The China Ethanol Derivatives market has projected an expansion to reach approximately 2200 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR of 5.65% during the forecast period until 2030.

The market for ethanol derivatives is enormous and consists of many chemical products divided into many groups according to their uses and characteristics. The two main compounds that fall into the category of ethanol derivatives are ethyl acetate and acetaldehyde. Ethyl Acetate is released during the production of synthetic leather and silk, as well as during the making of photographic plates and films. It is also released in the manufacture of artificial fruit flavoring agents and essences, acetic acid, linoleum, dyes, pharmaceuticals, drug intermediates, and perfumes & aromas. In base coats, nail polish remover, nail polish, and other items for manicures, ethyl acetate serves as a solvent. For nitrocellulose, dry cleaning, stains, lacquers, varnishes, and other materials, ethyl acetate serves as a solvent. The oxidation of ethanol to produce acetaldehyde is a key industrial application. The production of acetic acid, acetic anhydride, ethyl acetate, peracetic acid, glyoxal, maleic acid, pentaerythritol, mono-, di-, and trichloro acetyl chloride, and pyridine bases on a large scale all rely on acetaldehyde. Moreover, acetaldehyde serves as an intermediate in the manufacture of insecticides, fragrances, drugs, and dyes.

The increased demand for ethanol derivatives in paint application coupled with increase in demand from personal care industry is expected to boost the production which is likely to derive the demand for ethanol derivatives in China. Ethyl Acetate, one of the key ethanol derivatives, is a widely applicable chemical intermediate used in the manufacturing of solvents, adhesives, water-based paints, pharmaceuticals, dyestuff, emulsifiers, and many more. Ethyl Acetate is used as a solvent, it is used in many contexts, such as printing inks, varnishes, and car care chemicals and in plastics and rubber manufacturing. In the food industry, ethyl acetate is used in the manufacturing of flavorings and in the pharmaceutical industry as an extraction solvent in the production of pharmaceuticals. Ethyl acetate is also a common component of cosmetics and nail polish remover.
Another important ethanol derivative is Acetaldehyde, which is used to manufacture various types of building materials, fire protection paints, synthetic lubricants, etc. Acetaldehyde is also often used as a base when producing acetic acid, which is also a basic chemical used in multiple industries. Due to the rising application of Ethyl Acetate & Acetaldehyde the China Ethanol Derivatives market is likely to boost and is expected to reach 3300 thousand tonnes by 2030.
