The plastics and polymers industry is the largest consumer of acetic acid, and it is anticipated to hold a 31.5% share in 2037. Acetic acid is a significant feedstock in the production of VAM and PTA, important intermediates in the production of a huge volume of plastics and synthetic fibers such as PET bottles, polyester fabrics, and packaging materials. The steady global demand for these industrial and consumer products underpins the leadership market position of the industry. The lightness and strength of these polymers make them a common ingredient in a large volume of applications. Moreover, the production of bio-based plastics and polymers from renewable sources is a tremendous new opportunity. With the growing momentum of the circular economy, the contribution of acetic acid in the formation and recycling of high-performance polymers will increasingly become crucial.

Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the global acetic acid market, with a projected share of 57% during the forecast period. This is driven by the region's position as a global manufacturing hub, with substantial demand from its expanding plastics, textiles, and construction industries. The region boasts major manufacturing centers and a rapidly expanding consumer base, driving the market. The top regional market is China, with its massive chemical industry and high VAM and PTA consumption. India market is expanding rapidly, driven by increasing industrialization and government initiatives like "Make in India," which are driving local chemical production and consumption.
