Europe Defoamer Surfactant Price

Q2 2024:

During Q2 2024, there was an increase in the European market, as prices rose early owing to enhanced supply and demand in Germany. There were signs of improvement in the chemical sector in Germany, including better business expectations and an optimistic business climate index. Nevertheless, the issue of demand persisted, as many firms continued to face a lack of enough orders. Despite these difficulties, chemical firms expected growth in international orders and intended to accelerate prices. Throughout the quarter, rates continued to increase, although at a reduced pace. Replenishing efforts ahead of summer break contributed to market stability, although challenges from less expensive Asian imports persisted. Businesses were still being burdened by high raw material and energy costs, as well as low order volumes. However, companies in Germany showed a cautiously optimistic view of the overall market, taking strategic actions to adjust to the tough conditions.

Q1 2024:

The market in Europe for defoamer surfactants faced a price reduction than the previous year. Germany, in particular, witnessed notable price swings all over the Q1. The market was characterized by low demand and a surplus of materials, which led to fewer inquiries and slower procurement activities. Although production costs remained stable, decreased aid from raw materials accelerated manufacturing pressures. The first half of the quarter saw lowered business operations, but conditions improved somewhat in the latter half. In spite of these improvements, the overall market remained cautious, with ongoing challenges reflecting a tentative outlook in the region.

Q4 2023:

During Q4 2023, the Europe market faced declining prices and bearish market sentiments. The downturn began in October with reduced demand from key industries, such as coatings, paper and pulp, as well as water treatment. This decline was accompanied by reduced new orders and a contraction in manufacturing output. Although there was a slight recovery in the manufacturing PMI, it remained indicative of a continued slowdown. The supply chain saw some relief from weak buyer demand, but prices persisted to fall into November due to sustained low demand and ample regional material availability.

This analysis can be extended to include detailed defoamer surfactant price information for a comprehensive list of countries.

Region Countries Covered
Europe Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Russia, Turkey, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, Romania, Finland, Czech Republic, Portugal, and Greece, among other European countries.


North America Defoamer Surfactant Price

Q2 2024:

The North American market saw a decline in defoamer surfactant prices compared to the previous year, with a further drop from the prior quarter. The United States, in particular, experienced significant price volatility, primarily due to a combination of weak consumer demand and an excess of available materials. This imbalance led to reduced inquiries and slower procurement processes. While production costs remained relatively stable, the lack of support from upstream raw materials intensified the pressure on manufacturers. The first half of the quarter was particularly slow, with low consumption levels impacting business operations. Although there were signs of price stabilization by the quarter's end, the overall market environment remained challenging.

Q1 2024:

The market in North America saw a reduction in defoamer surfactant rates than the previous year, with a further drop from the last quarter. The United States, in particular, witnessed price volatility, primarily due to a combination of weak customer demand and an excess of available materials. This imbalance led to decreased inquiries and slower procurement processes. While production expenses remained relatively stable, the lack of help from upstream raw materials intensified the pressure on manufacturers. The Q1 2024 was particularly slow, with low consumption levels influencing business functions. Although there were signs of price stabilization by the quarter's end, the overall market environment remained challenging.

Q4 2023:

During Q4 2023, the North American market showed mixed trends, with prices shifting due to various influences. Demand from numerous industries, such as detergents and water treatment remained weak, affecting overall market. The end of the summer period, which impelled surfactant demand, added to the market's challenges. Additionally, low-cost imports increased descending pressure on costs amidst lackluster consumer inquiries. Despite ample domestic supply, procurement was constrained, resulting in reduced prices. Throughout the quarter, the market in the U.S. exhibited a bearish outlook, driven by a combination of weak demand and adverse economic conditions.

Asia Pacific Defoamer Surfactant Price

Q2 2024:

In Q2 2024, the Asia-Pacific market observed a substantial rise in prices, propelled by strong demand across several downstream sectors and accelerated adoption due to the summer season. The growth in industrial work, particularly in the treatment of water and paper manufacturing, along with escalating energy costs and feedstock prices, fueled this trend. Besides, ongoing logistical issues, including high ocean freight prices, led to accelerated product pricing. China, in particular, noticed significant rate fluctuations, with seasonal factors driving up demand. The summer season saw a sharp rise in consumption, resulting in increased prices in comparison to the same time the previous year. The supply alignment challenges, high demand, and escalated input costs promoted a positive sentiment in the market, leading to steady price growth for the quarter.

Q1 2024:

In the Asia Pacific region, defoamer surfactant prices continued to follow a downward trajectory, mirroring the trend from the previous year and showing a further drop from the last quarter. China, a key player in this market, experienced notable price instability due to diminished consumer demand and an excess supply of materials. The market's sluggish pace was worsened by the holidays, leading to decreased business operations and slower procurement activities. While production costs remained consistent, the reduced support from raw materials added pressure to manufacturing. The overall market outlook remained cautious, with prices continuing to fall in Q1 2024, though some stabilization was observed toward the quarter's close.

Q4 2023:

In the Asia Pacific region, the defoamer surfactant market remained stable in the final quarter of 2023, marked by steady inventories and consistent production levels from local manufacturers. In contrast, China faced a downturn as ample supply contributed to a bearish market trend. Regular production activities kept supplies adequate, but prices for silicon-based surfactant dropped due to bearish market conditions and excess inventory. Despite China's downward trend and falling prices, the overall market in the region stayed balanced, with adequate supplies and stable production rates.

Product Description

Defoamer surfactant is chemical additive that is used to prevent or break up foam. It comprises mineral oil or silicone and a hydrophobic solid, such as hydrophobic silica, ethylene-bis-stearamide, and fatty acid or alcohol. It works by disrupting the surfactant film that stabilizes the foam bubbles, causing them to collapse.

Defoamer surfactant helps in maintaining smooth and uninterrupted industrial processes. It benefits in improving production efficiency and reducing downtime that is associated with foam-related issues in industrial settings. It also aids in increasing the lifespan of industrial equipment and machinery.

Apart from this, defoamer surfactant is widely employed in the food and beverage (F&B) sector to prevent excessive foam that can affect the quality of the end food products. It also assists in maintaining enhanced freshness and quality of food items.
