Naphthalene Price Trend for the H1 of 2023
Asia
The price trend of naphthalene fluctuated in the first quarter of 2023 as the cost of crude oil remained uncertain throughout the quarter. The slow movement of the market forced the manufacturers to adopt a wait-and-see approach and caused the demand for the product in the market to decline. However, the second quarter was favourable for the prices of naphthalene. The market in this quarter surged due to lower supply from the US markets.
Europe
A stagnancy in the trajectory of naphthalene prices was seen in the first quarter of 2023. In this quarter, the delays in shipments, low demand, and reduced production activities due to high inflation and weak economic growth of the market led to a stable trend. These factors continued to influence the market even in the second quarter. Along with this, the PVC and agrochemical industries showcased a low interest in naphthalene which led to the problem of oversupply in the region that eventually caused the downfall in naphthalene prices.
North America
The prices of naphthalene declined gradually in the first and second quarters of 2023 due to the adverse effects of weak demand and dipping market activities in the region. The reduction in demand for naphthalene caused the level of inventories to rise and sliding feedstock prices aided in the fall of naphthalene prices. Amid these market conditions, the traders were eventually forced to reduce their profit margins, which led to the disruption in trading cycles.
Analyst Insight

About
Naphthalene is a white, crystalline aromatic hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C10H8. It is composed of two fused benzene rings and is commonly found in coal tar and petroleum. With a distinct, pungent odor, naphthalene is often used as a moth repellent or as a raw material in the production of dyes, resins, and plastics. It is volatile and sublimes at room temperature, transitioning from a solid to a gas without becoming a liquid.
