China and the United States are the leading exporters of Octenylsuccinic anhydride, together accounting for the majority of global shipments, while Germany, South Korea, and India represent the largest importers. Octenylsuccinic anhydride prices have remained relatively stable amid consistent cross-border flows. Exports from China have expanded steadily since 2022, while U.S. export volumes have held steady, and European imports—particularly from Germany—have shown modest growth over the past three years.
Octenylsuccinic anhydride (OSA) is a pale yellow to amber viscous liquid at room temperature, with a mild, characteristic odor and low volatility. It is an organic chemical classified as a cyclic anhydride and is widely used as a reactive intermediate in chemical synthesis. Its primary industrial application is the modification of starch—via esterification—to produce octenylsuccinic anhydride–modified starch (OSA starch), a food-grade emulsifier and stabilizer approved for use in beverages, sauces, and dairy alternatives. OSA is also employed in the production of specialty surfactants, functional polymers, and surface-modified nanoparticles for coatings and personal care formulations.
