    Key findings in the phthalic anhydride market include the following:


    It is not at risk for large-scale substitution by competing products in most applications.
    The current (mid-2012) world market is amply supplied.
    Additional capacity is scheduled in India and China during 20122016.
    Overall economic performance will continue to be the best indicator of future demand.
    World consumption is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of almost 3.5% during
    20112016 but will vary greatly by application and region.
    The market is shifting to high-growth and high-consuming markets, such as China and
    India.
    China will strengthen its position as the largest single producer and consumer; it will
    continue to be the top choice for additional investment/capacity.

    Among the future concerns for the phthalic anhydride market are the following:

    Stricter environmental regulations affecting and/or limiting the use of phthalates.


    Strong interest in the use and development of nonphthalate plasticizers.
    Stricter environmental regulations affecting the use of alkyd resins.
    Increasing use of environmentally friendly coatings that do not consume phthalic
    anhydridederived resins.

    World demand for phthalic anhydride started to recover during 20102012, largely as a
    result of improved construction/remodeling activity and stronger OEM and automotive
    production. Growth in demand was highest in Asia and South America.
