Solvent uses accounted for about 33% of global acetone consumption in 2007, followed by methyl methacrylate with 26% and bisphenol A with 21% of total consumption.  Other applications for acetone include acetone cyanohydrin and isopropyl alcohol.  The following pie chart shows world consumption of acetone by end use:
