The maleic anhydride market size is estimated to be USD 2.8 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 3.4 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period. Maleic anhydride is a colorless white crystalline organic compound with a strong acrid odor. It is commercially produced by the oxidation of n-butane or benzene. Maleic anhydride can be produced by various technologies, including fixed bed, fluid bed, and transport bed technology. There is a broad range of maleic anhydride derivatives, such as UPR, 1,4-BDO, lubricating oil additives, styrene copolymers, maleic acid, succinic anhydride, Tetrahydrofuran (THF), Gamma Butyrolactone (GBL), and alpha-olefin succinimides.

Based on raw material, the maleic anhydridemarket is segmented as n-butane and benzene. n-butane is estimated to have a larger share in the maleic anhydride market, followed by benzene. The n-butane segment is also projected to lead the maleic anhydride market during the forecast period, owing to its growing demand from the building & construction, pipes & tanks, and automotive industries. The advantages of n-butane over benzene are low cost, fewer by-products, less toxicity, and higher productivity of n-butane over benzene, which are expected to drive the market for n-butane in the next five years
Based on application, the maleic anhydride market has majorly been segmented into UPR, 1,4-BDO, Lubricating Oil Additives, Copolymers, and Others. The maleic anhydride market size for UPR accounted for the largest share of global maleic anhydride market, in terms of value, in 2020. The demand for maleic anhydride in this application is increasing primarily due to the growing building & construction industry. The continuous R&D activities and increased use of n-butane as raw material are the key factors stimulating the growth of the segment.
On the basis of region, Asia Pacific is estimated to be the largest market for maleic anhydride in 2020. Asia Pacific accounted for a share of 61.4% of the global maleic anhydride market in 2020. The growth of the market in Asia Pacific is primarily propelled by the growing building & construction and automotive industries. The growth of end-use industries, rapid industrialization, availability of feedstock, and improved living standards of people in Asia Pacific are among the factors driving the maleic anhydride market.
