According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Acetonitrile Market Report by End-Use (Pharmaceuticals, Analytical Industry, Agrochemicals, Extraction Industry, and Others), and Region 2024-2032," the global acetonitrile market reached a volume of 155.8 Kilo Tons in 2023. Acetonitrile, also known as ethanenitrile and methyl cyanide, is a highly volatile, colorless, and flammable liquid with an ether-like odor. It is produced in the form of acrylonitrile and is used as an aprotic solvent in natural synthesis and butadiene refinement. Acetonitrile is also widely used in acrylic nail removers, batteries, and perfumes and as a medium-polarity solvent. Besides this, it exhibits high chemical stability and eluting power and is compatible with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) solutions. As compared to methanol, acetonitrile reacts endothermically with water and has a higher elution strength.
Global Acetonitrile Market Trends:
The significant growth in the pharmaceutical industry across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. Acetonitrile is widely used to synthesize carbonate drugs and as a solvent in the production of antibiotics, tertiary-generation cephalosporins, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis. Additionally, increasing product demand in the automotive industry for producing acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic with enhanced chemical resistance and mechanical strength is favoring the market growth. Apart from this, the development of aqueous acetonitrile and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and their extensive application in the agrochemicals and analytical industries to synthesize pesticides and fertilizers is providing an impetus to the market growth. Other factors, including the escalating usage of the compound in personal care and cosmetic products and the rising application of acetonitrile to extract oleochemicals, such as fatty acids from animal and vegetable oils in laboratories, are supporting the market growth. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market size is expected to reach a volume of 226.3 Kilo Tons by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.1% during 2024-2032.
