Butyl Acetate Market Plying for Significant Growth During 2015 –
2021
Butyl acetate, also known as butyl ethanoate is an organic compound which is majorly used as a
solvent for manufacturing lacquers and other products. It is a flammable colorless liquid which is
found in various types of fruits. Butyl acetate is commonly used as a synthetic fruit flavoring in
certain food products such as cheese, ice creams, candies and baked goods. It is primarily
manufactured by the Fischer esterifaction of acetic acid and butanol isomer in the presence of
catalytic sulfuric acid. Butyl acetate also serves as a raw material in certain coating, cosmetic and
adhesive industries. Various isomers of butyl acetate are produced in the industry such as sec-
butyl acetate, tert-butyl acetate and isobutyl acetate.

The global market for butyl acetate has witnessed a significant growth over the past few years,
primarily driven by the growing demand in the Asia Pacific region. Production facilities of the
compound are primarily concentrated in North America and Europe, which also serve as the major
exporting regions. Developed regions such as the Middle East is anticipated to gain significant
share in the butyl acetate industry on account of increasing efforts by their governments to attract
various petrochemical and chemical companies.
Asia Pacific was the largest consumer for butyl acetate consuming a substantial share of the
market over the past few years. The market for butyl acetate in emerging economies such as
China has been well-established on account of increasing use of automotive paints and coatings.
China also serves as a prominent importer for butyl acetate; hence, the market dynamics in the
country are strongly dependent on the exporting regions. European market for butyl acetate is
anticipated to witness a slow growth rate as various manufacturers are shifting their focus from
Europe to Asia Pacific on account of the wide production-demand gap in the latter region.
However, demand for butyl acetate from regions in rest of the world (ROW) is expected to rise
significantly, primarily driven by huge investments in Saudi Arabia for establishing butyl acetate
manufacturing facilities. The Saudi Arabian government has successfully designed its policies for
the purpose of attracting certain large scale chemical companies in the country. In addition, easy
availability of raw materials for petrochemicals and strategic location of the country have attracted
various companies towards establishing their production units in the country.
