Europe Ethylene Acrylic Acid Copolymer Price
Q2 2024:
The second quarter of 2024 witnessed a modest downfall in prices across Europe’s EAA market due to factors like rising local suppliers' competition and reduced construction demand. Moreover, a cautious economic outlook kept the industry dynamic bearish, with shipping delays and other supply chain problems further unsettling the market. Germany, in particular, saw steep price drops, influenced by increased manufacturing expenses and lowered demand from sectors like construction. Besides this, strikes at major German ports exacerbated supply chain issues in June, halting activities temporarily. The strikes impacted the flow of exports in automotive and machinery, threatening further delays. Overall, these structural weaknesses and labor disputes kept the European EAA market in a subdued state.
Q4 2023:
The European market during Q4 was marked by volatility, with an initial price increase in October accompanied by a decline. Early gains were due to a slight rise in feedstock ethylene as well as acrylic acid costs, but these were offset by sustained cost pressures and low demand from the packaging sector, impacting profitability. As the quarter progressed, decrease in latest orders and a negative market outlook led to lower EAA prices. Compounding these challenges were supply problems in the Red Sea by mid-December, further complicating the European market's recovery efforts and highlighting ongoing demand and supply issues.

North America Ethylene Acrylic Acid Copolymer Price
Q2 2024:
In the second quarter of 2024, ethylene acrylic acid copolymer (EAA) rates surged in North America, mainly due to restricted supply and increased crude oil costs. Moreover, low levels of stocks and peaked crude rates led the market conditions to become increasingly pressured. Along with this, several weather interruptions, such as the season of hurricanes, compounded these challenges, affecting both manufacturing expenses and demand. Besides this, shortages in containers and supply chain obstacles further added to the rising EAA rates across the region. The United States experienced some of the most volatile price shifts, with the hurricane season amplifying constraints in transportation. Moreover, logistical issues were evident as shipments from various regions declined by late June.
Q4 2023:
The market for ethylene acrylic acid copolymer underwent volatility during Q4 2023 in North America. Early on, prices fell due to decreased feedstock rates for ethylene and acrylic acid and weakened demand in the packaging industry. As the quarter advanced, procurement activities picked up, spurred by the approaching holiday season, which boosted demand both domestically and internationally. Rising ethylene rates increased production costs, compounded by supply chain disruptions at the Panama Canal on account of the drought. In spite of these initial hurdles, the EAA market showed resilience by the quarter's end, influenced by a combination of fluctuating feedstock prices, changes in demand, and logistical challenges.

Asia Pacific Ethylene Acrylic Acid Copolymer Price
Q2 2024:
In the Asia Pacific region, the market for ethylene acrylic acid copolymer showed a stable and slightly increasing price trend in Q2 2024. In China, EAA prices started to rise in April, largely influenced by increased raw material costs for acrylic acid and ethylene. In addition, the region saw limited accessibility of EAA and hiked demand from sectors like packaging and adhesives, pushing prices upward. Moreover, the construction sector demand added to the pressure, although supply chain problems also impacted rates. Besides this, the region faced shipping disruptions, particularly due to escalating Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, which prompted some vessels to take a costlier and longer route around southern Africa. Furthermore, plant issues at several facilities briefly disrupted supply, but ample stockpiles in the region helped mitigate severe impacts on the market.
Q4 2023:
The APAC region's ethylene acrylic acid copolymer (EAA) market exhibited mixed signals in the final quarter of 2023, with prices generally rising before a decline towards the end. Production cuts by Chinese manufacturers aimed at stabilizing margins resulted in moderate but steady supply levels. Demand remained low across domestic and international markets, except for a few niche buyers. Price variations were influenced by limited supply and varying international demand, particularly in China, India, and Indonesia. By the end of the quarter, traders' destocking practices resulted in lower prices, although expected developments in financial activities and procurement trends may stabilize the market moving forward. There were no plant closures reported for EAA production during this period.
