Description

The global acetone market size was valued at USD 5.84 billion in 2020 to reach USD 8.05 billion in 2027, register a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. Acetone is a flammable, colorless, volatile liquid commonly used as an industrial solvent. Acetone is produced as a byproduct during phenol manufacturing. It has widely used in industrial and domestic. Prominent end-use industries in the acetone market are pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and paints, and adhesives industries. The pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries have unveiled growth potential due to growing demand from emerging economies and increasing cosmetics spending.

Factors Affecting the Acetone Market Over the Forecast Period:

Factors such as increasing acetone application as a solvent and a high demand in cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and paints & adhesives industries are anticipated to drive growth.

Increasing demand for acetone in paints and coatings, construction, and automotive industries is expected to boost the growth of the acetone market. Moreover, the rising price of propylene and strict regulations in the chemical industry are key challenges for the growth of the acetone market. Also, the increasing product utilization as an active ingredient in removers, cleaning products, degreasers, and thinners is anticipated to fuel the overall growth of acetone growth.

However, acetone is regarded as one of the hazardous chemicals that significantly affects human health and groundwater. Hence, solvent manufacturers are looking for bio-degradable substitutes. The high acceptance rate of bio-based solvents is projected to increase as acetone disposal is not eco-friendly. Common substitutes used for solvent manufacturing include bio-solv, surfasolve, acastrip r, replacetone, and methyl acetate. In the paints and coatings industry, it is expected that the acetone will get replaced by Trichloroethylene (TCE), Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone (MEK), and tetrachlorethylene.

Impact of COVID-19 on Acetone Market:

During the COVID 19 pandemic, the global acetone market has witnessed a substantial supply-demand gap, which results in a drop in overall sales. End-use industries are going through huge setbacks that affect the overall demand for acetone across the globe.
