  • How have plasticizer imports impacted the oxo-alcohol industry?
  • 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. As gas prices and propylene costs have gradually come down, oxo-alcohol producers have been less squeezed.
  • 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.
  • Why are plasticizer prices going down?
  • Competition for volume has been strong amongst domestic players and in response to imports. TOTM (tris (2-ethylhexyl)trimellitate) - an alternative plasticizer for PVC medical devices - saw very sharp price erosion early in the year. But TOTM was not alone and all plasticizers markets saw prices moving down substantially.
  • Who dominates the plasticizers market?
  • The Plasticizers market is dominated by a few major players that have a wide regional presence.
  • 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.
  • Why did the US plasticizers sector start afresh in 2023?
  • The US plasticizers sector began 2023 afresh following a heavy period of de-stocking during the fourth quarter of 2022 when demand slowed down dramatically. However, hopes of a rebound in Q1 were quickly dashed. This was largely due to downstream stock levels reflecting what turned out to be more than sufficient for the then-current demand level.
