A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Ketene
market. The study,
titled “Ketene
Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and
Forecast 2014 - 2020”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Ketene,
commonly known as ethonone is organic compound. Ketenes are
colorless, unsaturated ketones and are highly reactive in nature.
Ketene polymerizes readily and hence are not stored or shipped in
gaseous state. Most of the ketene manufactures use ketene for captive
consumption as it cannot be isolated and stored. Ketene is majorly
consumed in manufacturing of acetic anhydride and diketene. Diketene
is comparatively stable product and can be stored for weeks. Diketene
is used in manufacturing of derivatives such amides, anilides and
acetoacetic esters among others.

Ketene
is used in manufacturing of various derivatives such as chloroacetyl
chloride, sorbic acid and cinnamic acids among others. Both ketene
and diketene are mostly used for the captive consumption or at the
production sites due to their ability to undergo uncontrolled
polymerization. On the basis of substitution by functional groups,
the market for ketene can be classified as carbon substituted
ketenes, oxygen substituted ketenes, nitrogen substituted ketenes and
halogen substituted ketenes.
The
market for ketene was mainly driven by acetic anhydride and diketene
market. Acetic anhydride is used in manufacturing of cellulose
acetates. Cellulose acetate flakes are used in producing plastics,
cigarette filters and filament yarns among others. Acetic anhydride
finds applications in various end-user industries such as aromatics,
agrochemicals, pharmaceutical and beverages among others. Diketene is
used in manufacturing of derivative such as amides and anilines which
are used in manufacturing of pigments and dyestuffs.
Ketene
is used as replacement for polycarbonates, eliminating the usage of
bisphenol A, considered as hazardous to health. Diketene derivatives
such as diketene esters are used in various applications such as
pharmaceutical, cosmetics, plasticizers, vitamin supplements and
pigments among others. In medical and healthcare industry, ketenes
are used in chemotherapy drugs which are to be targeted at a
particular site. Ketenes also find appellations in wire and cables,
piping and inks among others. However, environmental restrictions
coupled health regulations associated with ketene industry are
anticipated to hider the growth of the market in next few years.
In
2013, Asia Pacific had the highest demand for ketene amongst all
regions. Asia Pacific is also considered among fastest growing
markets for ketene due to increasing demand acetic anhydride and
diketene and its derivatives in this region. China had the highest
demand for Ketene in Asia Pacific region. Huge acetic anhydride
industry is driving the demand for ketene in this region. India,
Taiwan and Japan are among other Asian countries which are likely to
provide better growth opportunity for ketene market in next few years
to come. In terms of demand, Asia Pacific was followed by North
America.

Increasing
demand of acetic anhydride and diketene from industries such as
pharmaceutical aromatics, cellulose acetate and pigments is driving
the demand in this region. U.S. had the largest demand for ketene
owing to huge demand for cellulose acetate flakes in the market.
Europe had the third largest demand for ketene market in 2013.
Western Europe is one of the largest consumers of ketene and is
expected to follow similar trend over forecast period. However,
stringent regulations from REACH and EU are likely to hinder the
growth of the market in near future. Rest of the World market is
anticipated to minimal growth for the ketene market in near future.
Central and South America had the minimal demand for ketene among all
regions.
Some
of the key manufacturers in the ketene market are Lonza Group, Kemira
Oyj and Daicel Corporation among others.
