Alkyl Succinic Anhydrides (ASA) Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report by Type and by Application : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032

Alkyl Succinic Anhydrides Market Analysis

Alkyl succinic anhydrides are fiber reactive nuclear sizing agents, which are basic or neutral in nature. These anhydrides come with unique properties and abilities to serve environmental protection requirements and are utilized in the paper industry as sizing papers with alkyl succinic anhydrides emulsions help impart water resistance by controlling its printing properties. During the production of paper sheets, alkyl succinic anhydrides (ASA)emulsion particles stick either to cellulosic fines to fibers or to mineral surfaces in the suspension.

Alkyl succinic anhydrides (ASA) cures kinetics depending on the conversion to the ketone form of the compound, which occurs during drying of the paper at high temperature.

COVID-19 Impact

• The global market for alkyl succinic anhydrides market is severely impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
• The COVID-19 pandemic saw a decline in the economic growth in almost all the major countries, thus affecting consumer spending patterns. 
• Owing to the lockdown implemented across various countries, national and international transport have been hampered, which has significantly impacted the supply chain of numerous industries across the globe, thereby increasing the supply–demand gap.
• Thus, insufficiency in raw material supply is expected to hamper the production rate of alkyl succinic anhydrides, which negatively impact the market growth.

Top impacting factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends and Drivers 

The alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) market is mainly driven by growing demand for sizing agent for paper. ASA minimizes water absorption and enhances the surface conditions of paper during a neutral paper manufacturing process. In the paper industry, alkyl succinic anhydrides market plays a significant role in minimizing the harmful environmental impact of water contamination by enabling the recycling of water in the paper production process.

The alkyl succinic anhydrides (ASA) market in Asia-Pacific is anticipated to expand at a considerable pace due to rapid industrialization in developing economies in the region. 

In the coming years, global market is expected to witness significant growth on account of rising applications, so in the next few years, alkenyl succinic anhydride production will show a trend of steady growth.
