According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Carbon Disulphide market size was valued at US$ 791 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1038 million by 2032 with a CAGR of -3.2% during review period.
Carbon Disulfide is a colorless to pale yellow, highly volatile liquid characterized by a distinct, pungent odor. Acting as a powerful solvent for both polar and non-polar substances, it plays an indispensable role in industrial manufacturing, particularly in the production of viscose fibers (such as rayon and cellophane) and the synthesis of rubber processing chemicals. Due to its extremely low flash point (-30°C) and exceptionally low auto-ignition temperature (approximately 90°C), carbon disulfide is classified as a highly hazardous and flammable chemical. Furthermore, it exhibits significant neurotoxicity; prolonged exposure or contact with high concentrations can cause severe, permanent damage to the human nervous system. Consequently, its industrial production, handling, and transportation are subject to stringent containment protocols and rigorous legal oversight.
In 2025, global Carbon Disulfide production reached 1.16 million tons, average price was 663 USD/ton, with gross margin 13.28%.
The global key companies in the Carbon Disulphide market include Shanghai Baijin Chemical, Grasim Industries, Nouryon, Liaoning Ruixing, Adisseo, and etc. In 2025, the five largest players accounted for 58.97% of revenue.
The Carbon Disulfide (CS₂) market remains closely linked to several established downstream industries, particularly viscose fibre and methionine production. CS₂ continues to serve as an essential chemical intermediate in cellulose xanthate manufacturing for regenerated cellulose fibres and in methyl mercaptan production for methionine synthesis. As global demand for textiles, sustainable cellulose-based fibres, and animal feed additives continues to develop, these applications will remain the primary foundation of CS₂ consumption.
The supply side of the CS₂ market is becoming increasingly concentrated around producers with integrated sulfur chemical operations. Companies with access to sulfur resources, stable energy supplies, H₂S recovery systems, or captive downstream consumption generally have stronger operational advantages, as they can better manage raw material costs and supply risks. This trend is particularly evident among major methionine and viscose fibre producers, where internal CS₂ production helps secure continuous operation and reduce dependence on external suppliers. At the regional level, Asia-Pacific remains the center of global CS₂ production and consumption, supported by large-scale chemical manufacturing capacity in China, India, Thailand, and Indonesia, while North America and Europe maintain relatively stable but more mature markets.
Recent geopolitical developments have added uncertainty to the global CS₂ supply chain. Energy price volatility, regional conflicts, and changes in international trade policies have affected chemical logistics, production costs, and cross-border supply arrangements. Tariff measures and increasing emphasis on supply chain security may encourage some buyers to strengthen relationships with regional suppliers or integrated producers. However, these factors are more likely to influence regional pricing and trade flows in the short term rather than change the underlying demand structure of the CS₂ market.
Over the long term, the CS₂ industry is expected to experience steady development rather than rapid expansion. Market competitiveness will increasingly depend on production integration, feedstock availability, environmental compliance capabilities, and supply reliability. While challenges related to safety management, regulatory requirements, transportation, and energy costs remain, the continued importance of CS₂ in methionine, viscose fibre, and other sulfur chemical applications will support the long-term stability of the global market.
