World Acetyls Analysis
IHS Chemical World Acetyls Analysis (formerly CMAI’s World Acetyls Analysis) is an annual study that covers historical trends and forecasts for major global acetyl market fundamentals over an 11-year period (five-year history, base year, five-year forecast). Clients receive detailed data on acetic acid, vinyl acetate and major derivatives in 10 geographic regions with five-year market forecasts.

In recent years, global acetic acid capacity growth has outstripped demand, leading to a significant decline in global operating rates. This is partly due to the worldwide recession that began in 2008. However, industry patterns have been uneven, with demand declining in industrialized regions just as it has been rising rapidly in most developing economies. China is now both a huge producer and consumer of acetic acid, with its production capacity forecasted to increase fivefold over the next decade. At the same time China has become a net exporter of acetic acid, new capacity has also begun to come on stream in the Middle East. These unprecedented capacity additions will take time to absorb, but in the meantime, are reshaping global trade patterns for acetic acid and its derivatives.
Against this background, IHS Chemical World Acetyls Analysis examines historical trends and near-term projections for supply, demand, production, capacity, pricing and profitability of the global acetyl industries over an 11-year period (five-year history, base year, five-year forecast). Clients gain single-source access to objective data and analysis for supporting their toughest investment and planning decisions.
