Methyl Ethyl Ketone Market Insights
Methyl Ethyl Ketone Market size was valued at USD 3375 million in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 3525.16 million in 2023 to USD 5066.45 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.62% in the forecast period (2024-2031).
Methyl ethyl ketone appears as colourless fairly volatile liquid with a pleasant pungent odour. It is naturally produced by some trees, bacteria & seaweeds. MEK is an organic compound produced from the dehydration of secondary butanol. It is used as a solvent, for making other chemicals, and for production of wax from petroleum. Numerous end-users prefer methyl ethyl ketone as an effective solution for different pharmaceutical and chemical applications. Methyl ethyl ketone is manufactured commonly by the dehydrogenation of 2-Butanol, catalysed by Copper, Zinc, or Bronze. Another method for MEK production is via direct oxidation of n-butane using Palladium or Cupric Chlorides as catalysts. Moreover, methyl ethyl ketone can also be isolated in the manufacturing process of butane-based acetic acid as a by-product.
Increasing printing inks demand from the packaging and publishing industries is a critical factor driving market growth, as is an increase in paints and coatings demand due to increased construction spending, particularly in Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa, an increase in vehicle sales over the past few years, rising expectations for increased production, rising demand growth from sectors such as coatings, textiles, and plastics, and rising demand for paints and coatings. Furthermore, increasing technological advancements and modernization in manufacturing techniques, as well as increased market research and development activities, will create new opportunities for the methyl ethyl ketone market.
