DUBLIN

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/r8tbf4/global_acetic) has announced the addition of the “Global Acetic Anhydride Market 2015-2019” report to their offering.

Global Acetic Anhydride Market 2015-2019, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers Western Europe, North America, China, the APAC region (excluding China), and the ROW; it also covers the Global Acetic Anhydride market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

Acetic anhydride is colorless, highly water reactive, and can cause harm to humans in its vapor state. Apart from being used in the production of cellulose acetate, it is used in the Pharmaceutical sector, and also finds usage in the production of PTMEG and TAED. As it is used in the production of Heroin, its trade is highly monitored and controlled at the global level.

The constant decrease in acetic anhydride imports by China in the last decade owing to increased acetic anhydride production capacity in the country is the major trend being witnessed by the manufacturers in the market in recent years.

According to the report, increased demand for cigarette filter tow in emerging economies, especially in the BRIC nations, is the major driver for the growth of the market. The increase in smokers in these countries is benefitting the market, as acetic anhydride is used extensively for the production of cellulose acetate flake, the major raw material for producing cigarette filter tow.

Further, the report states that volatility in the pricing of methanol, the major raw material in the production of acetic acid, is one of the major challenges. In recent years, the prices of acetic anhydride have shown stagnant growth, making it difficult for manufacturers of acetic anhydride to maintain their profit margins.
