Drivers –Methyl Ethyl Ketone Market

Rapid growth across various end use industries

More than 50 per cent of the market for methyl ethyl ketone products comes from the paint and coating industry as a low viscosity solution can be obtained without affecting the product’s film properties. These lacquers are used in the automotive, electrical, and furniture market. As a surface-coating solvent it is so efficient that it has become almost critical for the production of high solid coatings that minimize external emissions. Methyl ethyl ketone is also used in the manufacture of plastics and textiles, in the manufacture of inks, adhesives, chemicals and also in industrial cements made from rubber. It is also used in the chemical industry as it is a precursor to methyl ethyl ketone peroxide which is itself used as a catalyst to facilitate polymerization of polyester resins used in reinforced fiberglass goods. In addition, the rigid demand for electronic cleaning industry is increasing, and the dosage of Methyl Ethyl Ketone solvent is expected to increase further. The growing usage of solvents for electronic PCB assembly effectively to dissolve a broad range of contaminants including solder paste and flux residues and is an attractive option due to its high evaporation rate, low toxicity, and non-corrosive properties, tends to increase the growth of methyl ethyl ketone. Thus, owing to an increasing demand from various end use industries the market for methyl ethyl ketone is anticipated to rise in the forecast period.

An increase in the construction activities

Construction is likely to be one of the most dynamic industrial sectors in the next fifteen years and is utterly crucial to the evolution of prosperous societies around the world. The growing construction activities across U.S, China, and India, lead the demand of Methyl Ethyl Ketone. According to recent research by World Bank, if construction productivity were to catch up with the total economy, the industry’s value added could rise by $1.6 trillion a year. That would meet about half of the world’s annual infrastructure needs or boost global GDP by 2 percent, specifically on those three regions which are U.S, China, and India. Also, the implementation of innovative paints and coatings, which includes advanced materials to manufacture them, also tends to increase the growth of methyl ethyl ketone. The growing demand of paints and coatings, as the construction is growing, tends to increase the demand of methyl ethyl ketone. The composition or formulation of methyl ethyl ketone in paints and coatings is more than 50 percent, which, as a result, leads the growth in upcoming years.

Challenges – Methyl Ethyl Ketone Market

Crude Oil price fluctuation

Currently, the fluctuation of crude oil prices tends to increase the methyl ethyl ketone prices around the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic has become the major factor that has created growth constraint of methyl ethyl ketone. In February and March of 2020, crude prices accelerated their decline in reaction to the corona virus pandemic and an expected sharp drop in demand for oil. Besides, major oil producers failed to come to an agreement on production cuts, exacerbating the problem. By mid-March 2020, the price of U.S. crude oil was fluctuating just around $30 per barrel. Also, the world’s top oil producers pulled off a historic deal to cut global petroleum output by nearly a 10th, putting an end to the devastating price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia. The sudden fall and rise of crude oil prices, as per its production tends to affect the price of methyl ethyl ketone, as crude oil is the main source. Owning to this, the growing price of methyl ethyl ketone tends to create hurdles in the growth of the market.

Market Landscape

Technology launches, acquisitions, and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the methyl ethyl ketone. In 2019, the market of methyl ethyl ketone has been consolidated by the top five players accounting for 43% of the share. Major players in the methyl ethyl ketone market are Petrochina Company Limited, Tasco Chemical Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corporation, Maruzen Petrochemical Co., Ltd, Shell Chemicals, Sasol Limited, ENEOS Corporation, Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd, Taizhou Petrochemical Co. Ltd. (Sinopec)and Zibo Qixiangtengda chemical Co., Ltd among others.

Key Takeaways

Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) acts as an excellent solvent, specifically in the paints and coatings sector. In addition, methyl ethyl ketone possesses higher boiling point and a slower evaporation rate owing to which it is widely used in the construction sector.

With people getting more health conscious, the demand for pharmaceuticals is increasing across the globe, in turn, leading to high consumption of solvents, such as methyl ethyl ketone, which are prominently used in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry.

Swift growth of the electronics industry and rising use of automobile electronics will boost the methyl ethyl ketone market during forecast period.
