Para-Hydroxyacetophenone Market
The Para-Hydroxyacetophenone market size is forecasted to reach US$650 million by 2027 after growing at a CAGR of around 4.1% from 2022 to 2027. The para-hydroxyacetophenone is a white needle-like crystal that is flammable and easily soluble in acetone, benzene and others. The para-hydroxyacetophenone is used in the organic synthesis alongside the reagents such as acetic anhydride, bromobenzene and others across various end-use industries. The para-hydroxyacetophenone has major application in the pharmaceutical sector for drug manufacture and synthesis, thereby creating a drive in the para-hydroxyacetophenone market. Furthermore, the increase in the application of para-hydroxyacetophenone as a preservative, aromatic aldehyde and synthesis across major end-use industries will offer major growth opportunities in the para-hydroxyacetophenone market during the forecast period.
Para-Hydroxyacetophenone Market COVID-19 Impact
The global Para-Hydroxyacetophenone market was majorly impacted by the covid-19 outbreak. The para-hydroxyacetophenone has major demand in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and other sectors. The disruption in production, demand and supply chain gap, logistics disturbances and other lockdown restrictions led to a major fall in the market. The healthcare supply chain was disturbed during the pandemic due to restrictions in medical production, high demand, low supply chain trend and disrupted healthcare infrastructure. According to the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the prescription drug spending in the U.S. was US$ 348.4 billion in 2020, which is 4.2% slower compared to the value in 2019. The healthcare emergency and fall in the growth of the pharmaceutical industry led to a decline in the application of para-hydroxyacetophenone for drug manufacture, synthesis and others. Thus, with a slowdown in major end-use industries during a pandemic, the para-hydroxyacetophenone market saw a fall in growth prospects. However, with recovery in the medical system and drug development in post-pandemic phase, the para-hydroxyacetophenone industry will grow rapidly.
