Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/23/2016 -- Maleic Anhydride Market by Raw Material (N-Butane and Benzene), by Application [UPR, 1,4-BDO, Additives, Copolymers, and Others), and by Region (NA, APAC, Europe, Row) - Global Forecast to 2020

"Increased use of n-butane to produce maleic anhydride in various applications"

The maleic anhydride market size is expected to reach USD 5.08 billion by 2020, registering a CAGR of 6.8% between 2015 and 2020. Maleic anhydride acts as a chemical intermediate in various industrial processes. It is conventionally produced by the oxidation of aromatic compounds including n-butane or benzene. N-Butane is the commonly used raw material for the production of maleic anhydride. The use of benzene to produce maleic anhydride has decreased considerably due to governmental regulations and other reasons such as high production cost, complex operation, and costly process control. Thus, the n-butane-based maleic anhydride is being used by industries on a large scale.
