The IEA expects world oil demand to decline year-on-year for the first time since 2020, driven by the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz closure. Prices have eased on prospects of a surplus late in 2026, but renewed hostilities threaten supplies and introduce volatility.

Asia
The Asian Anisole market followed a consistent downward trajectory in the fourth quarter. China's strict export restrictions remained a dominant factor, leading to significant domestic oversupply. Despite high production rates at manufacturing facilities, demand stayed weak, causing substantial inventory accumulation.
The government's continued export limitations created a notable supply-demand mismatch in the local market. Indian markets echoed this bearish trend, marked by post-festive season slowdown and weak agrochemical sector demand. Plant shutdowns for maintenance were implemented by several firms to address the supply-demand imbalance, yet prices continued to decline.
Europe
European Anisole markets saw price depreciation throughout Q4. The trend was influenced by falling feedstock costs and subdued downstream demand. Market participants maintained cautious buying patterns, keeping their inventory levels minimal. The overall chemical sector weakness in the region, combined with sufficient availability and competition from Asian markets, contributed to the downward price movement.
North America
The North American market exhibited similar bearish trends during Q4. Prices decreased due to weak demand fundamentals and comfortable inventory positions. The ongoing construction sector slowdown continued to impact the broader chemical industry, affecting Anisole consumption. Manufacturers adjusted their operating rates to manage the oversupply situation, but this did little to support prices.
Anisole is an aromatic organic compound with chemical formula C7H8O that has a nice and pleasant odor. It is frequently employed as a solvent in numerous industrial processes, as a flavoring and aroma component in cosmetics and culinary items, and as a chemical synthesis intermediate. Additionally, it can operate as a monomer in polymerization processes. Agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals also use anisole as a raw material.
