Acetic Acid Market Share 2012 - 2018

The global acetic acid market was valued at USD 5.93 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 10.31 billion by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 9.3% over the forecast period from 2012 to 2018. In terms of volume, global demand was 9,612.5 kilo tons in 2011 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period from 2012 to 2018.

Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) and purified terephthalic acid (PTA), which are major applications of acetic acid together accounted for over 55% of the global consumption in 2011. Growing demand of both the applications from the end-use industries such as adhesives, sealants and packaging has been fueling market growth. However, volatile raw material prices may a pose a challenge to the industry participants in the coming future.
