The global maleic anhydride market size reached US$ 3.4 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 5.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.31% during 2024-2032. Rising product utilization in the construction industry, increasing product adoption in the automotive industry, and development of new production methods represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Maleic anhydride (C4H2O3) is a highly reactive, colorless, and crystalline organic compound available in flake, briquette, pellet, and lump variants. It is produced by the oxidation of benzene or n-butane in the presence of vanadium oxide catalysts. Maleic anhydride is widely used in resins, coating, pharmaceuticals, surfactants, agricultural products, and plastics. It is also used in water treatment chemicals, paper sizing, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, cosmetics, and lubricants. Maleic acid is a biodegradable compound with a pungent odor and excellent solubility in water and methanol. It improves mechanical strength, controls pH, enhances texture, and exhibits corrosion-resistant properties. As a result, maleic anhydride finds extensive applications across the construction, automotive, food and beverage (F&B), electronics, cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical industry.

Maleic Anhydride Market Trends:
The rising product utilization in the construction industry is one of the primary factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Maleic anhydride is widely used to produce unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) that finds application in the manufacturing of tiles, building panels, reinforcements, household structure composites, countertops, tubs, and sinks due to its low price and fast curing time. In addition to this, the widespread product utilization as a protective coating for building sites and as a plasticizer in concrete to improve viscosity and pot life is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, rising product adoption in the automotive industry to manufacture various composites, such as fenders, body panels, heat shields, grille opening reinforcement (GOR), pick-up boxes, and headlamp reflectors, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Along with this, increasing application of maleic anhydride to produce lubricant additives, such as pour point depressants, viscosity index improvers, and dispersants, is propelling the market growth. Additionally, the recent development of a new method to synthesize maleic anhydride using plate vanadium phosphorous oxide (VPO) catalyst and renewable feedstock chemicals, such as furfural, which provides better yield, improves selectivity, and minimizes adverse environmental impact is positively influencing the market growth. Moreover, the widespread product demand in the F&B industry as an artificial sweetener, flavor enhancer, and preservative and to produce various food additives, such as fumaric acid, succinic acid, and malic acid, is favoring the market growth. Other factors, including escalating product demand in the pharmaceutical industry, rising product utilization in manufacturing cosmetics, and increasing product demand for producing insecticides and fungicides, are anticipated to the drive market growth.
