Global Methyl Acetate Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032

The global Methyl Acetate market size is expected to reach $ 520 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 7.9% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

Methyl acetate is a clear, colorless, neutral liquid with a mild, ester-like odor. It is one of the best solvents available. It is used predominantly for dyes and in the coatings, adhesives, cosmetics, plant-protection and pharmaceutical industries. It is occasionally used as a solvent, being weakly polar and lipophilic, but its close relative ethyl acetate is a more common solvent being less toxic and less soluble in water.

Global Methyl Acetate key players include Eastman, Wacker, Celanese, Anhui Wanwei Group, Sichuan Chuanwei Group, etc. Global top five players hold a share about 40%. China is the largest market, with a share about 55%, followed by Europe and North America, having a total share about 20 percent. In terms of product, Pure Methyl Acetate is the largest segment, with a share about 55%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Organic Solvent, followed by Intermediate, Cleaning agents, etc.

Market drivers

Industrialization drive

Global demand growth: Methyl acetate, as an important chemical raw material, is widely used in coatings, inks, adhesives and other fields. As the global industrialization process accelerates, its demand continues to grow.

The rise of emerging markets: Economic growth in developing countries (such as China and India) drives demand. The Asian market is growing fastest.

Environmental protection policy promotion

Low VOC advantage: Methyl acetate has low volatility, meets the requirements of environmental protection policies, and gradually replaces traditional harmful solvents (such as benzene and toluene).

Policy support: China's "14th Five-Year Plan for Ecological and Environmental Protection" promotes the application of environmentally friendly materials, and methyl acetate has penetrated deeper in coatings, detergents and other fields.

Technological innovation drive

Production process optimization: New processes (such as dimethyl ether carbonylation and reactive distillation) improve production efficiency and reduce costs.
