The global sodium methanethiolate market size is expected to be USD 210.2 million in 2022 and the market is projected to touch USD 261.4 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the sodium methanethiolate market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Sodium methanethiolate is chemical compound with a chemical formula of (CH3SNa, MeSNa). It is a sodium conjugate base of methanethiol that is commercially accessible as a white solid in markets. It’s also popularly called as Sodium thiomethoxide. It is soluble in water and has a molar mass of 70.085 g/mol. It hydrolysis in moist air to produce methanethiol, which has a low odor threshold and a noxious fecal smell. It appears as a colorless and transparent liquid having a bad smell of a strong alkaline liquid. Furthermore, it is a powerful nucleophile that can be used to prepare methylthioethers. It is used to make a varied range of large scale and fine chemicals.

Sodium methanethiolate is excessively used as a raw material for the production of medicines and dye intermediates, and an antidote to hydrogen sulfide poisoning. As for agrochemical being the lead industry (36.76%) for the use of sodium methanethiolate because it is required to produce several types of pesticides, fertilizers, and other agricultural chemical manufacturing products. It can be used Sodium methyl mercaptan is the sodium salt of methyl mercaptan with the chemical formula CH3SNa. It can be oxidized by iodine to dimethyl disulfide (CH3SSCH3) and analyzed accordingly. It is flammable and acutely toxic. It is also corrosive in nature, capable of causing severe skin burns and eye damage. Hence, it is likewise advised to handle with care and follow strict measures when it is to be used.
