Market Overview
Duration: Short-term – 2-year price forecast and market outlook
As we navigate through 2023 and beyond, the market dynamics of ethylene oxide and its derivatives, such as ethylene glycols, are influenced by various factors, including fluctuating feedstock prices, environmental regulations and varying demand levels across different applications. The versatility of ethylene oxide, playing in different fields like PET packaging, antifreeze and fibers, to building and construction and even batteries for electric vehicles, has kept demand robust but susceptible to the economic health of these industries. Particularly, the growth in recyclable PET and bio-based polyester fibers is injecting new prospects and challenges into the market. Geopolitical tension and trade policies continue to shape the global supply chain landscape, making the trade dynamics a crucial area of focus. Moreover, the impact of the new capacity, a trend expected to solidify in the coming year, maintaining market oversupply, will keep clouding the global business and the economic health of ethylene oxide, derivatives, and glycols.
