Global Glacial Acetic Acid Market (2020 to 2025) - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Glacial Acetic Acid Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The market for glacial acetic acid is expected to register a CAGR of more than 5% globally during the forecast period.

Acetic acid that contains a very low amount of water (less than 1%) is called anhydrous (water-free) acetic acid or glacial acetic acid. The reason why its called glacial is that it solidifies into solid acetic acid crystals at room temperature (16.7 C). The growing demand from the PVC segment and packaging industry has been driving the market growth.

Key Market Trends

The Vinyl Acetate Monomer Segment to Dominate the Market

The vinyl acetate monomer segment stands to be the dominating segment, owing to its widespread consumption in various end-user industries, such as consumer goods, packaging, automotive, and construction.

  • Glacial acetic acid is witnessing an increase in consumption in a wide range of applications, such as preservative in food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, paints, coatings, inks, and vinegar, and in the production of terephthalic acid, synthetic camphor, aniline, propylene terephthalate, etc.
  • Vinyl acetate monomer is used in adhesives and sealant industries, and it can be commercially produced using glacial acetic acid. Demand for vinyl acetate monomer has been witnessing a substantial rise, owing to the rising consumption of adhesives and sealants over the world.
  • Vinyl acetate monomer is an intermediate used in the manufacture of a number of industrial polymers and resins for the production of adhesives, coatings, paints, films, and textiles, as well as wire and cable insulation which in turn, drives the market growth for glacial acetic acid.
  • In addition, glacial acetic acid is considered a major raw material for the production of purified terepthalic acid (PTA), which further finds application in the packaging industry. The growth of the packaging industry is anticipated to drive the market growth.
  • All the aforementioned factors are expected to drive the glacial acetic acid market during the forecast period.

The Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market

Asia-Pacific was the largest market for glacial acetic acid, which is expected to grow, owing to the increasing demand for the product from countries, such as China, India, and Japan.

  • Glacial acetic acid is used as a buffering agent in dyeing the cloth with color, and it is used to print various designs on clothes in the textile industry. In addition, the production of acetic anhydride also seeks the use of glacial acetic acid as a condensing agent, which is further used in synthetic textiles and photographic films.
  • The prospering textile industry, owing to the exploding population in the Asia-Pacific region, is expected to augment the demand for glacial acetic acid.
  • Furthermore, the application of glacial acetic acid as a flavoring agent in the food and beverage industry and increasing demand for special foods and beverages are expected to propel the glacial acetic acid demand in the Asian region over the forecast period.
  • Hence, all such market trends are expected to drive the demand for glacial acetic acid market in the region during the forecast period.
