Phthalic Anhydride Market: 6.6% CAGR, Asia Pacific Leading Growth

Phthalic Anhydride Market Expected to Grow Strongly due to Increasing Demand from Plasticizers and Construction Industry

Global Phthalic Anhydride Market Size is projected to register a significant CAGR of over 6.6% during the forecast period. Furthermore, the growing usage of plasticizers, unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs), alkyd resins, are also contributing to the growth of the market. The increasing phthalic anhydride consumption can also be attributed to the rapid growth of the construction, automotive, and electrical sectors.

Factors that Enhance Market Growth and Potential

It is a key industrial chemical used mainly in the development of plasticizers, resins, and dyes. The market is primarily driven by the following factors:

Increasing Demand for Plasticizers in PVC Industry: Phthalic anhydride is used extensively in the production of phthalate plasticizers, which are used to improve the flexibility of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products. Market dynamics are driven by the rising use of PVC in the aerospace, construction, automotive, and packaging sectors.

Growth in the Construction Sector: The demand for UPRs and alkyd resins (two products of phthalic anhydride) is on the rise, due to rapid urbanization and global infrastructure development. Used widely in paints, coatings, and fiberglass-reinforced plastics.

Growing Usage in Electrical & Electronics Industry: Phthalic anhydride derivatives are crucial for the production of polyester resins and insulating materials, all of which are utilized in the manufacturing of electrical components, transformers, and printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Market’s Gradual Evolution Towards Biobased Plasticizers: The market for these plasticizers is gradually evolving from the conventional phthalate plasticizers towards bio-based plasticizers, since there is increasing interest in using biobased materials. And this transition unlocks an enormous potential for innovation in the phthalic anhydride market.

Necessity of Coatings and Paints Industry: Industrial Coatings Alkyd resins are important as latex paint additives, and high-performance paints, industrial coatings, and varnishes are obtained from phthalic anhydride. Demand for these coatings is up as a result of booming construction and industrial sectors.

Segmentation Analysis

On the basis of application, production process, and end-user industry, the Global Phthalic Anhydride Market is segmented.

By Application:

Plasticizers — The largest segment due to the growing demand for PVC-based products from construction and automotive industry as well as the consumer goods market. Over 80% of phthalic anhydride consumption across the globe is as plasticisers.

Unsaturated Polyester Resins (UPRs) — These resins find extensive use in marine, construction, and automotive applications to produce fiberglass-reinforced plastics, composite materials, and gel coatings.

Alkyd Resins: Widely used in paint formulations, industrial coatings, and printing inks, alkyd resins significantly drive the growth of the coatings industry.

Flame Retardants & Pigments: Phthalic anhydride is another feedstock used to produce flame-retardant substances, as well as synthetic dyes and pigments, which are then employed in textiles, plastics, and paints.

By Production Process:

O-xylene Catalytic Oxidation: The most widely used production process owing to its high efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Oxidation of Naphthalene: This reaction is increasingly used for making phthalic anhydride, especially in areas with large naphthalene availability, where this route can be a competing process.

By End-User Industry:

Construction: When it comes to infrastructure and buildings, phthalic anhydride is best known in plastics, resins and coatings, making the industry its number one consumer.

Automotive: The rise in the use of lightweight and corrosion-resistant materials within automotive manufacturing is boosting phthalic anhydride consumption.

Electrical & Electronics: Used in insulation, cables, and electronic components requiring heat and wear resistance.

Textiles & Packaging: Increasing utilization of synthetic dyes and flexible packaging organisms is fuelling the market growth.
