Acetaldehyde is also called ethanal or MeCHO, a colourless gas or liquid carbonyl compound. It is produced naturally in plants or on a large scale in industries for its commercial application. It is naturally present in coffee and ripe fruits. However, the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme is largely used in partially oxidizing ethanol and ethylene processes used in commercial production. Primarily, it serves as a precursor and intermediate in synthesizing many compounds, including crotonaldehyde, pentaerythritol, acetic acid, and pyridines.
It is a major building component utilized in synthesizing pyridine when combined with formaldehyde. It is also used as a starting material in the Hantzsch synthesis process, which produces pyridine. Due to its water miscibility and alkaline nature, it is favoured for synthesizing numerous vital substances, including pharmaceuticals, vitamins, and agrochemicals. Significant increases in the demand for pharmaceuticals, vitamins, and agrochemicals will provide the market with lucrative growth opportunities.
China plays a crucial role in global generic drug production. The expansion of generic drug manufacturing can increase demand for chemical intermediates, including those derived from acetaldehyde, in producing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in the region. The growing focus on biopharmaceuticals and biotechnology in China drives innovation in drug development. As per China.org, in 2021, the combined business revenue of China's pharmaceutical companies increased by 18.7 percent annually, the greatest growth rate in five years. All these factors will uplift the regional market’s expansion in coming years.
