Global Methyl Acetate Market Insights, Forecast to 2025

Propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA/PMA), also known as propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, is a colorless hygroscopic liquid with a special odor. It is a non-polluting solvent with multi-functional groups. Its molecular formula is C6H12O3. It is mainly used as a solvent for printing ink, paint, textile dyes, and textile oil. The electronic grade, which is further purified, can be used as the photoresist solvent and cleaning agent in the production of semiconductor and liquid crystal displays. PGMEA/PMA is flammable, and when the temperature is above 42°C, it may form explosive vapor/air mixture.
Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether Acetate (PGMEA) for Electronic Materials production market is relatively concentrated. Europe is the Major Production area as well as the leading consumption market. However, small players in other areas like China and Japan are growing fast in recent years, and they are seeing to keep the growing trend in the next forecast decade.
Global total consumption volume has reached 43.2 K MT in 2016, with CAGR of 9.42% in 2012-2017, market revenue was forecasted to reach 163.97 Million USD in 2022, with CAGR of 7.76% in 2012-2022. Europe, USA, Korea and Taiwan are the biggest consumption areas, Europe dominated over 30% of total electronic grade propylene glycol methyl ether acetate market.

3. Raw material cost is the biggest cost section for electronic grade propylene glycol methyl ether acetate manufacturing. Propylene glycol methyl ether (PM solvent), the main direct upstream material, are mostly supplied by PGMEA producer themselves. Dow, Shell Chemicals, LyondellBasell and Eastman Chemical are the leading players in global market, Dynamic Tianyin, Jiangsu Hualun, Baichuan Stock, Yida and Ruijia Chemistry are key players in China production market.

Price of Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether Acetate (PGMEA) for Electronic Materials fluctuated obviously in 2013-2016, due to the upward trend of PM solvent, the PGMEA price is forecasted to keep a growing trend in next few years.

The end-use market for electronic grade propylene glycol methyl ether acetate is huge, manufacturing process and technologies are still improving. We tend to believe this industry is a rising industry, and the consumption increasing degree will show a smooth growth curve.

On the whole market overview, this is a market with intense competition and lots of customers, small players without enough financial and technology support should take cautious entering this market.
