The South Korea Ethanol Derivatives market has reached approximately 160 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.07% 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. Ethyl acetate works as an excellent solvent in base coats, nail polish remover, nail polish, and other items like nitrocellulose, dry cleaning, stains, lacquers, varnishes, and other materials, ethyl acetate serves as a solvent. The oxidation of ethanol leads to acetaldehyde as the product. Acetaldehyde serves as an intermediate in the manufacture of insecticides, fragrances, drugs, and dyes. The demand for ethanol derivatives is predicted to rise during the forecast period due to an increase in the need for these derivatives as raw materials across a variety of end-user sectors, like Paints, Coating & Adhesives, Personal Care and Cosmetics, and the Pharmaceutical sector. Although, the demand for paints & coatings consumption is far less by the construction sector, and majorly consumed for automobile coatings. Marine coatings for manufacturing large ships also contribute to the market. The South Korea Ethanol Derivatives market will most likely reach 220 thousand tonnes by 2030.

Based on region, the South Korea Ethanol Derivatives market is segregated into Northern South Korea, Central South Korea, and Southern South Korea. Northern South Korea is the leading consumer of derivatives followed by Southern South Korea. In 2022, Northern South Korea consumed more than 40% of the market.

Based on the end-user industry, the South Korea Ethanol Derivatives market is segregated into Paints, Coating & Adhesives, Personal Care and Cosmetics, Pharmaceutical, and Others. Although, the Paints, Coating & Adhesive industry is the major consumer of the Ethanol Derivatives market in South Korea and consumed approximately 45% of the market in the year 2022.
