Global Methylene Blue Market Research Report 2023

Methylene blue, also known as methylthioninium chloride, is a medication and dye. Methylene blue was originally synthesized in 1876 as an aniline-based dye for the textile industry, but scientists such as Robert Koch and Paul Ehrlich were quick to realize its potential for use in microscopy stains. The observation of selective staining and inactivation of microbial species led to the testing of aniline-based dyes against tropical diseases. Methylene blue was the first such compound to be administered to humans, and was shown to be effective in the treatment of malaria. Methylene blue was also the first synthetic compound ever used as an antiseptic in clinical therapy, and the first antiseptic dye to be used therapeutically.

The global Methylene Blue market was valued at US$ 7 million in 2022 and is anticipated to reach US$ 10 million by 2029, witnessing a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period 2023-2029. The influence of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine War were considered while estimating market sizes.
