Acetaldehyde Market Growth & Trends
The global acetaldehyde market is estimated treach USD 3.05 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.4% from 2025 t2030, according ta new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth can be attributed tthe rising demand for the chemical as an intermediate for producing various commodity chemical compounds owing ttheir usage in various industries, such as rubber, food & beverage, and others. Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) is widely recognized as one of the most commonly used aldehydes in various industries and serves multiple industrial purposes including food and beverages, chemicals, resins, paints and coatings. It is synthesized commercially by oxidizing ethylene using the copper system, and it occurs naturally as well.
Its large-scale production is carried out globally tmeet commercial demands. The production of CH3CHO can utilize different raw materials, such as ethanol and ethylene, and the availability and cost of these feedstocks can impact the economics of production. Acetaldehyde is popularly known as the aldehyde of acetic acid. It is alsknown as acetic aldehyde, ethanal, and ethyl aldehyde. Moreover, it is primarily present in lesser amounts in some foods made through fermentation, such as soy products, canned vegetables, milk products, and non-alcoholic beverages. The demand for processed foods, alcoholic beverages, and other products are alsimpacting the CH3CHO market.
CH3CHO is used as a flavoring agent tenhance the taste and aroma of certain food products. It is often added tvarious beverages and confectionery items timpart a fruity, nutty, or green apple-like flavor. It can be used in alcoholic beverages like whiskey and brandy tcontribute ttheir unique flavor profiles. Key players in the market are strengthening their position by focusing on broadening their product portfolios and investing in technological developments. Asia Pacific is expected tregister significant CAGR over the coming years as the region is a major product producer and consumer, with China and India accounting for a majority share of more than 50% in the region.
