Ethyl acetate (CH₃COOC₂H₅) is a widely used organic solvent with applications across industries such as paints and coatings, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages, packaging, and printing. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic sweet smell and is primarily synthesized through the esterification of ethanol and acetic acid.
The demand for ethyl acetate is largely driven by its use as a solvent in manufacturing processes and formulations due to its low toxicity, fast evaporation rate, and pleasant odor. The market is experiencing steady growth, especially in developing economies with expanding industrial activities.
Global ethyl acetate market is anticipated to reach USD 8.25 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 7.10% from 2024 to 2033.
