A key factor driving the growth of the market is the increase in
cigarette consumption. In APAC, cigarette consumption was the highest,
followed by the Americas and EMEA. In countries such as China and
Russia, the number of cigarettes smoked per person is the highest.
Cellulose acetate flake is used for manufacturing cigarette filter tow,
the main raw material for manufacturing cigarettes. Acetic anhydride is
used for producing cellulose acetate flake. A rise in the demand for
cellulose acetate flake will boost the growth of the global acetic acid
market during the forecast period.
This market research report on the global
acetic acid market 2018-2022 also provides an analysis of the
most important trends expected to impact the market outlook during the
forecast period. Technavio classifies an emerging trend as a major
factor that has the potential to significantly impact the market and

In this report, Technavio highlights the increasing demand for methanol
as one of the key emerging trends in the global acetic acid market:
Global acetic acid market: Increasing demand
for methanol
At present, acetic acid is produced by methanol carbonylation. The
increase in methanol production will drive the demand for acetic acid.
Research activities are underway for producing acetic acid by a process
where methanol is hydrocarboxylated into acetic acid by carbon dioxide
and hydrogen. Methanol can be produced from a range of feedstock,
including natural gas, coal, biomass, and carbon dioxide.
“In countries such as the US, methanol production capacity has
increased. Companies such as OCI, Shchekinoazot, Celanese are increasing
their methanol production. For example, OCI completed the construction
of their new plant which will be the largest methanol producing plant in
the US. Thus, a rise in methanol production is estimated to surge the
demand for acetic acid during the forecast period,” says a senior
analyst at Technavio for research on specialty chemicals.
Global acetic acid market: Segmentation analysis
