The petrochemical industry is expected to experience significant growth over the next decade, driving up the demand for N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP). Additionally, the electronic sector is anticipated to see a surge in demand for chemicals, further contributing to this trend.
The flourishing electronics industry is largely fueled by the increasing production of consumer electronic goods. Moreover, rising discretionary incomes, resulting from economic growth, are likely to accelerate the demand for NMP.
The automotive sector is also expected to significantly boost NMP sales, as the need for electronic components in vehicles grows. Furthermore, industrialization and the rising demand for NMP as a drug solubilizer in the pharmaceutical sector are key factors propelling market growth.
Manufacturers of NMP should focus on producing electronic-grade N-methyl pyrrolidone, which is essential for lithium-ion batteries. This focus is expected to enhance revenue streams and open up important opportunities in the market.
However, the industry faces challenges, particularly due to the removal of NMP from production processes due to its toxicity. For example, in 2023, Leclanché developed low-cobalt lithium-ion cells with 20% greater energy density by eliminating the use of N-methyl pyrrolidone as a solvent.

Key Developments Taking Place in N-methyl Pyrrolidone Market
- In December 2020, BASF SE officially declared that the company is set to increase the prices of N-methyl pyrrolidone. The price change was announced for North America and Europe region. It came into effect from the 1st of January, 2021, or as per the existing contracts permit.
- In late 2020, Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk announced cutting down the costs of the extremely costly part of an EV by developing in-house batteries. The company faces a long process of enhancing its battery factory. This is further complicated by new plans to deploy innovative manufacturing technology known as dry electrode coating. This technique eventually lessens the mixing step and slurry preparation. It further reduces the drying period, and discards the toxic volatile fumes generated from N-methyl pyrrolidone, recycling systems, and solvent recovery.
