Maleic Anhydride - Global Market Trends

NEW YORK, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Maleic Anhydride - Global Market Trends

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0164413/Maleic-Anhydride---Global-Market-Trends.html

With conventional end use markets reaching saturation, new growth opportunities are expected to stem from novel end-use application possibilities. Asia-Pacific represents a lucrative market for capacity expansions, and new plant establishments. The world maleic anhydride market is witnessing a slew of capacity expansions. The continuous rise in prices of crude oil and raw materials is expected to raise production costs, and consequently bring prices of maleic anhydride under pressure. Continuous research and development efforts are expected to result in expanded market opportunities. Consumption of maleic anhydride in the production of butanediol is expected to gather momentum in the upcoming years, given butanediol's widespread and growing use in the production of thermoplastic polyurethanes, elastic fibers, pharmaceuticals, solvents, plant protection, coatings and electronic chemicals.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Maleic Anhydride: Global Market Trends" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
