The global Acetic Anhydride market is mainly driven by its usage to manufacture drugs and medications. These medications are among the most widely used, and the rise in health problems including aches, nausea, and fever, among others, is driving up demand for them. Moreover, it is used as a raw ingredient in the production of other medicines as well including acetaminophen, cortisone, and theophylline, among others. Furthermore, the growing need for hormone medications to address a variety of chronic illnesses like cancer and hormonal disorders like infertility, allergic rhinitis, prostate issues, hypothyroidism, and others, also provides a push to the acetic anhydride market. Additionally, the usage of acetic anhydride to manufacture cellulose acetate which finds applications in various industries such as textiles and packaging also contributes to the market. The packaging industry is increasingly using cellulose acetate as a substitute for petroleum-based materials due to its biodegradable qualities coupled with stringent government regulations towards reduction in plastic usage also contributes to the market expansion.

The Acetic Anhydride market is segregated based on end-use, sales channel, and region. Based on the end-user industry, the global Acetic Anhydride market is segmented into Pharmaceutical, Industrial, Agrochemicals, and Nutrition. Among these, the pharmaceutical sector is in the lead and held more than 40% of the market share in 2022. Additionally, the Industrial sector is also a prominent consumer of the Acetic Anhydride market.

Based on demand by region, Asia Pacific is consuming the majority of the Acetic Anhydride market with a consumption of 48% in 2022. It is anticipated that Asia Pacific will most likely retain this position in the forecast period owing to the growing demand for medicines and better healthcare facilities coupled with the growing population in nations like India, Sri Lanka, and Japan. In terms of production, the Asia Pacific region is again in the lead with China and India being the biggest stakeholders.
