Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Northeast Asia: The price decline was influenced by a combination of moderate downstream demand and stable production output from key manufacturers in China, South Korea, and Japan. On the demand side, the polyester and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) industries, major consumers of isophthalic acid, experienced a seasonal slowdown and lower order volumes, reducing immediate procurement pressure. Supply-side factors included sustained domestic production capacities, minimal disruptions in logistics, and steady import volumes, which together alleviated supply constraints. Cost components such as international shipping, port handling, and customs duties remained largely stable, while currency fluctuations had minimal impact due to effective hedging practices by major importers.

Isophthalic Acid Industry Analysis
The global isophthalic acid industry size reached USD 3.16 Billion in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 5.03 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 5.04% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the rising demand in polyester resins and PET production, the expansion of packaging and textile industries, increasing adoption in coatings and adhesives, and investments in high-performance polymer applications across emerging markets.
Latest developments in the Isophthalic Acid Industry:
- September 2025: A novel coordination polymer, {[Co(MTIA)(H2O)]⋅H2O}n (Co-MTIA), was successfully synthesized using the multidentate ligand 5-(3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl), isophthalic acid (H2MTIA), and Co(NO3)2·6H2O under thermal conditions. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed a tightly stacked 3D framework with binuclear [Co2(COO)2] subunits and MTIA2− linkers. Magnetic studies showed antiferromagnetic coupling in the binuclear units, with no significant dynamic magnetic relaxation observed.
- February 2024: Eastman, in collaboration with Rumpke Waste & Recycling, marked a step in the process of tackling the plastic waste crisis by collecting and sorting hard-to-recycle colored PET packaging waste for Eastman's molecular recycling system which produces virgin quality polyesters. Through this first-of-its-kind partnership, unrecycled plastics are addressed and thus, circularity is created for diverse kinds of consumer products, and waste is prevented from being used as fuel or for disposal in landfills.
- April 2024: Mitsui Chemicals' new affiliate, Mitsui Chemicals ICT Materia (ICTM), launched, focusing on film solutions for the ICT sector. Specializing in film and sheet products for semiconductor, electronic component, and photovoltaic panel manufacturing, ICTM aims to enhance innovation and competitiveness through an integrated setup, leveraging the Mitsui Chemicals Group's comprehensive strength from base resins to processing.
- February 2021: LOTTE Chemical introduced Korea's first 'PIA (Purified Isophthalic Acid) added semi-nonflammable insulation material,' reducing fire spread and smoke by 30%. Verified for formaldehyde absence by KOTITI, certified as semi-nonflammable at KCL, with an annual production of 520,000 tons, the largest globally. Insulators installed at Dongtan Station LOTTE Shopping Town Front Castle and LOTTE Academy in Osan, anticipating increased demand due to stricter safety standards.
Product Description
Isophthalic acid is the most important source of the organic compound that serves as the basis of such products as polyester resins, coating, and fiber production. It is a pure, crystalline organic white compound with the molecular formula of C8H6O4. Isophthalic acid is normally obtained through the oxidation of meta-xylene or ortho-xylene in the presence of catalysts at a high temperature, reacting to form terephthalic acid, further processed into isophthalic acid. The methoxylation of isomers of xylene usually starts with an oxidative catalyst that, after purification, ends up with isophthalic acid. Its wide range of applications covers the manufacturing process of corrosion-resistant coatings, strong and high-temperature-resistant fibers, and durable plastics. Besides, unsaturated phthalic acid can be utilized in the manufacturing of unsaturated polyester resin, which is in turn used in the construction, automotive, marine, and aerospace industries. This is why polystyrene is recognized as a multi-purpose component that makes for a wide range of stronger and superior synthetic materials and as a consequence contributes to developing products of improved characteristics.
