Ethanoic Anhydride Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

Asia

Ethanoic Anhydride price trend fluctuated throughout the said period as per the feedstock acetic acid and acetone prices. Prices ran upward for most of the first quarter because the demands from downstream industries were running high as the construction industries started opening in China after a long halt of the strict COVID-19 lockdown. So, as the industries started reviving slowly, the prices started with a steady and slow upward growth. However, the consistent breaks and hurdles like the Chinese New Year holidays kept affecting the demand fundamentals, causing the inventories to rise, thereby leading to a decline in ethanoic anhydride prices.

Ethanoic Anhydride prices fluctuated in a narrow range but were swinging low for most of the second quarter. A decline in the upstream costs was also the reason contributing to such price patterns since the crude oil and freight prices normalized. Overall, a mixed price trend was observed for Ethanoic Anhydride.

Europe

In the European market, Ethanoic Anhydride prices were steady and wavered a little at the higher end as its feedstock prices suggested. The reason behind such trend was the beginning of trade and supply chain normalization in European economies after a long economic backlash attributed to the Russia – Ukraine conflict in its backyard.

North America

In the American Ethanoic Anhydride market, the prices oscillated on the lower end, with the acetic acid prices falling constantly. Overstocked inventories were responsible for such price patterns. As very few queries were registered from the downstream markets, the prices didn’t get many opportunities to improve. Overall, dull market sentiments were observed.

Analyst insight

According to Procurement Resource, the price trend for Ethanoic Anhydride are expected to continue fluctuating given the trade normalization and unsettled market conditions.

Ethanoic Anhydride Price Trend for the Second Half of 2022

Asia

Ethanoic Anhydride prices for the Asian market in H2 2022 remained low. As the feedstock acetic acid remained more than sufficiently available, upstream costs remained underwhelmingly low, and very low market demands from downstream industries further pushed the prices for Ethanoic Anhydride. Overall, the year 2022 ended with a very muted market activity for Ethanoic Anhydride. Consequences of supply chain disruptions in the initial H2 2022 on Ethanoic Anhydride could not be aided even by the year-end.

Europe

Europe witnessed very oscillating trend for Ethanoic Anhydride. Due to an acute energy crisis, in-house production costs became unbearably high. And in the initial months of H2, the port congestions and supply chain disruptions didn’t let the cheaper Asian imports reach the European market, so the prices stayed fluctuated even with steadily low demands. But as the year-end approached the supply chains were restored and cheaper imports were available, hence the prices fell further.

North America

North American price trend for Ethanoic Anhydride were very similar to the Asian market trend. Ample availability of feedstock acetic acid at low costs kept the production costs balanced, even high energy costs could not push the Ethanoic Anhydride prices much, as demand dynamics favoured the low-price trend. In the latter Q4, the restoration of supply chains eased the shipment costs further, again contributing to low price trend for Ethanoic Anhydride. Overall, a demand slump and production ease kept the Ethanoic Anhydride market low hanging.

Analyst insight

According to Procurement Resource, the Ethanoic Anhydride price trend are not going to go up anytime soon. As the feedstock acetic acid prices are not rising and no sufficient upstream pressure is provided the price trend will remain bleak.
