According to the Foreclaro Global Research, the Global Acetic Acid Market size was valued at USD 20.4 billion in 2025. The report “Global Acetic Acid Market Segmentation By Application (Vinyl Acetate Monomer, Acetic Anhydride, Acetate Esters, Purified Terephthalic Acid, Ethanol, Others), By End-Use (Food and beverages, Paints and coating, Plastics & Polymers, Pharmaceutical, Chemicals, Others)- Industry Trends and Forecast to 2033” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

 

The global acetic acid market is a well-established segment of the chemical industry, supported by its wide range of applications across industrial and consumer sectors. Acetic acid is primarily used as a feedstock for vinyl acetate monomer, purified terephthalic acid, acetic anhydride, and acetate esters, which serve industries such as packaging, textiles, construction, paints and coatings, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Market growth is driven by rising demand for adhesives, polyester fibers, PET packaging, and processed foods. Asia-Pacific leads the market in terms of production and consumption due to rapid industrialization and strong manufacturing activity. Capacity expansions, process optimization, and increasing focus on sustainable and bio-based production are shaping market development. However, the market faces challenges from raw material price volatility, environmental regulations, and competitive pricing pressures.
