Africa: In Africa, acetone prices fell sharply as weak demand from coatings, adhesives, and plastics industries weighed heavily on procurement activity. The acetone price index reflected a downward trend, influenced by adequate availability of cumene feedstock and steady production. Limited downstream traction, particularly in paints and construction-related applications, restricted buying momentum. Additionally, subdued export orders to key international markets added further bearish pressure, leaving the regional market in a cautious stance this quarter.
Northeast Asia: In Northeast Asia, acetone prices declined as oversupply and subdued consumption from bisphenol-A and methyl methacrylate sectors pressured the market. The acetone price index showed bearish sentiment, supported by stable feedstock cumene supply and elevated inventory levels. Export demand remained lackluster, while domestic consumption from downstream resins and coatings industries was insufficient to absorb excess material. Overall, the region’s acetone market faced headwinds from both supply-side abundance and demand-side weakness.
Europe: In Europe, acetone prices trended lower due to subdued demand from adhesives, coatings, and solvent applications. The acetone price index reflected bearish conditions as high inventories and stable production costs provided little upward support. Industrial activity in packaging and automotive segments remained restrained, limiting consumption. Competitive imports further pressured domestic producers, and buyers largely restricted procurement to immediate needs, reflecting weak market confidence and expectations of continued downward momentum.
Middle East: In the Middle East, acetone prices weakened as reduced demand from construction-related chemicals and plastics industries weighed on market sentiment. The acetone price index dropped, influenced by steady feedstock cumene supplies and sufficient local production. Subdued export opportunities limited regional price recovery, while cautious procurement strategies from distributors reflected expectations of further softening. Overall, abundant supply and weak consumption reinforced bearish pricing this quarter.
Southeast Asia: In Southeast Asia, acetone prices fell moderately as weak downstream demand from the adhesives, coatings, and personal care industries impacted the market. The acetone price index signaled a bearish trend amid steady feedstock cumene availability and surplus inventories. Export demand remained limited, particularly from major trading partners, which further pressured regional producers. With consumption lagging and supply chains operating smoothly, the overall sentiment stayed negative, though declines were less steep than in other regions.
North America: In North America, acetone prices rose significantly as strong demand from bisphenol-A and methyl methacrylate sectors supported firm procurement activity. The acetone price index reflected bullish momentum, underpinned by steady industrial consumption from adhesives, coatings, and plastics applications. Supply disruptions at select production sites tightened regional availability, further boosting prices. While competitive imports placed some restraint, the prevailing sentiment remained positive as resilient demand outweighed supply-side concerns, making the region an outlier compared to global bearish trends.

The global acetone industry size reached USD 7.60 Billion in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 12.20 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 5.12% during 2025-2033. Market growth is driven by rising demand in the production of bisphenol-A and methyl methacrylate, expanding applications in coatings and adhesives, and increasing usage in pharmaceuticals and personal care sectors, supported by global industrial expansion and consumer demand.
Acetone (C₃H₆O) is a colorless, volatile, and flammable organic solvent with a distinct odor. It is the simplest ketone, primarily produced through the cumene process, where it is obtained as a co-product with phenol. Acetone is highly miscible with water and many organic solvents, making it an essential industrial chemical. It plays a critical role in the production of bisphenol-A, methyl methacrylate, and solvents used in coatings, adhesives, and cleaning agents. Additionally, acetone finds widespread application in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products due to its solvency and volatility. Its versatility across chemical synthesis, industrial processes, and consumer goods highlights its importance as a core chemical building block in global manufacturing.
