Acetonitrile Market: Global Production Capacity will reach to 271,800 Tons in 2019
2019 acetonitrile market is released by HDIN Research. This report covers 33 producers around the world.
Acetonitrile is colourless liquid which is mainly produced as a byproduct of acrylonitrile. It is also can be produced by acetic acid ammonolysis. Acetonitrile is a very important chemical raw material which is used in the field of pharmaceutical, laboratory regent and pesticide.

There are two production routing for acetonitrile: byproduct of acrylonitrile and acetic acid ammonolysis. Byproduct of acrylonitrile is the most import production method of acetonitrile, but the production volume depend on the demand of acrylonitrile. Acetic acid ammonolysis method does not have this problem, but the cost of this method is higher than that of byproduct of acrylonitrile.
