Further, fluctuating methanol prices, a major raw material for formulation of the acid leads to unstable acetic acid market price trend.

Acetic anhydride had a size of more than 1,400 kilo tons in 2016 in acetic acid market. Its extensive applications are in the production of medicines such as acetaminophen and aspirin. It is consumed in producing modified starches, that act as a food preservative as it is stable against mild acids and heat. These starches are ingredients of food products viz muesli bars, mayonnaises, sauces, flavored toppings, cake mixes, frozen cakes, ice-cream and frozen foods.

China accounted above 35% share in terms of consumption in 2016 and will maintain its significance till 2024.
