The global acetone market reached a value of about 7.24 million ton in 2021. The industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 3.4% in the forecast period of 2022-2027 to reach a value of about 8.6 MMT by 2027.
The global acetone industry report gives a comprehensive analysis of the industry, including key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, the competitive landscape, and other essential market aspects. The expanding use of acetone in the rising use of the product as a solvent in numerous sectors like personal care, home goods, and the electronics sector. The critical demand indicator is the highest category spender in the industry report by region—APAC (44%).
Acetone, also known as propanone or dimethyl ketone, is an odourless and colourless solvent used to produce plastics and other industrial goods. It's a highly volatile, combustible liquid with a distinctive pungent odour. It can be found in various home products, including cosmetics and personal care items, to a limited extent. The acetone industry report comprises segments by application (Solvents, MMA, BPA) and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and South America).
Acetone is primarily produced in China, the United States, Taiwan, South Korea, and the Western European region. Due to rapidly increasing pharmaceutical and electronics sectors, the Asia Pacific region saw a massive increase in Acetone consumption. China is the largest consumer of acetone in Asia Pacific, with increased demand from numerous end-users such as construction, personal care, and solvents. The product's solvent properties are primarily driving the acetone market. Methyl methacrylate is leading the industry's demand as it is a white liquid soluble in most organic solvents except water. It finds extensive application in medical, dental, and joint replacement treatments and numerous industrial uses. Furthermore, MMA is primarily employed in producing polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin, which is then used to generate PMMA plastics. PMMA plastic is a cost-effective alternative to polycarbonate. Also, acetone has excellent solvent properties and can readily be mixed with water for printing inks, paints, adhesives, coatings, and other applications, all of which contribute to the market's expansion.
However, health concerns about acetone, such as liver damage, vomiting, and blindness from exposure, as well as acetone's flammability, are hindering the market's growth.
The global acetone industry report by Procurement Resource gives an in-depth analysis of the best buying practices followed by major global acetone regions across the globe, such as engagement models, contract terms, and buyer and supplier negotiation levers, among others.
Propylene can be used to make acetone either directly or indirectly. Cumene is responsible for over 90% of acetone synthesis. The cumene process produces around 83 percent of acetone; as a result, acetone manufacturing is linked to phenol synthesis. Acetone and phenol are created in tandem in this procedure. The primary manufacturing method is the reaction of propylene and benzene in the presence of phosphoric acid-based or zeolite catalysts. Cumene is oxidised to cumene hydroperoxide in the liquid phase. It is then divided into phenol and acetone in the presence of sulfuric acid. Each tonne of phenol produces approximately 0.62 tonnes of acetone.
Other methods include directly oxidising propylene (Wacker-Hoechst process) or hydrating propylene to produce 2-propanol, which is then oxidised (dehydrogenated) to acetone.
Acetone is employed in the textile sector for degreasing wool and degumming silk and the creation of lacquers, which is boosting the market growth. The expanding use of acetone in the manufacturing of personal care and home goods, the developing electronics sector and rising demand for polycarbonate products are furthering the market's expansion. Due to its properties, like being weather-resistant and scratch-resistant, MMA is used in auto-glazing and exterior automobile coating in the automotive sector. The generated demand for MMA is predicted to rise as infrastructure building spending rises, particularly on development and restoration projects connected to roads. With the growing demand for the derivative Isopropyl Alcohol, used to make sanitisers and disinfectants, the industry is set to witness further growth. Acetone is a common feedstock chemical used to make bisphenol A (BPA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), and other chemicals. In terms of end-user use, the cosmetics and personal care industries might account for a significant amount of acetone usage in the future. It's one of the essential elements in nail polish removers. Because of rising consumer income levels, demand for luxury cosmetics and personal care products is expanding worldwide, benefiting the acetone industry shortly.
The regional markets for the industry can be divided into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
With both global and local competitors, the acetone market is projected to remain fragmented. In anticipation of rising market demand, several leading businesses aim to build new production facilities or expand existing production capacity. To increase their position in the global market, these firms are pursuing a variety of alternative development and expansion initiatives. Partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions are only a few examples.
