Your Catalyst to a Lucrative Business
Increasing demand of methyl methacrylate to produce polymethyl methacrylate resins used in electronics
and automotive industry is a key factor for growth of the acetone market. Keeping these driving factors in
mind companies are increasing their production capacity in order to meet the global demand. For instance ,
Vadodara-based chemical manufacturer Deepak Nitrite Limited is expected to invest INR 1,200 crores to set
up a phenol and acetone plant at Dahej in Bharuch district of Gujarat to cater the increasing demand for
acetone in the region.
In 2016, Asia Pacific was largest revenue generating owing to the development of automotive and electronics
industries. Furthermore, growing pharmaceutical sector in China and India is expected to propel the demand
for acetone. An increasing demand for bio based acetone and strict government regulations is expected to
slow the market growth of acetone. Moreover, contact with acetone is dangerous for health and can cause
intoxication, dizziness, nausea, unconsciousness which in turn may hamper the market growth.
