(Food-Beverage-News.Com, October 05, 2021 ) The report "Acetaldehyde Market by Process (Wacker Process, Oxidation of Ethanol, Dehydrogenation of Ethanol), Derivative (Pyridine & Pyridine Bases, Pentaerythritol), Application (Food & Beverage, Chemicals, Paints & Coatings), and Region - Global Forecast to 2022 " The acetaldehyde market is estimated at USD 1.33 Billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 1.80 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.24% during the forecast period The growth of the acetaldehyde market is primarily driven by developments in the food & beverage, paper & pulp, pharmaceutical, and water treatment applications. In addition, increasing use of acetaldehyde in derivative, such as pyridines and pentaerythritol in emerging economies are influencing the growth of the acetaldehyde market. Expansions and acquisitions undertaken by key market players are further fueling market growth.
Food & beverage: The largest application segment of the acetaldehyde market
The food & beverage segment is the largest application segment of the acetaldehyde market. Acetaldehyde is used as a flavoring agent in several food products, and is widely used in the food & beverage industry as a preservative for fruits, fish, and as a flavoring agent. It is used as an aromatic agent in several non-alcoholic beverages. Due to its disinfecting properties, acetaldehyde also finds use in food & beverage packaging applications.
Pyridine and pyridine bases: The largest derivative segment of the acetaldehyde market
The pyridine and pyridine bases segment is the largest derivative segment of the acetaldehyde market. Pyridine is produced by the reaction of acetaldehyde with ammonia. Pyridine & pyridine bases are manufactured by the reaction of acetaldehyde with ammonium acetate, where acetic acid is used as a solvent, in a refluxing tank reactor under atmospheric pressure. It is widely used as a reagent and as a solvent to manufacture chemicals. Pyridine & pyridine base derivative lead the overall acetaldehyde market, due to their use as scavengers and as catalysts in several reactions.
