Succinimide Market Analysis - By Type
Polyisobutylene succinimide segment holds the largest share of more than 40% in the succinimide market in 2023. Polyisobutylene succinimides are produced by reacting polyisobutylene succinic anhydrides with amine. They are widely used to make dispersants that are used in tailor-made formulations to meet the challenging demand of engine oil. Polyisobutylene succinimide reduces the formation of deposits on metal surface and inhibit soot agglomeration due to stable micelle formation. Polyisobutylene succinimide have a low order of acute toxicity based on the oral and dermal studies in animals. They do not undergo photo degradation. Owing to the above factors, demand for polyisobutylene is expected to grow during the forecast period.
Succinimide Market Analysis - By Application
Oil additive segment is projected to grow with the fastest CAGR of around 8% in the succinimide market during the forecast period 2024 - 2030. Succinimides are widely used as detergent dispersant additive for gasoline and diesel engine oil. The use of succinimide help fuel and lubricants enhance the speed, strength, cleanliness, and durability of the vehicle. Detergent and dispersants are used to prevent the accumulation of varnish like deposits on the wall of the cylinder and also neutralizes the harmful effects of corrosive acids that are formed by the combustion of diesel and gasoline fuels. Succinimide dispersants keep vital engine parts clean along with prolonging the engine life and also help to maintain a proper emissions and good fuel economy. According to the U.S Energy Information Administration, total gasoline consumption in the United States accounted for about 52% of the total transportation sector energy consumption in 2022. Thus, huge gasoline demand further fuels the growth of succinimide market.
Succinimide Market Analysis - By End-Use Industry
Based on the end-use industry, pharmaceutical segment holds the largest share of more than 30% in the succinimide market in 2023. Succinimides are extensively used in the formulation of central nervous system (CNS) depressants, analgesic, and anticonvulsant drugs for the treatment of anxiety, panic, acute stress, pain, sleeping disorders, and absence seizure. According to the 31 March 2023 report by the World Health Organization (WHO), over 280 million people were estimated to suffer from depression globally which was equivalent to 3.8% of the world’s population in 2023. Changing life style and deteriorating health condition of people has accelerated the use of succinimide for the production of anticonvulsant drugs.

Succinimide Market Drivers
Surging uses of Succinimide as direct electroless silver plating on electronic equipment:
In electronic equipment’s, Succinimide binds the simple metal ions and helps in the formation of complex ions. It also retains the more noble ions in the solution preventing their immersion deposition. Moreover, Silver has lowest specific resistance, thus they are widely used as a surface treatment material for various electronic parts. It is difficult to apply a plating of uniform thickness for minute parts of complex structure by electroplating, which further leads to the problem of uniform current distribution. In order to achieve uniform plating thickness demand for electroless plating on semiconductors and printed circuit boards has increased. Whereas, the Electroless silver plating is done using imidazole as the reducing agent and succinimide as the complexing agent. Increase in disposable income has boosted the demand of electronic gadgets such as computer, mobiles, air conditioners etc. which in turn augments the use of succinimide.
Increasing health concerns and government expenditure on healthcare:
Succinimide find wide applications including antispasmodic, bacteriostatic, muscle relaxant, hypotensive, and antibacterial in healthcare sector. The use of Succinimide like anticonvulsants help to increase the seizure threshold, inhibit T-type calcium channels, and inhibit the three-cycle per second thalamic 'spike and wave' discharge in absence seizures. As, Anticonvulsants are widely used to treat absence seizures. Furthermore, increasing health concerns and government spending on healthcare is boosting the growth of succinimide market. Additionally, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), U.S. health care spending grew 4.1% to reach $4.5 trillion in 2022, faster than the increase of 3.2% in 2021.
Succinimide Market Challenges
Harmful effects on human health and government regulations on plastics:
Although succinimide find wide range of application in Pharma industries, it also causes gastrointestinal distress, headache, dizziness, and skin rashes when consumed more or in direct contact. Furthermore, succinimides are used in synthesis of plastics, but government restrictions on the use of plastic lower the demand of succinimide, which in turn hamper the growth of the market.
