Market Insights

The global acetyls market was sized over USD 22 billion in 2015. The global acetyls market is projected to reach USD x.xx billion by 2023, growing with a CAGR between 6.7% to 7.2% from 2017 to 2023. The demand for acetic acid in ester solvents and purified terephthalic acid manufacturing industries are driving the growth of global acetyls market. The increase in the consumption of adhesives in some major industries is expected to generate the demand for vinyl acetate monomer. However, the decline in the demand for solvent based adhesives is expected to be a restraint for the acetyls market. Moreover, the growth in use of photovoltaic cells is expected to drive further demand for vinyl acetate monomer. Ethylene vinyl acetate also finds application in the photovoltaic cell industry as adhesive for sticking together glass and the electronic component. The price of the acetic acid in the global market came down significantly over the past couple of years, as the supply was greater than demand. The demand for acetyls in industries such as coatings, dye, food and beverages, paint, and pharmaceuticals boost the growth of acetyls market. The emergence of numerous new applications for acetyls in various end user industries are expected to drive the growth of acetyls market, during the forecast period.
