Summary

The global acetone market size reached USD 7.6 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 12.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.12% during 2025-2033. The widespread usage of acetone across various industrial verticals, the increasing demand for plastics, the widespread product usage in personal care industry, and the significant expansion in the automotive industry represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Acetone (C3H60), or dimethyl ketone, refers to a clear, colorless, water-soluble, flammable, volatile industrial liquid with a strong, pungent smell. It can be easily found in the exhaust generated by vehicles, plants, trees, and forest fires and also industrially formulated by bacterial fermentation. It can also be derived through alkylating benzene with propylene in the cumene cycle to produce cumene, which is later oxidized to compose phenol and acetone. It is versatile, miscible, has a lower boiling point, and exhibits the potential to breakdown down fat, stains, and grease quickly. Based on these properties, acetone is chiefly utilized as a key intermediate in various products, including adhesives, textiles, adhesives, paints, coatings, petroleum, nail polish removers, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and antiseptic solutions.

Acetone Market Trends:
The widespread use of acetone across various industrial verticals to formulate polycarbonate, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and bisphenol A (BPA) as essential derivatives represents a prime factor driving the market growth. These products are utilized to compose food-grade bottles, cans, translucent sheets, and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), which is further employed in several constructional and infrastructural applications. Moreover, the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted pharmaceutical companies to develop effective solvents, sanitizers, disinfectants, and dimethyl ketone-related materials, which, in turn, is facilitating the demand for acetone. Additionally, the increasing need for petrochemical products and the implementation of favorable green initiatives have encouraged manufacturers to produce renewable dimethyl ketone, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. In comparison to petroleum solvents, such green compounds are non-toxic, non-corrosive, and non-carcinogenic and reduce the levels of toxic and corrosive chemicals emitted in the environment. In line with this, the extensive acetone incorporation in multiple personal care and cosmetic products, such as nail polish removers and cleansing and fragrance items, is favoring the market growth. Acetone is further utilized in the textile for degreasing wool, degumming silk, and forming lacquers. Apart from this, the rising acetone usage in automobile windows, headlamps, taillights, and headlamps is positively stimulating the market growth. Other factors, such as extensive research and development (R&D) activities, the increasing demand for beauty products, and the expanding electronics industry, are creating a positive outlook for the market further.
