Acetaldehyde is an aldehyde produced by reducing carboxyl group in acetic acid. In tobacco smoke, it is the most prevalent carcinogen. It is one of the most important aldehydes occurring widely in nature and manufactured in enormous quantities in industries. Acetaldehyde is most commonly used as an intermediary in production of several compounds. It is formed in the body from the breakdown of ethanol and is abundant in the environment. It is primarily used in manufacture of polyester resins, perfumes, and basic dyes. Moreover, it is also used for a variety of other purposes including gelatin hardening, alcohol denaturation, fruit & fish preservation, flavoring, fuel compositions, and as a catalyst in rubber, tanning, and paper industries.

Market scope and Structure Analysis

Covid-19 Impact Analysis

• Due to government-imposed lockdowns, travel bans, and company shutdowns, the COVID-19 pandemic is wreaking havoc on economies and businesses in a number of countries.
