Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a colourless organic compound with a strong, sour, and pungent odour. It is also known as ethanoic acid or methane carboxylic acid. It is a key chemical reagent and industrial chemical used in the production of metal acetates, vinyl acetate, cellulose acetate, and volatile organic esters such as ethyl and butyl acetates.

Global Acetic Acid in Food Application Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Health benefits associated from acetic acid derived products

The consumption of vinegar has increased as it aids in weight loss, blood pressure maintenance, and blood sugar and cholesterol regulation. As acetic acid is used in the production of vinegar, it is propelling the market's overall growth.

• Growing application from the various end user industries

Acetic acid is used in the production of coatings, greases, polyesters, and sealants, which are used in a variety of industries including electronics, automobiles, textiles, and packaging. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are currently gaining popularity in the medical and consumer goods sectors due to their lightweight and recyclable nature. As PET bottles are made from purified terephthalic acid (PTA), which is derived from acetic acid, rising demand is propelling the market forward.

Opportunity

Acetic acid producers are increasingly embracing new technologies such as BP's Cativa and Celanese's AO-plus (Acid Optimization Plus), which deliver significant savings in variable costs as well as lower capital costs for new plant construction. They also increase capacity, improve production efficiency, reduce energy consumption by approximately 30%, and lower operating costs. Rising adoption of these emerging technologies for producing the chemical and its derivatives bodes well for the industry's future growth.

Restraints

Volatility in methanol prices, combined with the product's high corrosive nature, will most likely limit the growth of the acetic acid in food application market during the forecast period. The increasing number of negative effects on animal and plant species will be the most significant challenge to market growth.
