Sodium Stearate Price Trend for First Half of 2023
Asia
In the first quarter of 2023, the prices of sodium stearate stumbled due to the downfall of the palm oil market. During the first half of Q1, the market sentiments were majorly affected by the reduction in export tax on palm oil by Indonesia. The dynamics did not improve in the second quarter, too.

There was a slight incline during the initial phase as the demand inclined with the help of the festival season. But the consumption in the domestic markets soon fell; further, the production activities far exceeded the existing demand, hampering the price trend of sodium stearate.
Europe
The prices of sodium stearate in the first quarter of 2023 declined as consumers did not show any interest in the sector. The weak demand was met with the high supply rates, which increased the gap between supply and demand, which had an adverse effect on the price trend of sodium stearate.
In the second quarter, the traders had to reduce their profit margins amid consistently falling prices of sodium stearate. In addition to this, the surge in imports and challenging climatic conditions ultimately led to the fall in the prices of sodium stearate.
North America
The downstream industries witnessed volatility as the imports from Indonesia remained uncertain in the first quarter of 2023, which affected the price trend negatively. In the second quarter, however, the prices revived as the export ban on palm oil from Indonesia led to a fall in the level of availability of feedstock materials in the region. The domestic and international traders looked forward to stocking up amid conditions of shortage of raw materials, which supported the rise in the prices of sodium stearate.

Sodium stearate is a salt of stearic acid which acts as an amphiphilic compound. It is also used as an emulsifier, foaming agent, and thickening substance and thus is extensively used in the soaps, cosmetics, and personal care industries.
