In the U.S., prices fell slightly in Q1 as supply outpaced weak demand. Milder weather, high borrowing costs, and cautious construction spending slowed offtake, despite stable logistics and early stockpiling. By Q2, prices stabilized as imports declined due to new tariffs. However, pre-built inventories and alternate sourcing from countries like Canada and Japan helped maintain balance. Demand remained modest, with residential construction lagging and only limited support from data center projects.

In China, prices rose in Q1 as government-backed infrastructure drove cement demand. Supply stayed consistent, but a February rebound in construction tightened the market slightly. Real estate activity remained subdued, capping further gains. By March, the market balanced again.

In Germany, prices increased across both quarters, driven by rising energy costs and limited coal-based fly ash production. While demand stayed soft early in the year, signs of recovery in infrastructure and residential building emerged by April, tightening supply and pushing prices higher.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, Fly Ash prices are likely to remain sensitive to construction demand, trade shifts, and energy transition trends in the coming months.
 

Fly Ash Price Trend for Q4 of 2024

During Q4’24, the global Fly Ash market showed mixed trends across regions, shaped by shifting supply conditions, weather disruptions, and fluctuating demand from the construction and cement sectors. In North America, the quarter began with weak demand and ample supply, keeping prices under pressure.

Rainfall and lower cement activity slowed market movement, although imports remained steady. As November approached, supply tightened due to port strikes and congestion on the East Coast, causing a temporary uptick in prices. However, by December, improved weather and recovering imports led to inventory build-up, which softened the market again.

In the APAC region, Fly Ash prices rose steadily throughout the quarter. Early support came from improved infrastructure activities and tight supply, with colder weather later pushing coal prices higher and further limiting production. Despite weak demand from the cement industry, supply shortages kept prices high until the end of the quarter, when a market correction began due to aggressive destocking and weak exports.

Europe saw a modest rise initially, but prices later fell due to poor construction activity and high stock levels. Supply remained sufficient, but demand failed to recover, keeping the market weak throughout December.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, Fly Ash prices may stay under pressure unless construction demand picks up or supply disruptions reoccur.
 

Fly Ash Price Trend for Q3 of 2024

The third quarter of 2024 witnessed a fluctuating trend in the global Fly Ash market, with regional dynamics varying significantly. In North America, the quarter began with a modest price increase, driven by higher freight rates and rising fuel costs, which, despite a slight uptick in import prices, did not correspond to strong demand from the construction sector. As economic uncertainty and rising interest rates dampened housing market activity, the price gains were short-lived. By mid-quarter, the market faced downward pressure as the easing of import costs from China and reduced demand from construction projects, led to a decline in prices.

The quarter concluded with prices remaining subdued, reflecting a persistently bearish outlook. A balanced supply-demand situation and consistent production levels contributed to this stability. Lastly, in Europe, particularly in Germany, the market experienced a sharp decline, attributed to weak demand from the construction industry, an oversupply of Fly Ash, and logistical disruptions. These factors, combined with economic uncertainties, led to significant price reductions, marking a stark contrast to the relative stability seen in the other regions.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the prices of fly ash are likely to remain subdued in the coming months as well, since the feedstock coal markets are unlikely to improve anytime soon.
