How Does the Forecast Look for the Ethyl Acetate Market?
The ethyl acetate market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of ethyl acetate is slated to expand rapidly in the upcoming years, reaching $8.64 billion by 2029, thanks to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%.
This projected growth during the forecast period can trace its roots back to the bio-based and sustainable manufacturing processes, the upward swing in the paint and coating industries, the growth in the pharmaceutical sector, the rising demand for flexible packaging materials, and the surging need for printing inks. Key trends foreseen during this period include the escalating demand in the food and beverage sector, the expanding uses in the paints and coatings verticals, the shift towards bio-based ethyl acetate, the increasing utilization in pharmaceuticals and the instability in the prices of raw materials.
What Are the Critical Driver Fuelling the Ethyl Acetate Market's Growth?
Ethyl acetate market's expansion is anticipated to be driven by the surging need for paints and coatings. Ethyl acetate is routinely employed as a solvent in the paints and coatings sector, wherein it dissolves pigments and functions as a hardener, leaving a durable finish once applied to surfaces. Enhancement in the use of paints and coatings applications has resulted from the construction sector and the practice of applying paints and coatings to pre-existing buildings and facilities for aesthetic and protective purposes. The European Coatings article indicates that the volume of paints and coatings swelled from 14 percent in 2021 to 22 percent in 2022, largely used for enhancing new and old infrastructure. Consequently, the escalating demand for paint and coating applications is propelling the growth of the ethyl acetate market.
