Acetone Derivatives Market: Introduction

• Acetone derivatives are widely used as solvents and chemical intermediates. They are employed in the coatings industry as solvents for nitrocellulose and other cellulose ethers and for vinyl chloridevinyl acetate and other resins. They are also used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, plastics, fibers, and films.
• Properties such as slow evaporation, low surface tension, low density, and high boiling point make acetone derivatives an important solvent, which can be used for high-solid coatings
• Along with the paints & coating industry, acetone derivatives are utilized in plastics, fibers, and films industries. They are also used in mining and metal extraction processes as ore-floating agents.

Key Drivers of Global Acetone Derivatives Market

• Acetone derivatives are widely used in the paints & coatings industry and as contact cement solvents in the construction industry. Increasing population and urbanization is leading to growth of the global construction industry. This, in turn, is driving the global acetone derivatives market.
• Technological advancements in high-performance engines call for high-performance lubricants and fuels in order to perform in an efficient manner. Owing to this, the demand for acetone derivatives from the fuel & lubricant industry has risen.
• Rise in the production in automotive and aerospace industries is fueling the demand for protective coatings. This, in turn, is boosting the global acetone derivatives market
• Strategic acquisitions taking place in the global acetone derivatives market are driving the market. For instance, in November 2019, Ketones & Additives, LLC, an affiliate of ALTIVIA Petrochemicals, acquired Dow's acetone derivatives business and associated chemical manufacturing assets. The acetone derivatives business segment of Dow manufactures ketones and carbinols, which are used primarily in coatings, adhesives, and pharmaceutical industries.
