Global Acetic Acid Market, By Applications (VAM, PTA, Acetate Esters, Acetic Anhydride, Others), By End-use Industry (Plastics and Polymers, Food and Beverage, Inks, Paints, and Coatings, Chemicals, Others), By Region (North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Rest of the World) – Market Size & Forecasting (2016-2025)

The Acetic Acid market is projected to register high demand during the forecast period with increasing demand from major end-use industries such as Plastics and Polymers, Food and Beverage, Inks, Paints, and Coatings, Chemicals, Others during the forecast period.

Acetic acid is a colorless liquid that acts as a significant precursor for the manufacturing of multiple chemicals used among others in the textile, rubber and plastic sectors. It functions as an intermediary for the formulation of different coatings, sealants, and greases commonly used in the building, electronics, and packaging industries. The market for acetic acid is expected to demonstrate significant development over the coming years. The increased use of acetate acid in the manufacture of multiple products such as vinyl acetate monomers (VAM) and purified terephthalate acid is expected to increase the size of the market. Acetic acid is commonly used in the production of VAM, which in turn is used in the production of different resins and polymers for adhesives, movies, paints, coatings, textiles and other end-user products.

Growing demand for acetic acid in rubber, plastics, pharmaceutical, construction, painting, and other sectors is driving worldwide market growth in acetic acid. Moreover, growing demand for Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) in the packaging and textile (polyester production) industries is also leading to increased demand for acetic acid. Increasing demand for acetic acid as vinegar due to various health benefits associated with it is also expected to accelerate the growth of global acetic acid market in the forthcoming years. It can also be a chance for the worldwide acetic acid industry to expand fresh separation techniques to enhance manufacturing effectiveness. In addition, as an industrial chemical and chemical reagent, acetic acid is also used to make photographic film cellulose acetate.
