Acetic Anhydride Price Trend Q3 2025

The global Acetic Anhydride market in Q3 2025 saw a slight dip with prices down by 3-8% from the previous quarter. This decline has primarily been attributed to softer demand from key end-use markets, namely pharmaceutical and polymer sectors as demand softened given inventory management and seasonal shifts.

Acetic anhydride, a key acetylating agent used to produce aspirin, cellulose acetate, and in other chemicals saw demand dip as production rates slowed. In addition to softening demand, logistical constraints in key exporting countries and fluctuations in feedstock prices added further to the decline.

Belgium (CIF from China): (Acetic Anhydride Import prices CIF Antwerp, Belgium, Grade- IG (99% min).

In Q3 2025, Acetic Anhydride prices in Belgium decreased by 3.49% compared to Q2 2025. Acetic Anhydride price trend in Belgium was influenced by a slowdown in demand from key industries such as coatings and pharmaceuticals, which faced production slowdowns. Additionally, global oversupply conditions and rising freight costs from China put downward pressure on prices. Acetic Anhydride prices in September 2025 in Belgium remained lower, continuing the trend from the previous quarter. The outlook for Q4 2025 suggests that prices will likely remain under pressure unless there is a recovery in demand from key downstream industries and a stabilization in freight costs.

Turkey (CIF from China): (Acetic Anhydride Import prices CIF Mersin, Turkey, Grade- IG (99% min).

In Q3 2025, domestic prices for Acetic Anhydride in Turkey fell by 8.44% compared to Q2 2025. The trend of Acetic Anhydride prices in Turkey has adversely been affected by weaker demand levels from downstream industries such as coatings and automotive, and production levels slowed down. The supply situation in the regional market has worsened by rising freight rates from China into Turkey, which added to pricing pressure.

Acetic Anhydride prices in Turkey continued to fall downward in September 2025 based on the bearish trend in other markets. The price outlook for the market segment in Q4 2025 indicates prices would remain weaker unless demand improves in downstream uses and logistical issues have been resolved.

China: Acetic Anhydride Export price from FOB Shanghai China, Grade, IG (99% min).

According to PriceWatch, the Acetic Anhydride price trend in China decreased by 9.17% in Q3 2025 over Q2 2025. The falling demand from downstream sectors, particularly automotive and coatings, which have been slowing production and consuming less, caused the price to drop. Prices dropped, even with stable production amounts, due to oversupply conditions domestically and rising freight costs and weakening export demand contributed to the price decline.

Acetic Anhydride prices in China continued to decline in September 2025 amid weak demand and bearish market conditions. The market is expected to continue in this direction and may turn bullish depending on the resurgence of global demand and supply chain adjustments.

Acetic Anhydride Industrial Applications

Acetic Anhydride Market Share End Use

Historically, several events have caused significant fluctuations in Acetic Anhydride prices

  • Russia-Ukraine Conflict (2022-Present):

Rising Energy Costs: Disruptions in natural gas and crude oil supplies from Russia led to higher energy prices, increasing production costs for acetic anhydride.

Feedstock Price Increases: Prices of key raw materials like acetic acid, derived from methanol, surged due to geopolitical tensions, affecting acetic anhydride production costs.

Supply Chain Disruptions: Trade routes and logistics in Eastern Europe were severely impacted, causing delays and limited availability of acetic anhydride and its feedstocks.

Sanctions on Russia: Economic sanctions reduced the supply of key petrochemicals, creating a supply shortage in global markets.

  • COVID-19 Pandemic (2020):

Surge in Demand for Preservatives: Increased demand for processed and packaged foods during lockdowns drove higher consumption of acetic anhydride, a key food preservative.

Supply Chain Disruptions: Global lockdowns and restrictions disrupted transportation, manufacturing, and logistics, causing supply shortages for acetic anhydride and its raw materials.

Fluctuations in Feedstock Prices: Prices of acetic acid, a key feedstock for acetic anhydride, were affected by volatility in crude oil prices, which initially plummeted and later stabilized.

Reduced Industrial Activity: Shutdowns in various industrial sectors, such as coatings and plasticizers, reduced demand for acetic anhydride, creating an imbalance in certain regions.

Market Speculation and Stockpiling: Uncertainty about supply availability led to speculative buying and stockpiling, further amplifying price volatility.

  • Geopolitical Tensions (2018-2019):

Trade Wars and Tariffs: The U.S.-China trade war-imposed tariffs on petrochemicals and derivatives, increasing production costs and disrupting global supply chains for acetic anhydride.

Crude Oil Price Volatility: Geopolitical conflicts, such as U.S. sanctions on Iran and tensions in the Middle East, led to fluctuations in crude oil prices, directly impacting the cost of acetic acid, a key feedstock for acetic anhydride.

Supply Chain Challenges: Political instability and trade restrictions affected the transportation and availability of raw materials, creating supply shortages in some regions.
Shifting Global Trade Patterns: Manufacturers re-evaluated sourcing strategies due to geopolitical uncertainty, increasing logistics and operational costs for acetic anhydride production.

The pricing of acetic anhydride is influenced by several key factors, including raw material costs such as acetic acid, which directly impacts production costs. Fluctuations in supply and demand within industries like pharmaceuticals, textiles, paints, coatings, and adhesives play a significant role in determining prices. Additionally, external factors such as geopolitical events, trade tariffs, and changes in energy prices can affect production and transportation costs, leading to price volatility. These combined factors result in variability in acetic anhydride pricing, depending on global economic conditions.

Regional production has a significant impact on acetic anhydride pricing. Regions with high production, such as Asia-Pacific, benefit from more competitive pricing due to the local availability of raw materials like acetic acid and lower transportation costs. In contrast, regions that depend on imports, such as North America and Europe, often face higher prices due to transportation fees, import duties, and potential supply chain disruptions. These regional production dynamics contribute to price variations across different markets.

The latest pricing trends for acetic anhydride often reflect fluctuations in the cost of raw materials, such as acetic acid, as well as changes in global supply chains and energy prices. To secure better rates, procurement managers can consider negotiating long-term contracts with suppliers, closely monitoring global price trends and market indices, and optimizing bulk purchasing strategies to benefit from volume discounts. Additionally, staying informed about geopolitical events and regional production levels can help anticipate price fluctuations and make more strategic purchasing decisions.
