North America Detergent Alcohol Price
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the market in North America experienced a noticeable increase in demand from end use sectors, which contributed to a gradual rise in prices. Simultaneously, the market conditions were further enhanced by the lowering inflation rate across the region. However, challenges were also present due to constrained manufacturing output and a limited presence of finished stocks. Rising costs of crude oil further escalated the production expenses. Additionally, palm oil supply was restricted to the personal care industries due to high demand from biofuel sector, further complicating the market landscape. Amidst these conditions, vendors in December adopted strategic price reductions during the destocking period to encourage new orders, despite a slowdown in exports caused by weaker global demand.
