According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Tert-Dodecyl Mercaptan market size was valued at US$ 271 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 365 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.4% during review period.
Tert-Dodecyl Mercaptan (TDM) is colorless oil liquid, and diffuses foul smell. It is insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol, ether, acetone, benzene, gasoline and other organic solvents and esters. It is mainly used as molecular weight modifier.In 2024, global Tert-Dodecyl Mercaptan production reached approximately 119 K MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 2489 per MT.
Tert-dodecyl mercaptan (t-DDM or TDM) demand is primarily driven by its role as a chain-transfer agent used to control molecular weight, branching, and rheology in free-radical polymerization, especially in synthetic rubber/latex and acrylic/vinyl emulsion polymers used for coatings, adhesives, sealants, inks, paper/packaging treatments, and specialty elastomer applications. Because it is often specified by formulation and process qualification, consumption is closely tied to the health of downstream construction and renovation (architectural coatings, sealants), automotive and tire production (rubber demand), and broader growth in waterborne polymer systems; it can also benefit from regulatory and performance trends that favor low-VOC water-based formulations where emulsion polymerization and tight molecular-weight control are important.
Upstream, t-DDM sits on a C12 hydrocarbon + sulfur supply base and is more “specialty” than linear mercaptans because the feedstocks and production route commonly involve creating a branched C12 olefin (often via oligomerization or isomerization pathways) and then introducing sulfur functionality (frequently through reactions using hydrogen sulfide or sulfur-derived reagents) followed by careful purification and odor-controlled handling. That means economics are influenced by the olefins value chain (ethylene and C4/C5 streams feeding oligomerization/isomerization units), availability of branched C12 fractions (which compete with other specialty intermediates), and by H₂S/sulfur recovery dynamics linked to refining and gas processing. On the cost and reliability side, mercaptan production is sensitive to catalyst performance, yield, and purification energy, and the finished product supply chain depends heavily on compliant hazardous logistics, packaging, and storage controls due to strong odor and low detection thresholds.
In one sentence: tert-dodecyl mercaptan typically earns specialty-chemical gross margins (often mid-teens to high-20% gross margin)
