Global Acetylene Gas Market Size, Shares, analysis & trends up to 2020

Zion Research has published a new report titled “Acetylene Market for Chemical Production, Welding & Cutting and Other Applications: Global Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis and Forecast, 2014 – 2020.” According to the report, global demand for acetylene gas was valued at around USD 5.0 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach USD 6.0 billion in 2020, growing at a CAGR of around 3% between 2015 and 2020. In terms of volume, the global acetylene gas market stood at 500.0 kilo tons in 2014.
Acetylene is a highly flammable gas obtained from calcium carbide. Acetylene is manufactured by partial combustion of methane. Acetylene gas is also obtained as byproduct of reaction between calcium carbide and water. Acetylene gas is also produced from hydrocarbon sources such as naphtha, crude oil and coal among others. It is also obtained as a side product in the ethylene stream from cracking of hydrocarbons. Acetylene is colorless and extremely explosive. Acetylene is mainly consumed as a fuel and chemical building block. It is also used in welding and metal cutting and many other brazing applications.

Acetylene market is primarily driven by strong demand from China. China accounted for large volume consumption of acetylene. Strong industrial growth in China has been resulted into rapid growth of acetylene in China. Acetylene is primarily used as chemical building block in the manufacture of 1,4-butanediol (BDO). Acetylene is also used in the manufacturing of other acetylenic chemicals such as vinyl ethers, other acetylenic alcohols, N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, butynediol. However, volatile raw material prices are expected to be the major concern for the industry participants. However, an effort towards development of bio-based acetylene gas is expected to provide growth opportunity to industry participants.

Chemicals, welding & cutting and other applications are key application markets for the acetylene. Demand for acetylene in chemicals production was dominating the global acetylene market with over 60% share in total volume consumption in 2014. 1,4-butanediol accounted for over 90% share in total volume consumed among all chemicals in 2014. Welding and cutting was the second largest segment for acetylene gas in 2014.
