Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market
- Asia Pacific region stands to be the largest and fastest-growing market for phthalic anhydride derivatives. Factors, such as booming paints and coatings industry, growing consumption of plastics in the region, and increasing manufacturing company preference owing to low labor cost which in turn have been driving the phthalic anhydride derivatives requirements in Asia-Pacific.
- The growth rate of paints and coatings market in the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to stand at 5% over the forecast period and specifically high growth from countries like China, Japan, and India.
- China is the Asia-Pacific region's largest manufacturer of paints and coatings, with an annual output of over 20 million metric tons/year. In recent years, the country's building sector has experienced huge investments.
- Furthermore, in Japan, in 2019, a sudden rise in residential construction and projects related to the Tokyo Olympics 2020 prompted the growth of the construction industry during 2019. However, with the outbreak of corona virus, the Tokyo Olympics is further postponed to 2021.
- In addition, China is the world's biggest consumer of plastics. With the growing packaging and industrial industries in the country, demand for plastics is projected to increase. Because of these factors, demand for plasticizers is expected to increase in China, which, in turn, is expected to increase demand for phthalic anhydride used in plasticizers.
- Hence, all such market trends are expected to drive the demand for phthalic anhydride derivatives market in the region during the forecast period.
