Acetonitrile is the synthetic compound with the equation CH 3CN. This dry fluid is the easiest natural nitrile (hydrogen cyanide is an easier nitrile, but the cyanide anion isn't not categorized under natural compounds) to synthesize. It is delivered for the most part as a result of acrylonitrile fabricate. It is utilized as a polar aprotic dissolvable in natural amalgamation and in butadiene refinement. It is utilized in the production of pharmaceuticals, scents, elastic items, pesticides, acrylic nail removers, and batteries. It is likewise used to remove unsaturated fats from animal and vegetable oils. On the basis of type, the acetonitrile market is segmented into derivative and solvent. In 2018, the solvent segment dominated the market with a larger share of the total market. Acetonitrile is used as a solvent in pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnological applications, specialty chemicals industries, electronics industry, and HPLC applications, and a strong demand from these applications drives the market growth. However, the derivative segment is expected to register a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Based on application, the acetonitrile market is categorized into pharmaceuticals, analytical industry, agrochemical, extraction, and others. The pharmaceutical segment accounted for the major share of the global acetonitrile market in 2018. The high demand of acetonitrile is attributed to its impeccable solvation ability for a wide range of polar and non-polar solutes, and physical properties such as low freezing/boiling points, low viscosity, and relatively low toxicity. Currently, the pharmaceuticals industry has two primary uses of acetonitrile—first, acetonitrile is used in laboratories, particularly as a mobile phase in liquid chromatography analytical techniques; and second, it is used as solvent in industrial processes, such as manufacturing of antibiotics, vitamin B1, sulfa pyrimidine, and other APIs.

The world is currently suffering through the Covid-19 pandemic that began in Wuhan (China) in December 2019; since then, it has spread across the globe at a fast pace. China, Italy, Iran, Spain, the Republic of Korea, France, Germany, and the US are among the worst-affected countries in terms of confirmed cases and reported deaths as of April 2020. According to the latest WHO figures, the pandemic has led to ~2,719,896 confirmed cases and 187,705 total deaths globally. Covid-19 has affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The global chemical and materials industry is one of the major industries facing serious disruptions such as breaks in supply chains and disruptions in manufacturing due to lockdown and office shutdowns. Thus, the pandemic has seriously hit the global acetonitrile market.

The global acetonitrile market is a concentrated one, with a few very well-established players. Anqore BV, Concord Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Formosa Plastic Corporation, Honeywell International Inc, Imperial Chemical Corporation, Ineos AG, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Nova Molecular Technologies, Taekwang Industrial Co. Ltd., and Tedia Company are among the major players operating in the global acetonitrile market .
