  • How did plasticizer prices change in China?
  • In China, plasticizer prices moved up in January along with 2-EH prices, then fell back in February owing to slow demand recovery after the holiday. Prices only fluctuated slightly from March to May.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • What is a plasticizer used for?
  • A plasticizer is a substance that is added to a material to make it softer and more flexible, to increase its plasticity, to decrease its viscosity, and/or to decrease friction during its handling in manufacture. Plasticizers are commonly added to polymers such as plastics and PVC.
  • Why are plasticizer & OXO-alcohol markets stagnating in 2023?
  • With the year 2023 now into its second half, plasticizer and oxo-alcohol markets remain relatively stagnant globally. Demand failed to pick up as hoped and ongoing economic pressures left markets languishing in a slow demand cycle for many months.
  • 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.
