Acetic Acid Market To Witness High Growth Due To Increasing Demand For Manufacturing Various Downstream Chemicals By 2022: Grand View Research, Inc.


Grand View Research, Inc. - Market Research And Consulting.
The global acetic acid market is expected to reach USD 13.31 billion by 2022, according to study by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing consumption of PTA for manufacturing polyester coupled with rising application scope of polyester in the textile industry is likely to fuel acetic acid market growth over the next seven years.

According to a report published by Grand View Research, Inc.; the global acetic acid market is anticipated to accomplish a valuation around USD 13.31 billion by 2022.

Increasing product demand for manufacturing various downstream chemicals can impel the market during the forecast period (2012 to 2022). Ascetic acid is used in the manufacturing of vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) and purified terephthalic acid (PTA). The VAM is utilized in the making of polyvinyl acetate (PVA), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH). These chemicals are used to manufacture adhesives and water-based paints. In addition, PTA is consumed in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.

Acetic acid is use as a chemical reagent to manufacture camphor, diketene, mono chloroacetic acid, and photographic chemicals. These intermediates are further utilized to produce polyester, coatings, greases, adhesives, and sealants.  These products find applications in various end-use industries such as construction, textiles, packaging, automotive and electronics. This is expected to boost the market growth.

The product is use as an important constituent in the making of vinegar. The vinegar is extensively used in cooking. Growing consumer awareness about health benefits of vinegar is also expected to support the market growth during the forecast period.

However, fluctuating methanol prices, which is a crucial precursor for producing the acid is expected to restrict the market growth.

Worldwide acetic acid market can be segmented on the basis of application and region. Based on application, the market can be categorized into VAM, acetic anhydride, acetate esters, PTA, and others.

The VAM segment was the leading segment and accounted for 25% of the market volume in 2014. On other hand, the PTA segment is anticipated to exhibit rapid growth owing to growing demand in textile and bottle applications. Various benefits associated with PET such as recyclability, light weight, and ability to mold them into different attractive sizes and shapes is anticipated to drive the PTA demand. In addition, growing demand for polyester from end-use industries such as textile and packaging due to its durability, lightweight, and breathability can also drive the product demand.

The acetate esters segment is anticipated to show above average growth during the forecast period. Need for low-priced diluents and solvents in food and beverage industry is anticipated to boost acetate esters demand.
