Anthracene Price Trend Q1 2024

Anthracene is a polycyclic hydrocarbon made up of three benzene rings fused together. This hydrocarbon is a crucial component for pigment and agriculture industries (pesticides, and fungicides). Thereby, the demands from these sectors determine the downstream pricing outlook for anthracene. Feedstock prices and other manufacturing costs influence the upstream pricing outlooks. Since anthracene is extracted via fractional distillation of coal tar, the price indices for both anthracene and coal tar show great similarities.

During the first quarter of the year 2024 as well, the market behavior exhibited similarities for anthracene and coal tar. Coal production has seen impressive increments in recent times. In India, the stockpiles surpassed 43 million tonnes; this resulted in a turndown of external cost pressure. The import volumes also took a hit. Concurrently, given this feedstock supply surplus, anthracene also felt the pressure. Suppliers started discounting the prices in order to sustain the product movement volumes. Some demand upticks momentarily pushed the prices up. However, the overall market sentiments remained downward, wavering for anthracene for the most part.

When we started our Betaine manufacturing operations in Brazil, we were struggling to identify suppliers and benchmark our procurement costs vs other players already in the market. Procurement Resource helped us understand the market in Latin America, the key suppliers, how others were getting products, and even helped us in negotiating prices.

About Anthracene

Anthracene is a solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) consisting of three fused benzene rings, forming a flat, plate-like structure. This compound is derived primarily from coal tar and is used extensively in the production of dyes, pigments, and the synthesis of other chemicals. Anthracene is also a key precursor in the manufacture of anthraquinone, which is pivotal in dye production. Additionally, it finds application in the electronics industry for making organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Anthracene is known for its luminescence properties.
