Boric Acid Price Trend for the H1 of 2023
Asia
The price trends for Boric Acid registered a downward trend in the first half of 2023. The spot prices started around 8150 RMB/MT in January and went to about 7850 RMB/MT in March’23. The same declining trend continued in the second quarter, where the spot prices averaged around 7417 RMB/MT in June’23, registering an overall decline of 8% since January’23. Lowered downstream demands remained the primary reason for such declining price behaviours.
Europe
Europe region especially witnessed fluctuating price patterns in the true sense. Prices rose in the first month owing to supply chain disruptions but temporarily declined in the middle of the first quarter as the upstream costs decreased since port congestions cleared and freight normalization took place.
Boric acid prices stabilized in the later Q2 after riding slightly high in the first two months of Q2. These patterns were directly correlated with supply-demand dynamics in the region. As the supplies kept getting better, the steepness of the price curve kept reducing.
North America
The North American market observed oscillating price trends for Boric Acid in the said period. Prices first rose in January owing to the supply curtailments because of port congestions. But then, the dull demands from downstream industries dominated over every other influencing factor, and prices were set on a declining trajectory. Prices oscillated on the lower side for the rest of the said period.
