European markets witnessed similar declining trends, though less pronounced than in Asia. The market struggled with reduced downstream demand, particularly from construction and automotive sectors. Production costs remained elevated due to ongoing energy concerns, but oversupply conditions prevented price increases, leading to squeezed margins for producers.

North American DSBP market started strong but gradually declined throughout the year. Price volatility increased during Q3, primarily due to hurricane season disruptions affecting supply chains and production facilities. Despite these temporary shutdowns, overall demand remained sluggish, preventing any sustained price recovery. Regional manufacturers adjusted production rates to match the tepid demand, especially as imports from Asia offered competitive pricing.
