Acetyls or acyls are functional group organic compounds with the chemical formula CH3CO. The Acetyl or acyl group contains a methyl group single-bonded to a carbonyl. The carbonyl center of an acyl compound has one non-bonded electron with which chemical bonds with alkyl groups are formed. Ethanoyl is the IUPAC name of acyl. Often known as the acetyl moiety, it is present in acetic acid, acetylcholine, acetyl-CoA, acetylcysteine, acetaminophen and acetylsalicylic acid. Acetylation is the chemical process of introduction of an acetyl group into a molecule. Acyls are used in the modification of histones and proteins.
The acetyl groups of acetic acid, vinyl acetate and acetic anhydride are used as intermediates in a wide range of applications such as solvents to adhesives and water-based paints to cellulose acetate. The other applications of acetyls include pain-relieving pharmaceuticals, modified starches, emulsifiers, liquid crystal polymers and dyestuffs. The global acetyl market is projected to register above average CAGR in terms of value during the forecast period. The global acetyl market is expected to be dominated by acetic acid product segment.
The acetyls market is expected to reach US$ 26,492.0 million in 2022 and grow at a modest CAGR of 5.1% over the course of the forecast period. By 2032, the market is projected to increase in size and reach US$ 43,565.4 million. In recent years, a CAGR of 4.3% has been observed historically.
