Maleic
anhydride is an organic compound with formula C2H2 (CO) 2O. It is an acid
anhydride of maleic acid. It is a white or colorless solid with an acrid odor. It
is versatile chemical intermediate, used to produce tetrahydrofuran (THF), 1,4-butanediol,
and gamma-butyrolactone (GBL). Its molecular structure makes it an excellent
crosslinking & conjunction agent. It is soluble in alcohol, acetone &
ether and insoluble in carbon tetrachloride & petroleum ether. It is
used as an additive in lubricants for increasing the engine’s performance &
efficiency by protecting it from scaling & corrosion. It is also used as a corrosion
inhibitor in gasoline and as a dispersant in crank oil.

Based
on type, maleic anhydride market is segmented into molten maleic anhydride and
solid maleic anhydride. Based on raw material, market is segmented into benzene
and n-butane. N-butane is used in the production of maleic anhydride, synthetic
rubber, ethylene, and acetic acid and its by-products. N-butane holds
significant share in market owing to environment friendly nature and low
production cost. Based on application, market is segmented into copolymers,
alkenyl succinic anhydrides, Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR), additives (lubricants
& oil), fumeric acid, malic acid and others. UPR is widely used as body
filler for reconstruction & repair of damaged parts of vehicles. In addition,
based on end-use industry, market is segmented into automotive, textile,
personal care, construction, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, agriculture
and others.
The
maleic anhydride market is driven by growth in demand from lubricant & automotive
industries, followed by rise in demand for UPR, increase in disposable income,
rise in consumer spending on personal care product and growth of end-user
industries in emerging nations. However, increase in government regulations may
impact the market. Moreover, upcoming plant projects & involvement of huge
capital expenditure and commercialization of bio-based maleic anhydride are key
opportunities for market.
Based
on geography, China country holds major share in maleic anhydride market owing
to growth in automotive & construction industries, low labor & transportation
costs and easy availability of land & raw materials in the country. The EU
and USA are expected to witness higher growth rate due to rise in oil & gas
industry and increase in demand for fuel-efficient vehicles over the forecast
period. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of approximately
8.9% over the next five years, will reach US $3730 million in 2024, from US $2240
million in 2019.
