Global Acetaldehyde Market Report
Market Overview
Acetaldehyde (ethanal, CH₃CHO) is one of the most important aldehydes, widely occurring in nature and produced on an industrial scale. It is found naturally in coffee, bread, ripe fruits, and is a byproduct of plant metabolism. Industrially, acetaldehyde is produced primarily through the oxidation of ethanol or ethylene.
The compound is a critical intermediate in the production of acetic acid, pyridine, pentaerythritol, acetate esters, and other chemicals. Despite its toxicity and handling challenges, acetaldehyde remains a vital building block for downstream industries.
