Macro-economic Factors
Production & Supply
Both supply and demand for guanidine are rising. Bulk of the total production is consumed in the pharmaceutical industry and production of pesticides. During the COVID-19 outbreak, the supply chain was disrupted, as global lockdown was imposed by governments which caused shutdown of manufacturing plants; however, the guanidine market was positively affected, as guanidine was considered as an essential good for the production of drugs which is expected to drive the market.
Government Regulations
Political factors affect regulations and laws that indirectly affect the market. Governments, along with many regulatory bodies who are concerned with environmental factors, established stringent rules and regulations regarding the manufacture and production of guanidine, as it helps in production of cosmetics and drugs. In developing countries, governments and key market players are continuously funding for developing advanced products through guanidine, which is estimated to drive the market.
Coronavirus
COVID-19 has positively impacted on the market owing to the rising adoption of guanidine in oral drug for treatment of muscle weakness. COVID-19 had a positive impact on the market, due to increase in supply and demand for pharmaceutical industry. Rapid spread of coronavirus had a major impact on global markets, as major economies of the world are in lockdown due to the pandemic.
Hence, all the consumer markets started to show zero interest towards purchasing cosmetics goods; however, demand for essentials goods increased exponentially. In the lockdown, all essential goods and cargos are allowed to move around interstate, which is driving the demand for guanidine carbonate.
The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to boost the growth of the market; however, the demand for guanidine in the pharmaceutical industry for production of drugs positively affected the market.
Guanidine Market Dynamics
Growing Demand for Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharmaceutical grade is the primary market for guanidine carbonate. Both ultrapure guanidine hydrochloride and guanidine thiocyanate are used as protein denaturants in the development and production of biopharmaceuticals and their generic versions called biosimilars, due to their chaotropic character.
In addition, they are useful for the extraction of DNA and RNA in molecular diagnostics. Guanidine is used in antibiotic drugs such as Streptomycine, trimethoprim (mainly used for urinary tract infection) and Chlorhexidine are the guanidine derivatives used for antibiotic drugs.
Polyhexamethylene biguanidine is used as a disinfectant for swimming pools, fabrics conditioning, and wound care. Pyrrolidine Bis-cyclic guanidine’s are reported to be active against gram-positive methicillin-resistant pathogens staphylococcus aureus, which is expected to drive the guanidine market during the forecast period.
Rising Demand in Cosmetics Industry
Cosmetic product industry has been the primary market for guanidine carbonate. Guanidine carbonates are mainly used as raw materials in the cosmetic industry. Cosmetics comprise a range of products that are used for face and body care or to enhance or change the appearance of the face or body. These products include skin care, personal care, cosmetics, and fragrance.
A vast array of cosmetics is available, ranging from shampoo to moisturizer to lipstick. Each sub-category of cosmetics has its own characteristics, however, the products are generally formulated using a mixture of chemical compounds derived from natural sources or created synthetically.
Growing demand for cosmetic products is expected to increase the demand for guanidine, thereby promoting the growth of the guanidine market.
Market Restraint
Health Hazards caused by Guanidine
Workers need to take certain measures under consideration such as doing work without raising dust, keeping away from naked flames/heat, performing operations in the open/under local exhaust/ventilation or with respiratory protection, removing contaminated clothing immediately, and always using clean uncontaminated clothing. Other measures include thoroughly cleaning/drying the installation before use, avoiding contact of substance with water, and keeping containers tightly closed in working areas, which is restraining the market.
Market Opportunity
Rising Applications in Automobile Airbag System
An airbag is a vehicle safety device, and it prevents the driver and passenger from striking the steering wheel or a window. The airbag is designed to only inflate in moderate to severe frontal crashes. Sodium azide is the chemical that is found in automobile airbags.
It is used in automobile airbags to produce inflation of the airbag upon impact. After deployment, sodium azide is converted to nitrogen gas. Sodium azide interferes with cellular respiration and aerobic metabolism, preventing cells from using oxygen.
The central nervous system and the cardiovascular system are sensitive to acute sodium azide poisoning. In comparison to sodium azide, guanidine nitrate is easier to handle and not as toxic as sodium azide.
The development of a guanidine nitrate-based airbag component improves the safety during manufacturing and transportation of airbags and reduces the environmental concerns of disposal and is expected to create opportunities for market players are creating opportunities for the market.
