Description

The global Acetyl Oxide market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1511 million in 2025 to US$ 2018 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2026 to 2032.

Acetyl Oxide (Acetic anhydride) is a colorless liquid with a pungent, acidic odor. It is the anhydride formed by the dehydration of acetic acid and is an important acetylating agent and dehydrating agent in organic synthesis. It is widely used in the manufacture of cellulose, pharmaceuticals (such as aspirin), dyes, and fragrances. It slowly hydrolyzes in water to form acetic acid, and is corrosive and lachrymatory.

The upstream supply chain mainly includes methanol, acetic acid, and carbon monoxide. Currently, the mainstream process has shifted from the traditional acetic acid cracking (ketene method) to the more cost-effective methanol carbonylation method. This means that fluctuations in the price of raw materials such as coal or natural gas directly affect the production cost of acetic anhydride.In 2025, global sales are projected to be approximately 2.53 million tons, with an average market price of around US$611 per ton. The industry's gross profit margin is in the range of 10%–25%.

Diversified downstream demand growth is the core driving force. Downstream demand is highly concentrated in cellulose acetate systems (such as cigarette filter tow, textile fibers, films/sheets, etc.), and extends to bulk applications such as detergent bleaching activators (TAED); in the pharmaceutical sector, it is represented by products such as aspirin and acetaminophen. The product itself has strong reactivity and corrosive/irritating characteristics, requiring high standards for equipment airtightness, drying conditions, materials, and safety and environmental management.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
