Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the global acetone market size in 2025?
The global acetone market is estimated over USD 7.2 billion in 2025 and growing at a consensus CAGR of 6.6% through 2034.
2. What are the largest applications of acetone?
Solvents (33% by volume), bisphenol-A (30%), and methyl methacrylate (18%) are the three largest application segments. MMA is the fastest-growing, driven by EV lightweighting and acrylic glazing demand.
3. Which region dominates global acetone production and consumption?
Asia-Pacific leads with 46% of global consumption; China alone accounts for 21% of global volume. The region is also rapidly expanding production capacity, with Zhenhai’s 650 kilo tons plant commissioned in July 2025 pushing Chinese domestic output.
4. How is the INEOS Gladbeck closure impacting acetone supply?
The June 2025 permanent closure removed 400 kilo tons of European acetone capacity, tightening regional supply and increasing import dependency. INEOS will restart Antwerp operations by 2027 in the interim, European buyers face higher spot prices and greater reliance on Asian imports.
5. What is bio-based acetone and how is it growing?
Bio-acetone is produced via microbial fermentation of waste glycerol or syngas, rather than the cumene process. It is supported by LanzaTech’s carbon-negative routes and US biomanufacturing policy targeting 30% chemical bio-sourcing by 2040.
