Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2024-2036

Cyclic Ketones Market size is expected to cross USD 3 Billion by the end of 2036, expanding around 6% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., 2024-2036. In the year 2023, the industry size of cyclic ketones was over 500 Million. Due to the fact that most ketones are cyclic, large synthetic derivatives such as cyclohexanol and cyclopentanol have great potential for use in different chemical industries. Increasing demand for the most common types of polymer such as nylon, used in sporting clothing and gym equipment, is driving the demand for cyclic ketones in textile production.

Demand for cyclohexanone is also expected to increase as a functional group, where it acts as an intermediate and is consumed to produce precursors such as caprolactam and adipic acid. The growing demand for cyclohexanone, mainly as a chemical intermediate and solvent for various lacquers such as paints and plastics, is expected to increase in the coming years.

Cyclic Ketones Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • High Demand in End User Sector - The compound cyclopentanone is the main driver for the cyclic ketones market as it has several applications in the synthesis of several chemical compounds in the pharmaceutical industry and its use as a flavoring chemical in the industry of perfumes and fragrances. During the projected period, growth in other end-use industries such as rubber products, pesticides, and increasing use in pharmaceuticals is expected to fuel cyclopentanone, due to which should benefit the cyclical ketone market.
  • Integration of Sustainable Energy Goals - Various international business associations and government regulators have started drawing up time-bound targets to achieve the adoption of sustainable energy sources from biofuels due to the high use of depleting nonrenewable fossil fuels such as petrol, diesel, or gas which has caused worries about pollution. The development of new fuels that would be ideal energy sources for combustion engines, which could also lead to higher engine performance and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is being pursued by major players in the energy sector. Given that cyclic ketones are a biofuel with high resistance to auto dependence, which can further improve engine performance and reduce unhealthy emissions by future potential alternatives to petroleum-based fuels, this might be one of the possibilities for possible alternative fuel sources.

Challenges

  • Fluctuation in Raw Material – The prices of raw materials used to produce cyclic ketones can fluctuate substantially that can impact the profitability of manufacturers. Furthermore, this is predicted to hamper the market expansion in the projected time period.
  • Environmental Regulations are Expected to Pose Limitation on the Market Growth in the Upcoming Period
  • High Production Cost is another Factor Hampering the Market Growth During the Estimated Period.
