Acetone plays a huge part as a key feedstock chemical used in many industries, especially in construction. Due to low acute and chronic toxicity levels, Acetone has shown low potential for causing adverse health effects. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, Acetone is rated as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) and is considered safe as an additive in food coatings and adhesives. The cosmetic and healthcare industry is expected to bolster the Acetone market worldwide. In pharmaceutical sector, which is the largest consumer of Acetone, uprise in the demand for drugs, medicines, sanitizers and other hygiene products will boost the production of Acetone globally. Many end use industries enunciated to expand the production of Acetone on a large scale as the supply of Acetone is scarce and the cost is usually high which will benefit the global Acetone market economically. APAC region occurs to be the biggest consumer of Acetone followed by Europe and North America. Paints, coatings and adhesives are largely manufactured in China. Due to increased construction and infrastructure activities in China, there is expected to be a rise in the demand for Acetone in the country followed by Thailand. Manufacturing units in India are likely to push the Acetone industry due to its numerous applications in the pharmaceutical sector. In the US, the demand for Acetone is driven by its increased usage in automotive and coatings sector.

Some commercially oxidized intermediates of Acetone are:

Bisphenol A (BPA)
BPA is a colourless chemical compound that is extensively used in the production of polycarbonates, food containers, epoxy resins, sanitizing and other hygienic products. It is widely added in many commercial products and used in the hardening of plastic. BPA is usually synthesized by the condensation reaction between Phenol and Acetone. Epoxy resins that are produced by BPA are helpful in lining water pipes and food coatings. Whereas polycarbonates made from BPA find application in plastic industry. BPA demonstrates low toxicity levels, but it can cause damage in the growth and development of aquatic life. The US, Europe and North America have stopped the usage of BPA in food and beverage sector. Other substitutes of BPA are Bisphenol S (BPS) and Diphenyl Sulfone.



Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)
Methyl Methacrylate (CH₂=CCOOCH₃) is a colourless liquid which is exclusively known for its high strength, efficiency, durability, transparency and easy recyclability. The demand for MMA can be seen in numerous applications in various sectors including construction, automotive and electronic industries. It is widely used in the manufacturing of paints and coatings, adhesives, waterproof materials, electronic devices and others. The immense exposure to MMA can cause mucosal irritation and allergic reactions. The increased demand for MMA in the production of PMMA (Poly Methyl Methacrylate) is likely to drive the Methyl Methacrylate market worldwide in upcoming years. PMMA is more durable and can retain its properties even after getting exposed to strong UV rays and strong weather condition. It can be used as a substitute to glass in the automotive and construction sectors. Countries like China, India and the US are likely to expand their construction and infrastructure sector, which will propel the MMA market worldwide.

Solvents
Acetone is a considerable solvent used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries due to its ability of getting dissolved in both polar and non-polar substances. It is usually in liquid form but can be transformed into gaseous or solid form. Acetone solvents exhibit miscible properties i.e., having the ability of mixing with water at different proportions. Acetone acts as a good solvent for the manufacturing of plastic and other synthetic fibres. It can be helpful in the thinning of resins and paint & coatings. Solvents are significantly used in the finishing of furniture and automobiles. Other products that contain Acetone solvents are cosmetics, nail polish removers, shoe polishes, dry cleaners, house sanitizing products and others. Increased use of organic solvents in various end use industries is steadily boosting the global market for solvents. Keeping the environmental impact in mind, companies are also focusing on the production of bio-based solvents. In Europe and North America, expanding economies and technologies are demanding high and better quality of solvents which is likely to boost the global solvent market.

What is the current potential of Global Acetone Market?

The Acetone market is highly fragmented with more than 25000 players operating globally in the market. The APAC market is approximated to grow at a considerable rate during the forecast period as the region has become a manufacturing hub of BPA, MMA, PMMA and solvents. Dominance of Asia-Pacific in global Acetone market can be attributed to the growing demand for Acetone in various sectors including pharmaceutical, automotive, cosmetics and others.
