The global ethyl acetate market is expected to grow from USD 3,210.0 Million in 2020 to USD 6,584.5 Million by 2028, at a CAGR of 9.6% during the Projection period 2021-2028. This growth of the ethyl acetate market is mainly driven by extensive usage of ethyl acetate in paints and coatings due to its properties coupled with the significant growth in the global building and construction sector.
Ethyl acetate is an organic compound and a widely used solvent, especially for paints, varnishes, cleaning mixtures, lacquers, and perfumes. It is a colorless liquid and the ester of ethanol & acetic acid with a characteristic sweet smell. This chemical compound is highly flammable with a flashpoint of -4° C as well as toxic when inhaled or ingested, and can be extremely damaging to the internal organs in the case of prolonged or repeated exposure.
Ethyl acetate is seeing an extensive range of applications in different industries. For instance, it is used primarily as a coatings solvent for lacquers, paints, and varnishes; a process solvent in the pharmaceutical industry; an extraction solvent for various processes, including decaffeination of tea and coffee; and a carrier solvent for printing inks, nail polish, and adhesives.

Market Dynamics
Drivers:
Ethyl acetate is an economical solvent and it ensures superior performance. In addition to this, it has properties such as low toxicity and odor. Such properties make it the most preferred solvent in the paints and coating industry. In addition, paints utilize ethyl acetate as an activator or a hardener. Hence, the growing paints and coatings sector across the globe fuels the ethyl acetate market.
Ethyl acetate is rapidly being consumed for the manufacture of printing ink. However, the printing ink is flourishing at a rapid pace due to demand from commercial printing & publishing, flexible packaging, and packaging labels. In addition to this, the rapid growth of the packaging industry further boosted growth in the application of digital printing creating demand for printing ink. This growth of the printing industry drives the growth of the ethyl acetate market.
Restraints:
Ongoing growth in environmental concerns has led to the emergence of stringent regulations and environmental norms for reducing the impact of harmful chemicals. This has led to the replacement of solvent-based paints and coatings with water-based solutions. Ethyl acetate chemical compounds are highly flammable and can be extremely damaging to the internal organs in the case of prolonged or repeated exposure. This preference towards water-based paints and coatings may hamper the growth of the ethyl acetate market to some extent.
Opportunities:
Ethyl acetate is seeing emerging use cases across different industry verticals such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical, packaging, automotive, and artificial leather. For instance, the manufacture of artificial leather products such as bags, purses, wallets, and other accessories creates demand for ethyl acetate. While on the other hand, the food and beverage industry uses ethyl acetate to add artificial flavors, creating growth opportunities for the ethyl acetate market.
Challenges:
Owing to the unprecedented crisis of COVID-19, a number of countries have employed nationwide lockdowns. The pandemic has caused a considerable economic downturn across the globe with a huge influence on the growth of different industrial sectors. This has led to the reduction in demand for ethyl acetate in industrial sectors. In addition to this, sales of paints and coatings have also been hampered due to halted construction activities.
Hence, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic is projected to be one of the major challenges faced by the ethyl acetate industry.
