Drivers and Restraints: Expanding Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry to Generate Product Demand Acetaldehyde, also known as ethanal, is used as a raw material in the production of various pharmaceutical products and chemicals. It is widely used to manufacture pentaerythritol and peracetiac acid. These chemicals find a wide range of applications in chemicals and pharmaceuticals industries. The expansion of chemical and pharmaceutical industries will thus aid the global acetaldehyde market growth. On the other hand, increasing concerns regarding toxic effects of ethanal such as irritation, headaches, and dizziness have prompted governments to regulate the usage of such chemicals. This will act as a challenge for businesses operating in this domain. Regional Insights: Asia Pacific to Lead Backed by Surging Demand for Chemicals and Food & Beverages Asia Pacific captured the largest global acetaldehyde market share in 2021 owing to growth of leading consumer industries. The food & beverage and chemical industries have grown rapidly in recent years due to the availability of raw materials. This, in turn, will boost the demand for ethanal and contribute to market expansion. Meanwhile, Europe is slated to record significant expansion in the coming years due to surging product demand from cosmetics and pharmaceuticals industries. Surging demand for derivatives such as pyridine bases, pyridine, ethyl acetate, and acetic acid from pharmaceuticals & paints & coatings sectors will facilitate market escalation in this region. The Latin America market is propelled by easy availability of alternative raw materials such as bioethanol. Bioethanol is used in the production of acetaldehyde and is available in corn and sugarcane, which are grown in significant quantities in Mexico and Brazil.
