  • What happened to plasticizer prices in 2023?
  • Operating rates for US-based plasticizer plants remained reduced but with the disappointing level of demand from the construction market – as well as the increasing presence of imports – the US market was still amply supplied. Prices have eroded throughout 2023 to date, although they have not fallen quite as steeply as they have in Europe.
  • How did plasticizer prices change in China?
  • In China, plasticizer prices moved up in January along with 2-EH prices, then fell back in February owing to slow demand recovery after the holiday. Prices only fluctuated slightly from March to May.
  • Why are plasticizer prices going down?
  • Competition for volume has been strong amongst domestic players and in response to imports. TOTM (tris (2-ethylhexyl)trimellitate) - an alternative plasticizer for PVC medical devices - saw very sharp price erosion early in the year. But TOTM was not alone and all plasticizers markets saw prices moving down substantially.
  • Why are European plasticizer plants reopening?
  • Producers have continued to operate European 2-EH and plasticizer plants at reduced rates in line with demand. Imports of all general-purpose plasticizers have been competitive, as freight rates fell and the local markets in Asia failed to show any demand improvement, particularly China on which hopes had been pinned.
