Acetone
is an organic compound with colorless, volatile and flammable properties.
Acetone is also known as Propanone and it is found naturally in plants, trees,
forest fires and as a breakdown product of animal fat metabolism. Acetone is
the simplest and smallest ketone bodies produced during ketoacidosis. Acetone
is mainly used as a solvent in the manufacturing of plastics, household,
electronics, cosmetics, personal care, and other products. Although acetone has
extremely low acute and chronic toxicity, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has determined acetone is safe for use as an indirect food additive in
adhesives and food-contact coatings.
The
acetone is frequently used in personal care and cosmetic products as both
solvent and denaturant. They are mainly used as nail paint removers, cleansing
products, hair care products, and skin care products. The rising applications
of acetone in the Manufacturing of Personal Care and Household Products drives
the growth of the acetone market worldwide.
Methyl
methacrylate (MMA) and the Bisphenol A (BPA) are some of the major applications
of acetone. According to the trusted source, among the total produced acetone,
30% to 34% acetone is used in the production of MMA and BPA. The Methyl
methacrylate (MMA) as an ingredient used in the cosmetics as a filler for
wrinkles and fine lines. Also, they are extensively known as a plastic
component used in products such as plexiglass and other transparent glass
substitutes. Bisphenol-A (BPA) is produced commercially by the acid catalyzed
condensation of phenol and acetone and it is used as an intermediate for the
production of polycarbonate.
In
addition, the acetone is used in the petroleum industries as a gasoline
additive. It helps in the diffusion of the gas inside the engines and allows it
to vaporize that improves the efficiency of fuel. Vast applications offered by
the acetone across various end-use industries contribute to the growth of the
acetone market. However, the EU Commission issued a new regulation on the use
of bisphenol A in plastic food contact materials owing to its hazardous effects
is expected to hamper the growth of the acetone market. Moreover, the rising demand
for BPA from the emerging market is projected to create several opportunities
for acetone market in upcoming years.
Among
the regions, Asia Pacific is the largest and the fastest growing region owing
to the massive demand of BPA across various countries such as China and India.
Furthermore, the rising cosmetic industries linked with the rising disposable
income in the Asia Pacific region drives the growth of the acetone market in this
region.
