  • Why did China Import 66kt n-butanol in Q1 2023?
  • China imported 66kt n-butanol in the first four months of 2023, 42% higher than that in the same period of 2022. In China, plasticizer prices - along with 2-EH prices - rose briefly, and then fell in Q1 2023, owing to slow demand recovery after the holiday. Generally, the plasticizer sector's H1 was characterized by only slight fluctuations.
  • 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 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 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.
