Presently, the increasing use of DME in LPG blending carries a lot of promise. Due to their similar nature, DME can be combined with LPG to provide a clean-burning fuel alternative. DME is expected to replace diesel for fuel in diesel engines and gas turbines. This is further expected to increase demand and as a result, market growth. Moreover, it is more affordable to blend LPG with DME as the former is cheaper. DME's applications as an aerosol propellant make it ideal for use in aerosols across different industries including paint & coatings.

The fluctuating prices of DME, massive investments in infrastructure, low performance over long-term use and lack of export and trading infrastructure are expected to pose challenges for the market. However, encouraging government support for the development of a clean-burning energy source is likely to drive growth. Ongoing research and development in DME and the requirement for export infrastructure will likely present growth opportunities during the forecast period.
