Earlier Report Observations

The acetone market in Poland contracted from 14 275 tonnes in 2018 to 11 714 tonnes in 2020. The decline in 2020 coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted supply chains and reduced industrial demand for chemicals.

A sharp recovery followed in 2021, with market volume jumping 38% to 16 197 tonnes. This surge was driven by the expansion of Poland's cosmetics industry, where acetone is used as a solvent in manufacturing, increasing domestic consumption.

Market growth continued, reaching 18 466 tonnes in 2024. Although domestic production declined, the market remained resilient despite inflationary pressures and higher energy costs that affected production expenses in 2022.
