North America Acetic Acid Market

The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “North America Acetic Acid Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2027“, finds that the North America acetic acid market is expected to grow at a CGAR of 6.53% during 2022-2027. Acetic acid (CH₃ COOH), also known as ethanoic acid, is an organic compound containing two carbons. It is a clear, colorless liquid possessing a strong, pungent odor. It can be obtained through carbonylation of methanol, oxidation of acetaldehyde and ethylene, and bacterial fermentation. It is used as a chemical reagent in the production of vinyl acetate monomers (VAMs), esters, and acetic anhydride. It is extensively used in manufacturing pesticides, wood glues, synthetic fibers, and inks and dyes. In recent years, acetic acid has gained traction due to its widespread application as a pH regulator in the textile industry, an acidity regulator in the food industry, and a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry.

We are regularly tracking the direct effect of COVID-19 on the market, along with the indirect influence of associated industries. These observations will be integrated into the report.
