I-acetone iyinhlanganisela yamakhemikhali esetshenziswa kakhulu, evame ukusetshenziswa ekukhiqizeni ipulasitiki, i-fiberglass, upende, ingcina, neminye imikhiqizo eminingi yezimboni. Ngakho-ke, umthamo wokukhiqiza we-acetone mkhulu kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, inani elithile le-acetone elikhiqizwa ngonyaka kunzima ukulilinganisa ngokunembile, ngoba lithintwa izinto eziningi njengesidingo se-acetone emakethe, intengo ye-acetone, ukusebenza kahle kokukhiqizwa, kanye nokunye. Ngakho-ke, le ndatshana ingalinganisela kuphela umthamo wokukhiqiza we-acetone ngonyaka ngokuya ngedatha nemibiko efanele.

Ngokusho kwedatha ethile, umthamo wokukhiqizwa kwe-acetone emhlabeni wonke ngo-2019 wawucishe ube ngamathani ayizigidi ezi-3.6, kanti isidingo se-acetone emakethe sasicishe sibe yizigidi ezi-3.3 zamathani. Ngo-2020, umthamo wokukhiqizwa kwe-acetone eChina wawucishe ube ngamathani ayizigidi eziyi-1.47, futhi isidingo semakethe sasicishe sibe ngamathani ayizigidi eziyi-1.26. Ngakho-ke, kungalinganiselwa ukuthi umthamo wokukhiqiza we-acetone ngonyaka uphakathi kwamathani ayizigidi ezi-1 nezingu-1.5 emhlabeni jikelele.

Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi lokhu kuwukulinganisa kuphela okuqinile komthamo wokukhiqiza we-acetone ngonyaka. Isimo sangempela singase sehluke kakhulu kulesi. Uma ufuna ukwazi umthamo onembile wokukhiqiza we-acetone ngonyaka, udinga ukubonisana nedatha efanele nemibiko embonini.
