Isosorbide Price Trend for the Second Half of 2022

Asia

The price trends for isosorbide depend on that of its feedstock glucose. The prices of glucose in the Asia-Pacific region were stable as the demand from the end-user industries was somewhat consistent. The disruptions in manufacturing processes forced the producers to lower their profit slabs. In the fourth quarter, China imposed restrictions on trade activities as the covid cases surged in the region along with rising inflation leading to decreased consumers’ confidence in the market and thus resulting in the decline in the price trends of isosorbide.

Europe

Europe region was stable in terms of prices of isosorbide in the third quarter of 2022 while the market fluctuated in the fourth quarter. In the third quarter, the stable manufacturing costs and demand from the end-user industries kept the prices of isosorbide floating. However, in the fourth quarter, the trend was adversely affected by rising inflation and ample inventories. Along with this, the region also saw disturbed trade activities due to port congestion which in turn disrupted the whole supply chain. Thus, the prices of isosorbide fluctuated in the European region.

North America

The North American market was steady and stable in terms of demand and supply of isosorbide initially. However, during the end months of the third quarter and the entire fourth quarter, the price trends were affected by the low inquiries from the pharmaceutical sector. In the fourth quarter particularly, the prices took a hit due to rising inflation, logistical challenges, and the high cost of manufacturing. Along with this, the rise in transportation costs further fueled the declining trend in isosorbide prices.
