The global acetic anhydride market size reached USD 3.9 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 4.9 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.45% during 2025-2033. The market is experiencing stable growth driven by the increasing focus on synthesizing numerous drugs and pharmaceutical intermediates, rising demand for numerous processed food products among people with busy lifestyles due to rapid urbanization, and the burgeoning chemical sector.
Rising Focus on Synthesizing Numerous Drugs and Pharmaceutical Intermediates
The growing adoption of acetic anhydride due to the increasing focus on synthesizing numerous drugs and pharmaceutical intermediates is positively influencing the market. Statista claims that pharmaceutical revenues worldwide totaled US$ 1.48 trillion in 2022. Acetic anhydride is a crucial raw material for aspirin, acetaminophen, and other pharmaceuticals manufacturing. Acetic anhydride-based aspirin assists in treating mild to moderate pain, inflammation, or arthritis. It aids in lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke, or blood clots among individuals. The rising number of heart diseases among individuals is catalyzing the demand for acetic anhydride in pharmaceutical medications. Furthermore, the increasing consumption of aspirins among the geriatric population, as they are more prone to various inflammatory diseases, is supporting the market growth. According to the United Nations (UN), the global population aged 65 and above is projected to rise from 10% in 2022 to 16% in 2050.
Increasing Demand for Food Products
The growing demand for acetic anhydrite in the food and beverage (F&B) sector is offering a positive market outlook. The rising adoption of processed and ready-to-eat (RTE) food products among people with busy lifestyles due to rapid urbanization is contributing to the market growth. Statistics Times claims that 4.46 billion people live in urban areas and 3.42 billion live in rural areas across the globe in 2021. It also states that the worldwide urban population is projected to grow to 6.68 billion by 2050. Furthermore, acetic anhydride is used to produce modified starches that assist in improving stability against heat and mild acids and are suitable for thickening food products. Acetic anhydrite serves as a fermentation agent and is used in combination with other compounds, such as sodium bicarbonate, for the manufacture of products that require baking. It acts as a flavoring agent in a wide range of food products, including sauces, dressings, pickles, and marinades. It helps maintain the desired acidity or alkalinity in various food formulations and ensures product stability, texture, and taste consistency. It also benefits in extending the shelf-life of various food products. Apart from this, the escalating demand for numerous food products on account of the increasing population across the globe is propelling the acetic anhydride market growth. As per World Bank, the global population recorded 7.95 billion in 2022, which was 7.89 billion in 2021.
Thriving Chemical Sector
According to Statista, the total revenue of the global chemical industry amounted to over US$ 5.72 trillion in 2022. It also states that the chemical consumption worldwide reached 5.77 trillion euros in the same year. The thriving chemical industry across the globe is catalyzing the acetic anhydride market demand for various purposes. Acetic anhydride is used in the industrial synthesis of acetate monomers, esters, and salts. It is a reactive compound that reacts rapidly with water and alcohol to produce esters or acetates. It reacts with atmospheric oxygen over time to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and acetic acid. It is also used as a catalyst in making geraniol, citral, and citric acid and this process starts by combining anhydride with calcium carbide, which produces calcium oxide.
Cellulose acetate accounts for the majority of the market share
Cellulose acetate is a biomass material produced by chemically modifying hydroxyl groups with acetic acids in cellulose materials derived from nonedible parts of plants, such as wood fibers and cotton. It has antimicrobial activity against bacterial species, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. It has enhanced solubility in water and biodegradability, reducing their impact on natural environments. It is a highly versatile material that can be easily molded, extruded, or cast into numerous shapes and forms. It offers low electrical conductivity and insulating properties and high resistance to ultraviolet (UV) rays. It is used to manufacture eyeglass frames on account of their lightweight and durable properties. The research report of IMARC group states that the global eyewear market size reached US$ 159.6 Billion in 2023. Apart from this, cellulose acetate is widely employed in the textile sector to produce clothing, upholstery, and linings due to its softness and ability to hold vibrant colors. People are increasingly preferring premium-quality clothing solutions that offer enhanced comfort and softness. According to Statista, natural fibers, such as cotton or wool, reached a production volume of 25.2 million metric tons, whereas chemical fibers accounted for 87.6 million metric tons in 2022.
North America leads the market, accounting for the largest acetic anhydride market share
The report has also provided a comprehensive analysis of all the major regional markets, which include China, North America, Western Europe, North East Asia, South East Asia, Middle East & Africa, and Eastern Europe.
