Acetate Salt Market - Significance, Market Overview, and Worldwide Market Outlook
Acetate Salt |
Acetate
salts are acetic acid-derived clear and colorless crystals or liquids (in
aqueous form). Acetate salts are non-toxic compounds with good buffering
properties, which allow them to keep solutions at a relatively constant pH
despite changes in acid or base concentration. These salts are widely used in a
variety of end-user industries, including pharmaceuticals, food processing, and
water treatment.
Acetic
acid is combined with an earthy, alkaline, or metallic base to form acetate salt.
The global acetate
salt market is expected to grow at a rapid pace, owing to the expanding
pharmaceutical industry around the world. Except for Japan, Asia-Pacific has
experienced significant growth in the global acetate salt, owing to the region's
expanding chemical and pharmaceutical industries and growing population.
The
global acetate salt market is segmented by end-user as pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies, chemical companies, academic research institutes, and
contract research organizations, with pharmaceutical and biotechnology
companies accounting for a significant revenue share and expected to grow at a
rapid pace. The salt market is divided into three sections based on
application: pharmaceuticals, wastewater treatment, and others. Pharmaceuticals
are the application segment with the highest revenue share in the global acetate
salt market over the forecast period.
The
Asia Pacific and the Middle East are driving demand for acetate salt for water
treatment, as various industries seek to recover magnesium salt from brine and
aluminum salt from aluminum hydroxide in order to reduce investment in raw
water treatment equipment installation. Furthermore, as the world's population
grows and urbanization accelerates, so does the demand for frozen and canned
foods.
However,
the market has certain drawbacks, such as the presence of benzoic acid and
sodium benzoate, which are commonly used as food preservatives and are easily
available in the market, as well as a rapidly maturing market in developed
economies of North America and Europe, which has resulted in a drop in
profitability.
