Summary

The Japan acetonitrile market size reached 15,882 Tons in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 22,649 Tons by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4% during 2025-2033.

Acetonitrile is a highly volatile, colorless and flammable liquid, which is also known as methyl cyanide and ethanenitrile. It is commonly available in derivative and solvent variants and is used in acrylic nail removers, batteries and perfumes. It is also utilized as a medium-polarity and aprotic solvent in the natural synthesis and refinement of butadiene. Acetonitrile exhibits high chemical stability and eluting power and is compatible with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) solutions. In comparison to methanol, acetonitrile reacts endothermically with water and finds extensive applications across various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, automotive and agriculture.

The Japan acetonitrile market is primarily being driven by the widespread product adoption in the pharmaceutical industry. Acetonitrile is widely used as a starting material to synthesize vitamin A and B1, cortisones, carbonate drugs and amino acids. Moreover, the construction of new acetonitrile manufacturing plants in the country to provide a continuous product supply to various industries is providing a thrust to the market growth. Various product innovations, such as the launch of aqueous acetonitrile, which is used as an extraction solvent to synthesize pesticides and fertilizers, are favoring the market growth. Additionally, the increasing product demand in the automotive industry for producing acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic with enhanced mechanical strength and chemical resistance is positively impacting the market growth. Other factors, including significant growth in the agrochemical industry and the widespread product adoption for drug recrystallization, are anticipated to drive the market growth across the country.
