Quarterly Update on Global Ethyl Acetate Market

For the Quarter Ending September 2020

Asia

Ethyl Acetate supply across Asia was observed getting tighter by the end of the Q3 with the prices gradually increasing due to restricted supply. The spot prices of Ethyl Acetate were observed to be hovering around USD 725/tonne FOB China. Key Chinese producer Jiangmen Handsome Chemical Development shut its 200 KTPA Ethyl Acetate plant in Taixing, Jiangsu in September. In South Korea, Korea Alcohol Industrial also shut its plant for scheduled maintenance. The price of Ethyl Acetate were observed to be steady due to stable demand-supply gap. Exports from China to other Asian countries increased due to increased demand in cleaning and sanitizing industry. Brisk trades pushed up the price of Ethyl Acetate to a seven-month high in September.

North America

North America’s Ethyl Acetate supply continued to fall due to rise in demand of upstream ethanol in hand sanitizer production. With the surge in the number in coronavirus cases, the demand of single use plastics increased that subsequently led to upstream supply concerns. The growing demand coupled with stiff supply pressured the dynamics. The prices of Ethyl Acetate took an all time high due to disrupted demand-supply issues during Q3. In Q4, the demand is expected to regain stability and the supply of the product is also anticipated to reach high levels.

Europe

The European demand of Ethyl Acetate was low due to limited offtakes by the end-users. Extended lockdowns disrupted the demand of the Ethyl Acetate in majorly all the countries of Europe. The prices of raw material were comparatively higher than observed in Q1 and Q2. Due to unattractive prices offered by the overseas nations like India and Brazil, buyers turned favorable towards domestic players. Demand jumped in September but remained shrouded with uncertainties amid looming economy as fears of second coronavirus wave pressured the overall activity.

About

Ethyl Acetate (C4H8O2), also known as ethyl ethanoate has major application as a solvent in perfumes, cleaning mixtures, paints and varnishes, lacquers etc. The main manufacturing process of the product is through esterification of ethanol and acetic acid while some manufacturers use the process of catalytic condensation of acetaldehyde with alkoxides. Many new technologies are coming up to reduce the production time and increase the operating efficiency. For example, Avada is a process that uses ethylene and acetic acid with a solid acid catalyst that has been patented by BP. Chinese National Petroleum uses one-step ethanol process to produce ethyl acetate. The global demand of Ethyl Acetate has been increasing due to its strong demand from the surface coating applications. It is now replacing the harmful and the restricted solvents in various applications. The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) sector has the maximum applications. With the rise in the awareness about the advantages of the product, many manufacturing companies have started increasing the capacities of their production plant.
