Acetonitrile is a highly volatile, colorless and flammable liquid, which is also known as methyl cyanide and ethanenitrile. It is a small and simple organic nitrile produced in the form of acrylonitrile and is used as an aprotic solvent in the organic synthesis and purification of butadiene. Acetonitrile has high chemical stability eluting power and is compatible with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) solutions. It is also used in perfumes, acrylic nail removers, batteries and to extract fatty acids from animal and vegetable oils. It finds extensive application across various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, automotive and agrochemical.
The United States acetonitrile market is primarily being driven by its widespread utilization in the pharmaceutical industry. Acetonitrile is widely used as a reaction solvent, carbonated drug, cortisone and starting material to synthesize vitamins A and B1. Moreover, various product innovations, such as the launch of aqueous acetonitrile, are providing a thrust to the market growth. Aqueous acetonitrile is commonly used as an extraction solvent to synthesize pesticides. Additionally, the increasing demand for acetonitrile in the automotive industry for producing acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic with enhanced mechanical strength and chemical resistance is favoring the market growth. Other factors, including the increasing usage of acetonitrile for drug recrystallization, along with significant growth in the chemical industry, are anticipated to create a positive outlook for the market in the region.
