Cellulose Ether Price Trend for the First Half of 2023
Asia
Cellulose ether prices declined in the first and second quarters of 2023 as the number of inquiries and feedstock prices could not provide the required support to the cellulose ether amid the dipping market activities. In addition to this, the supply of the product in the region flourished in the market even with increasing demand that affected the trend negatively. The prices of downstream cotton and pulp industries also witnessed a significant decline in the first two quarters that, ultimately led to the drop in the price trend of cellulose ether.
Europe
Stockpiling of cellulose ether in the European market had an adverse effect on its price trend. The market saw a declining trajectory as the subdued demand from the construction industry and poor performance of the cotton and related sectors pushed the prices of cellulose ether towards the negative side. Low demand for the product led to the cutting of operational costs by the manufacturers, further aiding the downward journey of products.
North America
The North American market was not much different in terms of the prices of cellulose ether. The market dynamics dipped due to the poor purchasing potential of consumers and the downward sliding movement of the construction industry. The trend, however, stabilized towards the end of the first quarter and throughout the second quarter as the European and Chinese exports were available at low prices and the downstream demand improved slightly.
