Polyisoprene Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

Asia

As the manufacturing industries started reviving in China after the Covid 19 lockdown was lifted, demands from downstream automobiles, rubber, and latex saw a hike, leading to a rise in Polyisoprene prices. Prices inclined throughout the first quarter, but as the quarter shifted, some downward movement was seen in Q2’s first month, as the Polyisoprene inventory levels had risen. But due to the rise in the number of queries from both the domestic and international markets, the demand again dominated over other factors, such as lowered upstream costs and existing stocks, keeping the price trends for Polyisoprene on a positive trajectory.

Europe

Mixed sentiments were observed in the Polyisoprene sector in European markets. During Q1, the prices hovered at lower values as the demand, especially from the automobile sector, took a hit. Also, the port congestions and freight difficulties affected the consumer’s confidence in the market. But soon, the market recovered in the second quarter due to the rise in new inquiries from the market, causing the polyisoprene prices to incline.

North America

The polyisoprene market had a slow start yet was positive and inclined until mid-Q1. But as the interest rates heightened and the stockpiles rose, prices declined in March only to recover at the end of the next quarter. The downstream demands from the automotive, rubber, and latex industries primarily drove these fluctuations in the market trends.

Analyst insight

According to Procurement Resource, the market projection for Polyisoprene looks good, and the price trends will likely rise. The uncertain demands from downstream industries will continue to be the major influencing factor in determining price trends.

About

Polyisoprene is the collective class of polymers obtained via the polymerization of isoprene. It is an elastomer, i.e., it can recover its original shape after being stretched or deformed. Polyisoprene is a diene polymer consisting of two double bonds in the carbon backbone. Usually, it exists in 4 isomeric forms, with the cis (cis-1,4-polyisoprene) and trans forms being more common. The cis isomer is commonly referred to as natural rubber, which has been extracted naturally from tree sap since times immemorial.

Production Processes

  • Production of Polyisoprene from Polymerization

Polyisoprene is produced via the polymerization of isoprene in the presence of suitable catalysts. The yield and form of isomer depend on which catalyst is used. Likewise, the polymerization process in the presence of Zeigler-Natta catalyst produces a highly pure form of cis polyisoprene.

Methodology

The displayed pricing data is derived through weighted average purchase price, including contract and spot transactions at the specified locations unless otherwise stated. The information provided comes from the compilation and processing of commercial data officially reported for each nation (i.e. government agencies, external trade bodies, and industry publications).
