Global Acetaldehyde Market – Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2017-2022) – Research and Markets

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Global
Acetaldehyde Market – Segmented by End-users, Application and Geography-
Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2017 – 2022)" report has been
added to Research and Markets' offering.

The demand for acetaldehyde is driven by its use as a precursor in the
production of pyridines, pentaerythritol, crotonaldehyde, acetic acid,
and acetate esters.

Around 35% of the global acetaldehyde was consumed for pyridines.
Pentaerythritol, acetic acid, and acetate esters follow pyridines.
Pyridines also act as a reactant in the production of ethylidene
diacetate, a precursor to vinyl acetate used to produce polyvinyl
acetate (PVA). Moreover, it is widely used as a plasticizer in the
plastics industry and paint binder in the paints & coatings industry.
Moreover, acetaldehyde is combined with urea to produce resins.

The growing downstream demand for pyridines and pentaerythritol, from
pesticides, pharmaceuticals, resins, and coatings industries, acts as
the main driving force for acetaldehyde. Another driver for acetaldehyde
is the strong adhesive end-user market. Most of the adhesives are
PVA-based and acetaldehyde is a precursor for vinyl acetate used to
produce PVA. Based on above factors, the acetaldehyde market has been
segmented based on applications and end-users.Acetaldehyde usage in the
manufacturing of acetic acid, however, has been declining and been
replaced by low-cost methanol carbonylation process.

In addition, the demand for acetaldehyde has decreased because
n-butyraldehyde (used in the production of plasticizer alcohols) that
was earlier produced from acetaldehyde is now being generated from
propylene. Acetaldehyde has been listed as a Group 1 carcinogen by the
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). It is also known to
aggravate the risk of Alzheimer's disease. These health concerns are
some of the major limitations for the growth of acetaldehyde market.
