The byproducts of piperidine exhibit pharmacophoric properties, increasing their application in various therapeutic applications. Derivatives of piperidine are used in antimicrobial, anticancer, and antiviral treatments. It is also utilized in analgesic, antifungal, and antihypertension drugs.
Piperidine is increasingly being used in the production of agrochemicals. It is an extensively used amine for producing a wide range of organic compounds. It finds application as a solvent and base for the manufacturing of agrochemicals. Piperidine exhibits the high property of anti-oxidation through the suppression of free radicals. Increasing need to improve agricultural production and gain improved yield has increased the application of piperidine in the agricultural sector.
It is also used in the manufacturing of rubber chemicals. Piperidine is used to obtain Dipiperidinyl Dithium Tetra sulfide, which is utilized widely for accelerating rubber vulcanization. It is increasingly being used as an intermediate for the automotive industry. It is used to obtain rubber with varying properties of elasticity, durability, and hardness through sulfur vulcanization of rubber. It is utilized for the manufacturing of tires, conveyor systems, hoses, and belts, among others. Greater demand for passenger vehicles, modernization of vehicles, and higher demand for lightweight and high-performing vehicles boost the demand for piperidine.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 influenced the growth of the piperidine market. The market experienced supply chain disruptions, transportation delays, and workforce impairment. Reduced demand for piperidine was experienced by automotive and agriculture industries due to restrictions in import and export activities, the imposition of lockdown, and travel restrictions. Reduced availability of raw materials and the closure of global markets further hampered the growth in industrial sectors. However, piperidine was widely used in healthcare and pharmaceutical to produce several drugs to address health concerns during the pandemic.
