The global carbon disulfide market is poised for moderate yet resilient growth through 2035, underpinned by enduring demand in textiles, mining, and agrochemicals despite tightening environmental regulations. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market stands at USD 180.5 million in 2025 and is forecasted to climb to USD 228.8 million by 2035, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4%.
The FMI report, “Carbon Disulfide Market Size, Share, and Forecast 2025–2035,” projects a total value increase of USD 48.3 million over the decade, propelled by carbon disulfide’s irreplaceable role as a chemical intermediate in viscose processes and xanthate flotation agents for metal extraction.
A Decade of Steady Demand Amid Regulatory Shifts:
From 2025 to 2030, the market is expected to add USD 22.1 million in value, driven by stable consumption in rayon manufacturing and agricultural intermediates. Between 2030 and 2035, an additional USD 26.2 million growth is anticipated, as innovations in emission controls enable broader adoption in high-purity applications.
“While toxicity concerns challenge traditional uses, carbon disulfide’s efficiency in resource-intensive sectors like mining and textiles ensures its longevity,” said an FMI research analyst. “Producers investing in closed-loop systems and safer handling are best positioned for compliance-driven opportunities.”
