Global Phthalic Anhydride Market: Growth Factors

The spike in demand from paints & coatings, buildings & construction, automotive, marine, electrical & electronics, and agricultural industries is driving the global phthalic anhydride market. Plasticizers are commonly made from phthalic anhydride. PVC producers employ around 90.0 percent of plasticizers to change the properties of their PVC products to meet the needs of the end customer. Physical features of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) include dimensional stability and strong strength at a low loss. Accelerated industrialization and modernization in developing countries such as India and China has resulted in a spike in demand for new dwellings in both rural and urban regions to accommodate the rising population.

As a result, the building and construction sector has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, resulting in an increase in demand for and production of PVC goods in these nations. Furthermore, rising demand for PVC in the automotive sector for dashboards and vehicle body parts such as car doors, wrapping electrical wires, and instrument panels is likely to boost phthalic anhydride demand throughout the projection period. Alkyd resins based on phthalic anhydride are also commonly employed in the manufacturing of solvent-based paints. The need for paints and coatings in architectural, equipment, furniture, and fixture applications has increased dramatically as a result of growing industrialization in developing nations such as India, China, and Brazil. All these factors are likely to drive the growth of the global phthalic anhydride market during the coming period.

The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the global phthalic anhydride market was moderate to low. The slow growth of the market during the pandemic period was attributed to low demand from end-use industries.
