Maleic Anhydride Market Overview
The global maleic anhydride market is expected to reach a valuation of USD 3.4 billion by 2030 from its previous market worth of USD 2.8 billion in 2019 at a 6.68% CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2030). Maleic anhydride is a chemical molecule with the formula C2H2(CO)2O. It's the maleic acid anhydride. It's a colorless or white substance with an unpleasant odor. It is manufactured on a big scale for use in coatings and polymers. It's used to make unsaturated polyester resin, as well as coatings, pharmaceutics, agricultural products, surfactants, and as a plastics additive. Maleic anhydride is a highly reactive chemical intermediate that has applications in almost all fields of industrial chemistry.
With the booming coating and polymer industries, the global maleic anhydride market is predicted to grow extensively. At the same time, the growing automobile industry is affecting the maleic anhydride market. Lubricant is required not just during manufacture but also afterward in the automotive industry for smooth operation. This demonstrates the market's potential for penetration and profit maximization. Region-wise, Asia Pacific has the biggest market share due to rapid growth in the automotive and construction industries.
Segmentation: By raw material, the maleic anhydride market can be segmented into n-Butane and benzene, of which n-Butane can be attributed with the maximum market share as of 2017.
Application-wise, the maleic anhydride market can be segmented into unsaturated polyester resin (UPR), copolymers, lubricant additives, alkenyl succinic anhydrides, malic acid, fumaric acid, and others. UPR segment, as of 2017, is dominating the market, whereas copolymers are expected to record the fastest growth rate during the forecast period.
Based on end-users, the maleic anhydride market comprises construction, automotive, food & beverages, textile, pharmaceuticals, personal care, agriculture, and others. The construction sector is way ahead of its peers in terms of revenue-generated in 2017.
Regional Analysis: Asia Pacific (APAC) has the largest market share as per the report published in 2017. The regional market largely banks on the speeding growth of the automotive industry and construction sector that is rapidly cementing its market foothold. India, China, and Indonesia are going to gain the most from such a handshake between industries. With the prediction of the regional market’s scope to achieve the maximum CAGR, the warmth of this partnership shared among industries can be felt quite easily. Furthermore, the lubricant market is also showing positive signs of growth in emerging economies such as Thailand.
Europe’s market boom can also be traced back to its contribution in automotive and construction sectors. However, the construction sector is having some setbacks which are bound to pull back the maleic anhydride market growth. Government regulations are quite strict when it comes to bio-sustainability. Hence, the maleic anhydride market can experience a sluggish pace.
Many North American companies are shifting their bases to Brazil and Argentina which can provide a tailwind to the Latin American market. However, the North American market is only about to make an average growth as downstream industries are not growing that much.

Bartek Ingredients (Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada) has begun work on a vertically integrated malic and food-grade fumaric acid manufacturing facility. This will be the world's largest facility for the manufacturing of maleic and fumaric acids. This $160 million project, which is expected to be finished in Q4 2023, will double Bartek's capacity. It will also be able to manufacture extra volumes of malic and fumaric acid, as well as buffer and fortification salts.
The Indian Oil Corporation's Board of Directors has approved the construction of the country's first mega-scale Maleic Anhydride Plant at its Panipat Refinery and Petroleum Complex to produce value-added chemical goods (PRPC). Maleic Anhydride (MAH) is used to create specialty products such as polyester resins and surface coatings, plasticizers, agrochemicals, and lubricant additives, and the project is expected to have a capacity of 120 KTA (kilo tonnes per annum).
