as chemical, textile, and flavors and fragrances including many other. The presence of numerous developing countries such as China, India, Indonesia, and Malaysia including others are the major countries supporting the growth of the market. According to India’s National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency, in 2021, the country’s share in the global specialty chemicals market increased to 4%. According to Ministry of Textiles, from April to December 2021, textile exports of India grew by 41% compared to 2020 for the same period. Thus, growth in end-use industries in this region is further increasing the demand for 2-methylindole.     

2-Methylindole Market Drivers

Significant growth in textile industry

2-methylindole is substantially used as a dyestuff intermediate. The beneficial properties of dyestuff include compatibility with other dyes and chemicals, offers stability, and superior color fastness. Dyeing textile is an essential process for textile processing such as yarn dyeing, garment dyeing, fabric dyeing, and fiber dyeing, etc. Rapid urbanization and high standard of living have increased the demand for textile items resulting in an increase in export levels. For instance, according to China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in 2020, textile and garment exports from China increased by 9.6% to US$291.22 billion. Also, according to the US Department of Commerce, in January-September 2021, apparel exports increased by 28.94% to US$4.385 billion, while textile mill products rose 17.31% to US$12.365 billion. Thus, an increase in demand for textile items also increases the demand for dyestuff, in turn, fueling the demand for 2-methylindole.    

Increase in production of food and drink products

2-methylindole is extensively used as a flavoring agent in food and beverages industry. Flavoring agents are considered as main food additives with numerous varieties of natural and flavoring agents. It enhances taste and aroma during the food processing. An increase in demand for flavored food and drinks is owed to an increase in population and high demand for fast food and packaged drinks. For instance, according to FoodDrink Europe, in Q3 2021, food and drink industry turnover in EU increased by 2% compared to previous quarter. Such an increase in demand for food and drink sector on account of growing consumption will increase the production level of food and drinks items resulting in more usage of 2-methylindole as flavoring agent in food and drink sector. This will boost the growth of global 2-methylindole industry growth.

2-Methylindole Market Challenges

Concerns related to the storage of 2-methylindole
