Increasing Demand for Vinyl Acetate Monomer to Augment the Acetic Acid Market Growth
Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), an intermediate in the production of a range of chemical derivatives, is one of the most rapidly growing application areas of acetic acid, accounting for a majority of its total global consumption. Vinyl acetate monomer is widely utilised in paint and coating formulations. In the paints industry, VAM is polymerised to obtain polyvinyl acetate or other polymers that serve as essential ingredients in the sector.
Global Acetic Acid Market Share by Region
On a regional level, China currently represents a leading market for acetic acid. The growing penetration of polymer manufacturers in the country has been contributing to the growth of the market. Furthermore, as acetic acid has applications across an array of industries including paints and coatings and chemicals, rapid industrialisation and urbanisation observed in China are likely to add to the growth of the acetic acid global market. The country is witnessing increasing government investments in the construction sector, along with the expansion of multiple manufacturing projects, which is expected to enhance acetic acid demand across major domains in the forecast period.
Meanwhile, the North America acetic acid market is expected to witness significant growth owing to the increase in acetic acid production in the region. The use of acetic acid in the meat industry has significantly increased and has emerged as one of the region's most important application sectors.
Acetic Acid Market Segmentation
Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is an organic chemical compound which gives a sour taste and has a pungent smell like vinegar.
