China and Germany are the leading exporters of glutaric anhydride (CAS 108-55-4), collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in recent years, while the United States, South Korea, and India represent the largest importers. Import volumes into North America and East Asia have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth observed alongside fluctuations in glutaric anhydride prices tied to upstream cyclohexanone supply dynamics.
Glutaric anhydride is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature, with a faint, acrid odor and a melting point of approximately 41–43 °C. It is a cyclic aliphatic anhydride classified as an organic chemical intermediate. Primarily used in the synthesis of glutaric acid, esters, and amides, it serves as a key building block for specialty polyesters, plasticizers, and corrosion inhibitors. Its main application areas include polymer modification (e.g., crosslinking agents for alkyd resins), coatings, and the production of pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediates.
