Impact of the Global Disruption

The Russia-Ukraine war has caused disruptions in the global supply chain, leading to increased raw material and energy prices. This has affected the production cost of acetone, potentially impacting market growth. However, the conflict has also led to increased demand for acetone in the pharmaceutical industry due to the need for hand sanitizers and disinfectants.

The global economic slowdown has impacted various industries, including construction and automotive, which are significant consumers of acetone. The reduced demand from these sectors may hinder market growth. However, the demand for acetone in the pharmaceutical industry remains relatively stable, providing some resilience to the market. For example, a leading chemical manufacturer reported a decline in acetone sales to the automotive sector due to reduced car production during the economic slowdown. However, the company experienced increased sales to pharmaceutical companies for the production of hand sanitizers.

Asia Pacific dominated the acetone market with a revenue share of about 47.8% in 2023

This is due to the high demand from various industries in countries like China, India, and Japan. China, the major consumer of acetone, is expected to drive product consumption due to the growth of the pharmaceutical and electronics sectors.

Europe is projected to witness the highest CAGR of about 8.3% during the forecast period. Increased consumer spending on cosmetics and personal care products, coupled with growing awareness about skin and beauty care, is driving the demand for acetone in the region.
