1,4-Butanediol (1,4-BD) Price Trend and Forecast
Regional Price Overview
Get the latest insights on price movement and trend analysis of 1,4-Butanediol (1,4-BD) in different regions across the world (Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa).
1,4-butanediol prices are largely determined by raw material prices, such as propylene, butadiene, n-butane, or maleic anhydride, which are influenced by crude oil, natural gas, or coal feedstock costs.
In Shandong, the price of raw material propylene grew somewhat in the first quarter of 2022, and the offer of firms was increased by 50 RMB/MT. Propylene's current market price in Shandong is between 8400 and 8550 RMB/MT. The price of crude oil moved upward, and cost support was enough, but downstream demand was poor. The polypropylene market demand was weak and there was little potential for propylene to climb further.
In recent years, Asia Pacific has emerged as the world's largest 1, 4-butanediol consumer.. Major developed-country market players are focusing on various strategies that include utilizing low-cost labor and resources in emerging economies such as India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
