Global Phthalic Anhydride Market, By Application (Plasticizers, Alkyd Resins, Unsaturated Polyester Resins, Others), By End-Use Industry (Automotive, Electrical and Electronics, Paints and Coatings, Plastics, Others), By Region (North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Rest of the World) – Market Size & Forecasting (2016-2025)

The Phthalic Anhydride Market is projected to register high demand during the forecast period with increasing demand from major end-use industries such as Increasing demand from various end-use industries during the forecast period.

Phthalic anhydride is an organic compound known as the C6H4 (CO)2O molecular formula. It is white, lustrous crystalline flakes or molten shape, with a distinctive pungent odor of shock. It is a type of phthalic acid commercially. It is made in concentrated sulfuric acid by oxidation of naphthalene in the presence of mercury sulfate. It is soluble in warm water, benzene, carbon disulfide and alcohol, and in water and ether it is mildly soluble.

Phthalic anhydride is widely used in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) phthalate plasticizers. Other major applications of phthalic anhydride include unsaturated polyester resins (UPR), alkyd resins, dyes & pigments, flame retardant, and others including inhibitors of rubber scorch, insecticide, herbicide, detergent, saccharin.

Increasing demand for phthalic anhydride goods is anticipated to increase market growth in multiple end-use sectors including paints & coatings, medical devices, home equipment and furnishings. Furthermore, its growing use in the manufacture of unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs), which are in turn used in the manufacture of fiberglass-reinforced plastics, is likely to boost demand in the coming years.

Growth is anticipated to drive increased demand for the item for the manufacture of strengthened laminates and surface coating sector. It is anticipated that rising demand for fiberglass in the building and automotive sectors will have a beneficial effect on UPR demand due to its lightweight property.

Key Factors Impacting Market Growth:

  • Increasing demand from various end-use industries

  • Increased use of polymers reinforced with glass fibre

  • The toxicity of phthalates is harmful
