什麼是乙酸?
醋酸,又稱甲烷羧酸、醋酸,是一種有刺激性氣味、有酸味的液體。它可以透過發酵、乙醇氧化或化學合成來生產。它也可以透過碳水化合物和脂肪的分解來製造,有助於將血液的酸度維持在狹窄的範圍內。其特徵是透明、無色液體,具有強烈的醋味,對組織和金屬有腐蝕性。它是一種極性溶劑,可以溶解許多極性和非極性化合物。與醇反應生成酯,與金屬反應生成乙酸鹽,與鹼反應生成乙酸鹽。它在某些醫藥產品(如維生素、抗生素和其他藥物)的生產中用作溶劑。它也用作合成活性藥物成分 (API) 的試劑,例如乙醯水楊水楊酸(阿斯匹靈)和對乙醯氨基酚。
COVID-19大流行的爆發對醋酸產業造成了重大影響,給許多國家帶來了前所未有的挑戰。乙酸需求減少主要是由於工業活動放緩和許多製造廠關閉。這次疫情嚴重影響了紡織、汽車和建築等產業,這些產業是醋酸的主要消費領域。這導致乙酸的產量和消耗量顯著減少。疫情對醋酸產業的影響也反映在供應鏈中斷上。運輸和物流的限制擾亂了原料供應和成品交付,導致醋酸產量減少。邊境關閉和國際貿易減少也對該行業產生了重大影響。儘管該行業面臨挑戰,但一些公司能夠適應不斷變化的市場條件。他們實現產品供應多元化,並專注於生產大流行期間需求量大的其他化學品,例如消毒劑和消毒劑。
擴大使用乙酸作為生產各種化學品(包括乙酸乙烯酯、乙酸酐和乙酸酯)的原料,加上化學工業的顯著成長,這是加強全球市場成長的主要因素之一。此外,醋酸在塗料、潤滑脂、聚酯和密封劑製造中的使用不斷增加,應用於電子、汽車、紡織和包裝等不同垂直行業,有利於市場的成長。此外,乙酸在加工食品的製備、儲存和保存中的使用不斷增加,對市場產生了積極影響。除此之外,由於輕質且可回收的聚對苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)瓶的日益普及,擴大採用乙酸來生產精對苯二甲酸(PTA),這也促進了市場的成長。此外,汽車工業擴大採用乙酸來生產防凍液和冷卻液。再加上快速城市化和收入水平上漲導致豪華車銷量不斷成長,正在為市場創造積極的前景。除此之外,醋的消費量不斷增加,因為它有助於促進體重管理、維持血壓、調節血糖和膽固醇水平,從而刺激了醋生產中對乙酸的需求。此外,領先的製造商正在投資研發 (R&D) 項目,以最大限度地減少能源消耗、降低整體營運成本並確保提高生產效率。

What is Acetic Acid?
Acetic acid, also known as methane carboxylic acid and ethanoic acid, is a pungent-smelling liquid that has a sour taste. It can be produced by fermentation, oxidation of ethanol, or by chemical synthesis. It can also be manufactured by the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats, and it helps to maintain the acidity of the blood within a narrow range. It is characterized by a clear, colorless liquid, has a strong odor of vinegar and is corrosive to tissues and metals. It is a polar solvent and can dissolve many polar and nonpolar compounds. It can react with alcohols to form esters, with metals to form acetates, and with bases to form acetate salts. It is used as a solvent in the production of certain pharmaceutical products, such as vitamins, antibiotics, and other drugs. It is also utilized as a reagent in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), such as acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and acetaminophen.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a significant impact on the acetic acid industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. The reduced demand for acetic acid was primarily due to the slowdown in industrial activities and the closure of many manufacturing plants. The pandemic severely affected industries, such as textiles, automotive, and construction, which are major consumers of acetic acid. This led to a significant reduction in the production and consumption of acetic acid. The impact of the pandemic on the acetic acid industry was also felt in terms of supply chain disruptions. The restrictions on transportation and logistics disrupted the supply of raw materials and the delivery of finished products, leading to a decrease in the production of acetic acid. The closure of borders and the decrease in international trade also had a significant impact on the industry. Despite the challenges faced by the industry, some companies were able to adapt to the changing market conditions. They diversified their product offerings and focused on the production of other chemicals that were in high demand during the pandemic, such as sanitizers and disinfectants.
The increasing use of acetic acid as a feedstock in the production of various chemicals, including vinyl acetate, acetic anhydride, and acetate esters, in confluence with significant growth in the chemical industry, represents one of the major factors strengthening the market growth around the world. Moreover, the rising utilization of acetic acid in the manufacturing of coatings, greases, polyesters, and sealants, which finds application in different industry verticals, such as electronics, automobiles, textiles, and packaging, is favoring the growth of the market. In addition, the growing usage of acetic acid in the preparation, storage, and preservation of processed food products is influencing the market positively. Apart from this, the increasing adoption of acetic acid for producing purified terephthalic acid (PTA) on account of the rising popularity of lightweight and recyclable polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles is contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, there is an increase in the adoption of acetic acid in the automotive industry for producing anti freeze and coolant fluids. This, coupled with the growing sales of luxury vehicles on account of rapid urbanization and inflating income levels is creating a positive outlook for the market. Besides this, the rising consumption of vinegar as it helps in promoting weight management, maintaining blood pressure, and regulating blood sugar and cholesterol levels, is catalyzing the demand for acetic acid in the manufacturing of vinegar. Additionally, leading manufacturers are investing in research and development (R&D) projects to minimize energy consumption, lower overall operating costs and ensure increased production efficiency.
