Global Acetylene Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029
Acetylene, the molecular formula C2H2, commonly known as wind coal and calcium carbide gas, is the smallest member of the alkyne compound series, mainly for industrial purposes, especially for welding metals. Acetylene is a colorless, highly flammable gas at room temperature.
Market Overview:The latest research study on the global Acetylene market finds that the global Acetylene market reached a value of USD 2653.53 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 3043.9 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.31% during the forecast period.
Opportunities and Drivers
Acetylene is chemically active and can react with many reagents. So far, acetylene is one of the most important raw materials for organic synthesis, such as addition with hydrogen chloride, hydrocyanic acid, and acetic acid, can produce raw materials for the production of high polymers. The growing demand for acetylene gas used in the production of chemicals is one of the most important driving forces and has a positive impact on the market. Secondly, acetylene gas has the highest flame temperature among hydrocarbons, so it can be used for welding and cutting of metal products. In the forecast, the application of metal welding is increasing year by year. More and more cutting and welding applications will promote the growth of the acetylene gas market. In addition, the main end-user industries of acetylene gas include automobiles, metal manufacturing, aerospace, pharmaceuticals and glass. Therefore, High performance large downstream applications is one of the important factors driving the development of this market.
With the development of Internet technology, many chemical manufacturers are using IoT (Internet of Things) technology to connect devices and smart devices to gain real-time insights and identify gaps in the manufacturing process. The data obtained through these devices is processed, analyzed and interpreted by factory managers and senior management to improve quality and achieve optimal production levels. The development of technology will greatly improve the production level and build an effective management mechanism.
