Acetonitrile is a lethal and colorless solvent, which is also known as methyl cyanide and ethanenitrile. It is a small and simple organic nitrile produced in the form of acrylonitrile and has an ether-like odor. It is commonly available in derivative and solvent variants and is used as an aprotic solvent in the natural synthesis and refinement of butadiene. Acetonitrile is also used in perfumes, acrylic nail removers, batteries and to extract fatty acids from animal and vegetable oils. It is a strong solvent, easily soluble in water and has high chemical stability. In comparison to the traditionally used methanol, acetonitrile reacts endothermically with water and has higher elution strength. As a result, it finds extensive applications across various industries, such as pharmaceutical, automotive and agriculture.
The India acetonitrile market is primarily being driven by its widespread adoption as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry to produce antibiotics and insulin. Moreover, the implementation of various government initiatives, such as National Food Security Mission (NFSM), is leading to the increasing demand for acetonitrile-based agrochemicals, which, in turn, is favoring the market growth. Acetonitrile is also used for synthesizing artificial pesticides and fertilizers and acts as an inert ingredient in pesticides. Additionally, the increasing product utilization as a solvent in liquid chromatography to influence the interaction between sample components and adsorbents in chiral systems is positively impacting the market growth. Other factors, including rising product demand in the chemical processing industry, along with the increasing utilization of acetonitrile for recrystallization of medical drugs, are anticipated to drive the market growth across the country.

The India acetonitrile market reached a volume of 20,004.5 Tons in 2024.
We expect the India acetonitrile market to exhibit a CAGR of 5.31% during 2025-2033.
The rising demand for acetonitrile across various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and automotive, as it has excellent chemical stability, water solubility, and miscibility with alcohol, acetone, and epoxy resin, is primarily driving the India acetonitrile market.
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had led to the implementation of stringent lockdown regulations across the nation, resulting in the temporary closure of numerous end-use industries for acetonitrile.
Based on the end use, the India acetonitrile market can be segmented into pharmaceuticals, analytical industry, agrochemicals, extraction industry, and others. Currently, pharmaceuticals hold the largest market share.
On a regional level, the market has been classified into North India, West and Central India, South India, and East India, where South India currently dominates the India acetonitrile market.
