Maleic Anhydride Market Research, Key Players, Analysis And Forecast 2025: Grand View Research Inc.
The global maleic
anhydride market size is
projected to reach USD 4.38 billion by
2025 registering a CAGR of 6.7%,
according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Maleic anhydride is used
to manufacture 1,4-Butanediol (BDO), which has a high demand from the textile
industry and the manufacturers of Tetrahydrofuran (THF) and Polyurethane (PU).
1,4-BDO is an organic compound used as an industrial solvent & cleaner and
glue remover.
It is a key raw material for
manufacturing spandex via producing polytetramethylene ether glycol. 1,4-BDO
has majorly replaced rubber in most textile applications, such as foundation
garments, girdles, suspenders, waistbands, hosiery, and socks. One of its major
products, spandex, is widely used for manufacturing stretchable clothing as it
is flexible and durable. Increasing demand for fibers with ‘memory’ and
high-quality blends that offer suppleness and comfort to leather products has
driven the demand for 1,4-BDO.
The European market is expected to
witness a steady growth owing to rising demand in end-use industries and
innovation in the lubricant sector. The thriving marine activities in the
region are expected to boost demand for marine lubricants. Growing construction
sector in Eastern Europe will further augment the demand for maleic anhydride.
The molecular structure of MAN makes
it an excellent crosslinking and conjunction agent. It also forms an integral
structural component in industrial copolymers. In terms of consumption, the
U.S. leads the market in North America. High demand for UPR and additives in
building & constructions coupled with technological advancement in
manufacturing technologies has been the major driving factor. Product demand in
the U.S. is primarily driven by the refurbishment of the existing
infrastructure. The growth is further supported by the U.S. government’s
efforts to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Maleic anhydride is used
to manufacture 1,4-butanediol (BDO) by Davy Process Technology (DPT).

In this process, MAN is converted to
the ester, which then undergoes fixed-bed hydrogenolysis to make a mixture of
BDO, Tetrahydrofuran (THF), and GBL. BDO is an intermediate chemical for THF,
Polytetramethylene Ether Glycol (PTMEG), Gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL),
Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), and Polyurethane (PU). These chemicals are
widely used in engineering plastics, fibers, medicines, artificial leather,
cosmetics, pesticides, hardener, plasticizers, solvent, and rust remover.
Increasing cases of car accidents on a global level are expected to propel the
demand for UPR as they help repair dents caused during accidents.
