Acetic acid, or ethanoic acid, is a colorless liquid with a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. It involves oxidizing ethanol using bacteria or fungi to produce acetic acid as a by-product. Alternatively, acetic acid can be produced through the carbonylation of methanol. The chemical properties of the compound include its ability to react with metals, carbonates, and hydroxides to form acetates. Acetic acid is also a weak acid and is miscible with water, making it an effective solvent for various substances. One of the primary advantages of acetic acid is its cost-effectiveness and low toxicity, which makes it suitable for use in food and pharmaceutical applications. Currently, it is available in glacial and diluted forms and is widely used in various industries, including textiles, plastics, food and beverage (F&B), and pharmaceuticals.
The global acetic acid market is experiencing significant growth, primarily driven by the rapid expansion of the chemical industry. This is further bolstered by the growing application of vinegar in various food preparations in the F&B industry. In addition to this, the surging product application to manufacture adhesives and sealants, paints and coatings, and textiles and continuous technological advancements in production processes are providing a considerable thrust to the market growth. Furthermore, significant improvements in the distribution and supply chain systems and extensive research and development (R&D) activities by key players are fueling the market growth. Besides this, the escalating demand for vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) and the rising demand for purified terephthalic acid are propelling the market growth. In line with this, key market manufacturers are investing heavily in expanding their production capacity to meet the growing demand for acetic acid, which, in turn, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Other factors, such as the surging adoption of green solvents and burgeoning product demand across the pharmaceutical industry, are favoring the market growth.
