The size of Acetone Market Size were valued at USD 4,685.7 Million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period of 2021 - 2026.
The demand for acetone is largely driven by the growth of end-use industries, such as personal care, textiles, electronics, cleaning, pharmaceuticals, and petroleum. In cosmetics, it is one of the most widely used solvents in nail polish removers and cleaners. Favorable physical properties, such as low boiling point and miscibility in water, boost the consumption of the product, which in turn is expected to boost the world market for years to come. The strong demand for acetone has forced manufacturers to operate production plants at higher rates. This additional production per year led to an increase in prices in 2019 and this trend is expected to continue throughout the forecast period. Another reason for rising operating costs is the stagnant profit margin. The high cost is also explained by a combination of factors, such as the rise in the price of propylene coupled with regulations on domestic supply, particularly in the Asian countries of China and India.
Recent Developments
In July 2019, Deepak Nitrite reached 80% plant capacity utilization of phenol and acetone. BSE-listed Deepak Nitrite, which has been commissioned and has been operating since the fourth quarter of 2019, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Deepak Phenolics (DPL), has achieved an average capacity utilization of 80% and a peak of 100% in your new phenol and acetone factory.
In June 2019, India's largest acetone plant is expected to save $ 400 million in foreign exchange annually on the import front. India's largest phenol and acetone production plant of Deepak Phenolics Ltd, located in Gujarat, which began operations almost five months ago, is reportedly slashing import figures for these chemicals by around 60 % and in the long run that would probably save about $ 400 million. value of foreign currency each year.
In June 2018, Green Biologics launched the world's first organic acetone-based nail polish remover. Sally Beauty Supply LLC is the first retailer to market a sustainably produced nail polish remover and markets it to more than 3,000 stores across the country. The product, which is branded as Sally Beauty's "Beauty Secrets" line, is a collaboration of Green Biologics and Marianna Industries, a leading developer and manufacturer of beauty products.
In August 2019, Altivia Ketones & Additives, a subsidiary of Altivia Petrochemicals, has agreed to acquire the acetone derivatives business from Dow. This includes the manufacturing site in Institute, West Virginia (pictured), as well as related infrastructure, grounds and utilities. Dow remains a tenant on the site. Terms were not disclosed and the transaction is expected to close by the end of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.
Bisphenol A is one of the end-uses of acetone that is used as a raw material for the production of various resins such as epoxy and polycarbonates. The escalating utilization of polycarbonate products in multiple applications, such as optical media for CDs and DVDs, and in the electrical and electronic sector for insulators, connectors and housings, and in the automotive sectors, is driving the demand for bisphenol A, which in turn drives the growth of Acetone market. However, with the development of new technologies, the demand for optical media has grown, due to the increasing use of the Internet for streaming movies and music. This growth also contributes to the growth of the market. In addition, the construction, automotive and IT segments are known as key growth markets. Therefore, the demand for polycarbonate is expected to increase, which will continue to drive the growth of bisphenol A (BPA) during the foreseen period. Moreover, the increasing use of epoxy resins derived from bisphenol-A (BPA) in the manufacture of water pipes, cans and thermal paper is also contributing to the growth of the BPA market which in turn is driving the growth of global Acetone Market through the outlook period.
However, acetone related health issues such as liver damage, vomiting and blindness caused by exposure, and the flammability of acetone are key factors hampering the growth of the global Acetone market.
Increasing population, rising disposable income and growing demand from personal care and cosmetics industry are driving the expansion in the market. The use of acetone in a wide range of industries, such as construction and petroleum, further drives the growth of the market. The pharmaceutical industry uses acetone as a solvent to deliver the right amount of medicine. It is used for dissolving chemical agents in drugs and regulating the effective density and viscosity of the solution. Growing demand from emerging economies, application in new applications and technological advancements are factors that are foreseen to provide plenty of growth opportunities for the global acetone industry in the coming years.
The global acetone market has seen an increase in production capacity, while the demand for acetone has slowed globally over the past decade. The main derivatives of the acetone market are epoxy resins, bisphenol-A (BPA), polycarbonate, methyl methacrylate (MMA) and phenolic resins, all of which have seen increased investment in new capacity in the world over the past decade. This trend of increasing capacity, which at times appeared to be less than global market demand for acetone, has now increased the pressure on competitive prices and changing trade flows. Upward price movements have been significantly affected by overcapacity trends, with acetone and phenol being closely related.
