Phthalic anhydride (PA) is a derivative of phthalic acid, which is obtained from the oxidation of o-Xylene or naphthalene. o-Xylene feedstock is more commonly used due to the tight supply of naphthalene—as a result of decreasing coke consumption (that resulted in low naphthalene and coal tar production)—and the increasing availability of o-Xylene from refineries. PA is manufactured in two forms, namely, flakes and in a molten state. PA finds its main application in the plasticization of poly vinyl chloride (PVC) due to its ability to provide flexibility and strength to the compound. In paints and coatings, alkyd resins produced from anhydrides, such as PA and polyols, are used to enable efficient curing of the coating applied.

The increase in the range of performance characteristics of phthalic anhydride, with the advent of new production technologies, means that phthalic anhydride can be used in a vast range of applications. Rise in end-use applications like foam, shoe, and film manufacturing industries is also going to play a major role in increasing the demand for phthalic anhydride in the North American region in coming years. Though the market growth is slow, there is a lot of potential for the consumption of phthalic anhydride in the future. The North American market is expected to grow at slower pace due to the stringent environmental regulations in the region, which is making it difficult for manufacturers to adopt strategies to further expand their business.

This report covers the North American phthalic anhydride market, which has been segmented on the basis of applications and ingredients. Applications include alkyd resins, plasticizers, and unsaturated polyesters. Ingredients include orthoxylene.
