Market Overview
Duration: Short-term – 2-year price forecast and market outlook
The supply constraints of 2018 caused by a heavy turnaround calendar are a fast-fading memory. Around 12% of total capacity was unavailable in the February to September period of last year, which balanced the markets and supported prices.
The restoration of the supply and the global economic slowdown has now turned the picture upside down. Regional and global Oxo markets are well-supplied, and the competition between suppliers is intensifying. As major players are jockeying for market share, prices are under pressure. With limited outlets in weak domestic markets, producers are seeking to extend their reach, which provides overseas buyers with opportunities that were not available in the past.

Service to help accurately navigate the changing market dynamics.
Comprehensive monthly market price, supply, demand, and trade data and analysis for:
