Acetic anhydride is a colorless liquid with a strong pungent odor and one of the most commonly used reagents in organic synthesis. It is produced by carbonylation of methyl acetate or oxidation of acetaldehyde with air or oxygen. It is used in cellular acetate, Tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED), polymers & resins, dyes, artificial sweeteners, flavors, and fragrances, among others. Acetic anhydrides are generally produced as intermediate goods; that is, they are products that are inputs for the production in various end-user industries, such as automotive, construction, furniture, medical, and so on.

The global acetic anhydride market was valued at $2,474.7 million in 2014 and is projected to reach $3,662.3 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 2.8% during the period under consideration. The rising demand from the cigarette tow and pharmaceuticals industries, along with the high demand for Tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) from the laundry industry, is contributing to the growth of the global acetic anhydride market.

Asia-Pacific (APAC), Europe, North America, and Rest of the World (RoW) are the major regions included in this market report. The market in Asia-Pacific dominated the global acetic anhydride market, in terms of volume, in 2014, having accounted for a share of 46.0%. Numerous global manufacturers have started manufacturing acetic anhydride in this region, owing to the lower manufacturing and labor costs in China. India is also expected to provide better opportunities for acetic anhydride manufacturers, owing to the increasing demand from industries such as pharmaceuticals, textiles, and polymers, among others.

Based on application, the acetic anhydride market has been segmented into cellulose acetate, pharmaceuticals, and perfumes, among others. The cellulose acetate segment accounted for the largest share of 61.5% of the global acetic anhydride market in 2014.

Eastman Chemicals Company (U.S.), Celanese Corporations (U.S.), BP Chemicals Ltd. (U.K.), Anhui Wanwei Group (China), Jubilant Life Science (India), Jilin Chemical Industries Co. Ltd. (China), and Daicel Corporation (Japan), among others, are the major players operating in this market.
