Isophthalic Acid Market: Overview
·
Isophthalic acid is a colorless organic compound, which is an
isomer of terephthalic acid and phthalic acid. Isophthalic acid is also
available in a highly pure form, with a purity of 99% or more, which is
referred to as Purified Isophthalic Acid (PIA). Isophthalic acid is extensively
utilized in the production of various important polymers. For instance,
polybenzimidazole, a high performance polymer, is produced by using isophthalic
acid as a precursor.
·
Properties of isophthalic acid, such as hydrolytic stability,
hardness, stain resistance, glossiness, corrosion resistance and ability to
easily process, make it highly useful in a wide range of applications, such as
the manufacture of corrosion resistant pipes, tanks, and fiberglass reinforced
plastics (FRP), which is utilized in coatings, automotive, and marine
industries. Isophthalic acid is highly preferred for coating by these
industries, as polyester resins derived from isophthalic acid exhibit high
thermal stability and also provide significant resistance against outdoor
weathering.
Key Drivers of Global Isophthalic Acid Market
·
Demand for isophthalic
acid market is anticipated to be driven largely by a rise in the demand
for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle resins globally. Isophthalic acid
is utilized as a key ingredient in the production of PET resins. Thus, an
increase in the global consumption of PET is expected to offer significant
opportunity to manufacturers of isophthalic acid in the near future. Additionally,
the excellent resistance properties exhibited by isophthalic acid are
attracting a large number of customers for global isophthalic acid players.
·
Increasing demand from end-use industries such as construction,
automotive, and marine is expected to boost the isophthalic acid market during
the forecast period
Coating
Segment to Dominate Global Isophthalic Acid Market
·
Rising demand for polyesters containing isophthalic acid, which
are widely utilized in industrial coatings applications for automobiles, home
appliances, aluminum siding, and metal office furniture, is projected to
augment the isophthalic acid market. Isophthalic acid is also employed as an
intermediate for polyesters, polyurethane resins, and plasticizers.

Global Isophthalic Acid Market: Restraints
·
Reduced degradability of isophthalic acid derived resins, due to
their high durability and resistance to wear and tear, is a key factor boosting
sales of isophthalic acid globally. However, it also raises concerns regarding
complicity with various environmental regulations, which are trying to protect the
environment and prevent the use of such polymers. Therefore, regulations that
limit the use of isophthalic acids in consumer products are expected to hinder
the global isophthalic acid market.
Asia Pacific to hold significant share of global isophthalic
acid market
·
In terms of region, the isophthalic acid market can be split
into five regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and
Middle East & Africa.
·
Asia pacific is expected to dominate the global isophthalic acid
market. Increasing industrial activities in emerging economies, such as China,
is projected to boost the demand for isophthalic acid, as it is extensively
utilized in the manufacture of corrosion resistant pipes and tanks.
·
Rise in construction activities in the Middle East is also
boosting the demand for isophthalic acid from the surface coating and
unsaturated polyester resins market.
