  • What happened to plasticizer prices in 2023?
  • Operating rates for US-based plasticizer plants remained reduced but with the disappointing level of demand from the construction market – as well as the increasing presence of imports – the US market was still amply supplied. Prices have eroded throughout 2023 to date, although they have not fallen quite as steeply as they have in Europe.
  • What is Plastics Europe – a European analysis?
  • It also addresses the different recycling technologies and plastics production from non-fossil based resources, i.e. bio-based and bio-attributed and carbon captured plastics. The report shows 2022 estimated data. Plastics Europe publishes the 2024 edition of the “Circular Economy for Plastics – A European Analysis” report.
  • How will global demand for plasticizers affect the plasticizer market?
  • Continued global demand for flexible PVC will lead to continued growth for plasticizers. Demand for most downstream plasticizer markets is greatly influenced by general economic conditions. As a result, demand for plasticizers largely follows the patterns of the leading world economies.
  • Why are European plasticizer plants reopening?
  • Producers have continued to operate European 2-EH and plasticizer plants at reduced rates in line with demand. Imports of all general-purpose plasticizers have been competitive, as freight rates fell and the local markets in Asia failed to show any demand improvement, particularly China on which hopes had been pinned.
  • How volatile is the plasticizers market?
  • With such a diverse range of applications, the plasticizers market can be volatile as it reacts to consumer trends, seasonality and regional supply. Buyers, sellers and traders must act quickly to make the most of market opportunities. This means constant access to the most current prices and data is key.
  • Which country is the largest plasticizer market in the world?
  • Mainland China is the singlelargest plasticizer market in the world, accounting for over half of world consumption in 2020; it also has the highest forecast consumption growth during the next few years, spurred by increased plasticizer consumption in goods for both domestic and export markets.
