Acetone Market to Reach Valuation of USD 9 Billion by 2030 – Increasing Usage of Acetone in the Manufacturing of Cosmetics and Personal Care Goods Drives the Market

In terms of revenue, the Global Acetone Market is expected to reach by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2023 to 2030.

The growth of the Acetone market can be attributed to its diverse applications in various industries such as solvents, chemical intermediates, cleaning agents, and personal care products. The increasing demand for these applications, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, is expected to fuel the growth of the Acetone market in the coming years. One of the major factors driving the growth of the Acetone market is its use as a solvent. Acetone is widely used as a solvent in various industries such as paints and coatings, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and electronics. It is a highly effective solvent for many organic substances and is used to dissolve and remove paints, varnishes, and adhesives. 

In the pharmaceutical industry, Acetone is used as a solvent for several active ingredients and as a cleaning agent for equipment and tools. The increasing demand for solvents in these industries has fueled the growth of the Acetone market. Another significant application of Acetone is its use as a chemical intermediate. Acetone is a precursor in the production of numerous chemicals, including methyl methacrylate (MMA), bisphenol A (BPA), and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). These chemicals find extensive use in industries such as automotive, construction, electrical and electronics, and packaging. The growing demand for these chemicals from various end-user industries has resulted in the increased demand for Acetone.
