The global Acetone market has expanded to reach approximately 8343 thousand tonnes in 2024 and is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR of 3.90% during the forecast period until 2035.
Acetone is a colorless and volatile compound with chemical formula C3H6O. It is a versatile component that is widely used as a primary ingredient in various industries. More than 95 percent of the total Acetone produced on a global scale comes as a by-product of Phenol. Acetone is synthesized by alkylating benzene with propylene to produce cumene, which is then subjected to an air oxidation reaction to provide phenol and acetone. Because it is miscibility with water, acetone is used as a significant organic solvent in industry. It is employed in a wide range of industries such as cosmetics and personal care, paints and coatings, and automobile industries. Acetone is an excellent solvent and serves as a cross - linking agent for the bioactive substances in fungicides and insecticides. Additionally, it aids in polyester resin cleaning. It is also employed in the polymer industry to produce polycarbonates, bisphenol-A, and epoxy resins.
The rising demand from pharmaceutical sector is fueling the market growth of acetone. Its demand is expected to rise in the near future due to an increase in solvent demand from end user sectors such as Paints & coatings, agro-chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and others. The widespread usage of polycarbonates to make light-weight automotive components, coupled with the expanding global automotive industry is anticipated to further propel the demand of acetone in the forecast period. The global Acetone market is anticipated to reach 12916 thousand tonnes by 2035.
The Asia Pacific region dominates the Acetone market in terms of consumption. As of 2024, this region consumed approximately 57% of the market. This region is anticipated to contribute maximum consumption share in the forecast period owing to rapidly expanding pharmaceutical and electronics sectors. Moreover, the addition of new production sites in China in recent years will result in reduced dependency on imports and make it self-reliable. Furthermore, India is also expected to ramp up its domestic production in the coming years.
Based on the end-use, the global Acetone market is segregated into Solvent, MMA (Methyl Methacrylate), Bisphenol A, and Others. During the forecast period, the Solvent industry prompts rising demand for derivative Isopropyl Alcohol, for the manufacturing of sanitizers and disinfectants. Demand is anticipated to increase in the near future on account of rising awareness over hygiene and cleanliness, influenced by the ripple effects of coronavirus. Moreover, companies engaged in the downstream utilization of Acetone products like BPA and MMA are eyeing to expand their business by several mergers and acquisitions, hence, creating immense scope for the growth of the global Acetone Market in the next ten years.
Major players in the production of Global Acetone are INEOS Phenol, CEPSA, Formosa Plastics Group, Kumho P&B Chemicals., Inc., Chang Chun Group, Advansix, PTT Phenol Company Limited, Wanhua Chemical Group Co., Ltd., INEOS YPC Phenol (Nanjing) Company Ltd, and Shell Chemicals.
