The increase in demand for paints and coatings in China, India, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam can be due to the rising building and construction sector, which has experienced significant growth. This rapid industrialization, along with a growing construction sector and residential home sales, has resulted in increased use of paints and coatings in a variety of applications, including adhesives, paper coatings, textile treatments, and others. Hence, the use of polyvinyl acetate, derived from acetic acid, is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.Major TrendsThe increasing demand for methanol is an emerging trend in market growth. The growth of the market for acetic acid will be fueled by the increasing demand for methanol. Researchers are currently exploring the conversion of methanol into acetic acid through the hydrocarboxylation process using carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Notably, companies like Eastman Chemical and Celanese are experiencing a rise in methanol production. These firms have built plants that can produce 500,000 metric tons of methanol per year. As a result, rising methanol production will increase demand for acetic acid, contributing to the market’s expansion.Significant ChallengesThe decreasing demand for conventional cigarettes that use acetic acid as a raw material may restrict market growth. The market is experiencing an impact on its growth due to the increasing popularity of electronic cigarettes as alternatives to traditional cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes have gained popularity as they are considered relatively less expensive and harmful compared to conventional tobacco products. This has led to numerous governments and regulatory bodies legalizing electronic cigarettes in both domestic and international markets. Furthermore, the growing acceptance and use of electronic cigarettes has resulted in a decrease in the usage of conventional cigarettes. Hence, the market is expected to be influenced by this shift in consumer preferences during the forecast period.For Insights on the market dynamics & segmentations VIEW PDF SAMPLE!What are the key data covered in this Acetic Acid Market report?CAGR of the market during the forecast periodDetailed information on factors that will drive the growth of the acetic acid market between 2023 and 2027Precise estimation of the size of the acetic acid market and its contribution to the market with a focus on the parent marketAccurate predictions about upcoming trends and changes in consumer behaviorGrowth of the acetic acid market across APAC, North America, Europe, South America, and the Middle East and AfricaA thorough analysis of the market’s competitive landscape and detailed information about vendorsComprehensive analysis of factors that will challenge the growth of acetic acid market vendorsGain instant access to 17,000+ market research reports.

Oil prices steady; traders digest mixed US inventories, weak China data
Investing.com– Oil prices steadied Thursday as traders digested data showing an unexpected increase in US product inventories, while weak economic data from top importer China weighed.
At 05:25 ET (10:25 GMT), expiring in March gained 0.1% to $76.25 a barrel, while rose 0.1% to $73.37 a barrel.
The crude benchmarks had slumped more than 1% on Wednesday, but trading ranges, and volumes, are likely to be limited throughout Thursday with the US market closed to honor former President Jimmy Carter, ahead of a state funeral later in the session.
China inflation muted in December
Chinese inflation, as measured by the , remained unchanged in December, while the shrank for a 27th consecutive month, data showed on Thursday.
The reading pointed to limited improvement in China’s prolonged disinflationary trend, even as the government doled out its most aggressive round of stimulus measures yet through late-2024.
China is the world’s biggest oil importer, and has been a key source of anxiety for crude markets. Traders fear that weak economic growth in the country will eat into oil demand.
The country is also facing potential economic headwinds from the incoming Donald Trump administration in the US, as Trump has vowed to impose steep trade tariffs on Beijing.
US oil product inventories rise sharply
U.S. gasoline and distillate inventories grew substantially more than expected in the week to January 3, government data showed on Wednesday.
inventories grew 6.3 million barrels against expectations of 0.5 mb, while grew 6.1 mb on expectations of 0.5 mb.
Overall crude also shrank less than expected, at 0.96 mb, against expectations of 1.8 mb.
The build in product inventories marked an eighth straight week of outsized product builds, and spurred concerns that demand in the world’s biggest fuel consumer was cooling.
While cold weather in the country spurred some demand for heating, it also disrupted holiday travel in several areas.
EIA data also showed that US imports from Canada rose last week to the highest on record, ahead of incoming U.S. president Donald Trump’s plans to levy a 25% tariff on Canadian imports.
Canada has been the top source of U.S. oil imports for many years, and supplied more than half of the total U.S. crude imports in 2023.
Strength in the also weighed on crude prices, as the greenback shot back up to more than two-year highs on hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve.
A strong dollar pressures oil demand by making crude more expensive for international buyers.

Trump’s possible tariffs could put downward pressure on oil prices – RBC
Investing.com – President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to implement sweeping import tariffs during his second term in the White House is potentially the “most bearish” policy development for the energy sector this year, according to analysts at RBC Capital Markets.
Trump, who is set to come to power in less than two weeks, has vowed to impose tariffs of as much as 10% on global imports into the US and 60% on items coming from China. He has also pledged to slap a 25% surcharge on products from Canada and Mexico.
Economists have flagged that the proposal would not only rattle global trade activity, but also threaten to reignite inflationary pressures and spark possible retaliation.
The uncertainty in markets was heightened on Wednesday after CNN reported that Trump is mulling declaring a national economic emergency in order to provide the legal underpinning for the tariffs. Earlier this week, Trump also denied a separate report that his team was mulling scaling back the levies to cover only critical goods.
In a note to clients on Thursday, analysts at RBC led by Helima Croft said that while the ultimate scope of the tariffs remains unclear, the headline duties on China could soften demand in the country and place downward pressure on oil prices. China is the world’s largest crude importer.
Business leaders with significant ties to China may advise Trump to stay away from instituting strict tariffs on the country, Croft predicted.
“We have also heard a view in Washington that President Trump could be amenable to a deal with China if Beijing offered to make large headline purchases of US goods, such as aircraft or even US [liquefied natural gas] imports,” Croft wrote.
“Beijing could also potentially seek to trade a reduction in Iranian crude imports for a tariff reprieve.”
However, Croft flagged that the overall market effect of the tariffs is still “challenging to forecast” because the Trump administration — unlike a prior round of trade tensions in 2018 — will have to weight the impact of the policies with broader macroeconomic worries “still front of mind for many in Washington”.
