Global Acetic Acid Market Driven by Rising Demand for VAM and PTA in Developing Regions
The global acetic acid market is witnessing a positive growth owing to the growing demand for acetic acid and its derivatives, such as VAM and PTA, particularly in the developing countries. This can be attributed to the increasing industrialisation and urbanisation rates in these countries.Acetic acid or ethanoic acid is a colourless liquid with pungent odour and represents an important chemical reagent, particularly in organic chemistry. The chemical production of acetic acid takes place via carbonylation of methanol. It is used as a feedstock in the manufacturing of various synthetic chemicals, ranging from polymers to esters. It is also utilised as a food additive and solvent for various industrial processes. According to IMARC Group’s new report, titled, “Acetic Acid Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2017-2022”, the global acetic acid production has grown at a CAGR of more than 6% during 2009 – 2016.

Highlights of the global acetic acid market:
VAM (vinyl acetate monomer), represents the fastest growing end-use industry.
Growing demand for VAM and PTA is expected to be the major driving factor.
Asia dominates the global production, followed by North America, Middle East and Africa.
The single largest derivative of acetic acid is VAM (vinyl acetate monomer), which is used in the production of adhesives and sealants, paper coatings, textile finishes, photographic films, etc. Another important derivative, PTA (purified terephthalic acid), is used in the construction and packaging industries. Acetic anhydride, also derived from acetic acid, is used in the conversion of cellulose to cellulose acetate. Currently, as a result of the increasing industrialisation and urbanisation rates, particularly in developing regions like Asia-Pacific, Middle-East and Latin America, the demand for acetic acid and its derivatives (primarily VAM and PTA) has increased in various end-use industries. Moreover, the increasing demand for vinegar is also triggering the market due to its wide applications.
