Pthalic Anhydride
Phthalic anhydride

Demand for phthalic anhydride (PA) in India should grow steadily as paints, PVC, transportation, construction, plastic products, textile dyes and printing inks expand capacity.

The PA market in India barely moved from 2017-18 to 2025-26, growing about 0.2% a year. The Government of India's push on infrastructure should lift consumption from 2026-27 to 2030-31.

Most of the world's Ortho-Xylene goes into phthalic anhydride, and strong global demand for phthalate plasticisers is the main driver of PA consumption. In India, growing use of phthalate plasticisers in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and of unsaturated polyester resins in fibreglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) should drive the market in the coming years.

Western India is the largest consumer of phthalic anhydride, with a major share of domestic demand; the northern and southern regions are also important and will grow strongly in the coming years. The Government uses safeguard and anti-dumping duties to curb cheap PA imports. Over the past 5 years, PA prices have moved mainly with international Ortho-Xylene prices.

World consumption of phthalic anhydride should grow modestly over the next five years. Asia is the largest consumer, mainly for plasticisers, which take nearly half of total consumption; China leads in PA for phthalate plasticisers, followed by Western Europe, India and North America. Growth should be above average in Asia, particularly in India, China and Southeast Asia, and below average in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. Outside Asia, the Middle East should see the largest volume growth.
