  • 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 do PVC compounders use low-priced plasticizers?
  • Some PVC compounders were opting for lower-priced plasticizers - such as DOTP - in certain cable applications (where workable). Their sacrifice of some of the high-performance elements of these plasticizers came at the expense of DPHP and DIDP markets.
  • 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 does competition affect European plasticizer prices?
  • Intensifying seller competition pushes Europe plasticizer DOTP spot prices to nine-month low Intensifying competition between Turkish, northeast Asian and local sellers pushed down dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) prices in the European plasticizers spot market.
  • 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 did DPHP and DIDP plasticizers become more competitive?
  • Their sacrifice of some of the high-performance elements of these plasticizers came at the expense of DPHP and DIDP markets. The trend created a more competitive environment for these two higher-priced plasticizers as producers attempted to maintain, and/or regain market share.
