The global acetic anhydride market was valued at $3,476.1 million in 2019, and the market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.3% during 2020–2030, ultimately reaching $4,950.4 million.
Some of the most-important growth factors include the rapid expansion of the pharmaceutical sector in the APAC region and a rise in the number of geriatric patients. Acetic anhydride is used to produce aspirin, which is used to treat fever and the condition of mild muscle pain, which is quite common in elderly people.
Based on application, the largest size in the acetic anhydride market in 2019 was attributed to the synthesizers category. This is credited to the high-volume consumption of the chemical to produce cellulose acetate. The demand for cellulose acetate is increasing due to its usage in the automotive and plastics sectors. To meet the surging requirement for cellulose acetate from these sectors, the consumption of the chemical compound in the production of cellulose acetate is predicted to rise.
The APAC region generated the highest revenue in the market in 2019, and this trend will continue during the upcoming years as well. This can be majorly credited to the rising production of cellulose acetate, which requires the compound as a synthesizer. There is rapid growth in the demand for cellulose acetate because of its use in plastic manufacturing. Tows, cigarettes, and textile fibers are widely used throughout the world. Around the world, China is the largest consumer and producer of cigarettes.
Hence, the market is expected to grow with the increasing consumption of cigarettes and a rise in the elderly population.
