 Ethyl Acetate Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• High Usage for Various Applications

In the pharmaceuticals industry ethyl acetate is used as a medium of extraction in concentration and purification of antibiotics. It is also used as an intermediate in the production of drugs such as sulphamethoxazole, rifampicin, etc. Ethyl acetate-based solvent adhesives exhibit a stronger bond strength and a higher resistance to peeling. Ethyl Acetate has applications as a solvent in inks for flexographic and rotogravure printing. Other applications of ethyl acetate include adhesives, cleaning fluids, coated papers, photographic films and plates, and artificial leather.

The properties such as the low cost, low toxicity, and pleasant odor it is primarily used as solvent or a diluent for applications such as nail varnish removal or an additive in cigarettes will further propel the growth rate of ethyl acetate market. Additionally, the improved economic conditions will also drive market value growth. The various government initiatives and the surging population are other market growth determinants that are projected to bolster the growth of the market.

Opportunities

• Developments and Product Developments

Furthermore, various developments by the market players and significant investments in research and development activities that further enhance the product's applications extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. Additionally, the growing product developments of ethyl acetate will further expand the future growth of the ethyl acetate market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Stringent Laws associated with the Environment

Environmental law is becoming more important all across the world as people become more conscious of environmental challenges. Legislators have begun to draft and adopt strong environmental legislation in order to reduce the environmental impact of hazardous substances. As a result, water-based paints and varnishes are gradually gaining ground on solvent-based alternatives. The solvents' volatile nature makes them risky for users in paint and coating applications. The market for ethyl acetate has slowed as a result of this.

• Fluctuating Raw Material Prices

The ethyl acetate manufacturing requires raw materials such as acetic acid and anhydrous ethanol. However, the prices of these materials are prone to fluctuations, which further increases the overall cost price of the product. Therefore, this factor is estimated to hamper\ the market demand over the forecast period.

Negative Impact on Health

Moreover, the product’s side effects, such as eye, nose, and throat irritation, further hampers the market demand and thus creates the market's challenges.

COVID-19 Impact on Ethyl acetate Market

The recent outbreak of coronavirus had a negative impact on the ethyl acetate market. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, construction operations were delayed, and sales of paints and coatings were hampered. Interest in DIY house decorating has developed as a result of the increased time spent at home as a result of the lockdown. As a result, consumer demand for coatings and paints has increased, which is projected to impact the global ethyl acetate market. COVID-19 has also prompted the chemical industry to shut down, resulting in lower output of chemical commodities including pigments, solvents, and intermediates and a negative impact on the ethyl acetate market.

Recent Development

• In March 2021. Celanese Corporation, a global chemical and specialty materials company, announced that its chemical production plant in Clear Lake, Texas will begin using recycled carbon dioxide (CO2) as a substitute feedstock in the fabrication of methanol, a critical raw material in the production of various acetyls products such as ethyl acetate, vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), acetic acid, and other derivatives.
