2014-2021 2-EthylHexyl Acetate Market Outlook Compared to 2022-2029 Forecast

Sales of 2-EthylHexyl acetate increased at a 4.6% CAGR, between 2014 and 2021, owing to the significant growth in the demand from the end users. Furthermore, outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced demand for 2-EthylHexyl acetate in 2020 and 2021, sales prospects were hampered, which also resulted in the low growth outlook as compare to forecast growth rate.

Rising preference for 2-EthylHexyl acetate in printing ink industry and demand of paints & coatings from automotive and aerospace industry continues to boost the market as it holds a key share in the consumption of 2-EthylHexyl acetate which is estimated to create immense opportunities for the manufacturers during the forecast period.

2-EthylHexyl Acetate Market

All industries have suffered and seen a decline as a result of Covid-19, but the market is expected to grow significantly in the forecast period due to increased consumption from end use industries, which is expected to boost demand for 2-ethylhexyl acetate. Furthermore, Lower price ranges, on the other hand, will continue to influence sales of solvent-borne coatings, which will benefit the 2-ethylhexyl acetate market.

How Will 2-EthylHexyl Acetate Gaining Traction Over Conventional Solvents?

2-Ethylhexyl acetate is expected to grow in popularity during the forecast period due to its lower toxicity than traditional solvents. Traditional solvents have higher levels of aromatic content and, as a result, have higher levels of volatile organic components (VOCs).

Aromatic content in 2-Ethylhexyl acetate, on the other hand, is extremely low. Because of the low aromatic content, the solvent is odourless, has a lower VOC content, and has a lower toxicity than traditional solvents. As a result, 2-ethylhexyl acetate is a safer alternative to traditional solvents like chlorinated solvents.

What Was The Impact Of COVID-19 Crisis On 2-EthylHexyl Acetate Market?

The covid-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the global economy, causing numerous business lines to be disrupted due to decreased demand from various end-use industries, as well as restrictions. Lockdown regulations have harmed many industries, including printing inks, leather, and paints and coatings. Lower demand for the product has resulted from a decrease in consumer demand and a low manufacturing sector production rate.

All of this has had a significant impact on the supply chain network, which has had an impact on economic growth. However, the market is expected to grow at a faster rate in the forecast period due to rising consumption of 2-EthylHexyl acetate in various applications, and it is expected to continue growing in the future due to the compound's significant use in some upcoming applications.
