Acetone market is suffering from overcapacity across the globe

Acetone, also known as dimethyl ketone, is a colourless, clear, and a volatile liquid mainly used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of bisphenol-A (BPA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), and aldol chemicals. It is also used as a direct solvent in various applications including coatings and paints, printing inks, adhesives, nail polish removers, and other skin care products. Acetone is a by-product of phenol and is produced via cumene peroxidation process, which involves the reaction of propylene and benzene.

The global acetone market consumption was estimated to be approximately 6.1 million tons in 2015 and is projected to register a CAGR of 5.0%, reaching a market value of US$ 7.3 Bn by the end of the forecast period (2016-2026). APEJ acetone market is expected to dominate global acetone market in terms of volume in 2017, and the trend is projected to grow throughout the forecast period.
