Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025

Northeast Asia: Prices in Northeast Asia experienced a notable decline. The key drivers included subdued demand from the wood processing and foundry sectors. On the supply side, higher inventories from domestic manufacturers eased short-term scarcity pressures. Contributing cost factors included reduced international shipping rates due to lower fuel prices and limited port congestion, as well as stable customs and domestic logistics costs. Currency fluctuations in major currencies, such as the Chinese Yuan against the US Dollar, also supported a lower import-adjusted cost. Additionally, compliance and certification expenses, including environmental and occupational safety standards, remained largely unchanged, leaving no upward pressure on local pricing. Overall, a combination of weaker downstream demand, adequate supply, and moderated operational costs resulted in a significant price contraction in the region during this quarter.

Europe: Demand-side trends were influenced by slower activity in the resins and adhesives sectors, partially offset by steady demand from the foundry industry. On the supply side, European producers maintained stable output, while imports from Asia faced moderate logistical delays but no major disruption. Key cost determinants included adequate fluctuations in international freight and port handling charges, as well as energy costs impacting local production. The Euro/USD exchange rate remained relatively stable, preventing any major cost pass-through effects. Domestic compliance obligations for safety and environmental standards also contributed minimally to overall cost changes.

North America: The decline was largely driven by reduced consumption in the automotive and foundry sectors, where end-users curtailed procurement amid slowing industrial activity. Supply-side factors included steady production from domestic manufacturers coupled with increased inventory levels, which reduced scarcity-driven price support. Additional cost considerations included moderate port handling and customs fees, while international shipping costs declined marginally due to lower demand for bulk imports. Currency volatility was minimal, and domestic logistics and storage costs remained stable. Regulatory compliance costs, such as environmental reporting and occupational health standards, had a negligible impact on overall pricing.

Latest developments in the Furfuryl Alcohol Industry:

• July 2025: An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of incorporating furfuryl alcohol into diesel–plastic fuel blends. The investigation aimed to optimize blend composition for enhanced combustion performance, reduced emissions, and improved fuel efficiency. Furfuryl alcohol, a bio-based furan derivative with high oxygen content, was selected as an additive due to its ability to increase cetane number, promote complete combustion, and reduce particulate and hydrocarbon emissions in fuel blends.
   
• February 2024: PFC International signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Assam Bio Refinery Private Limited (ABRPL) to set up a bio-refinery plant in Numaligarh, Assam. The plant will produce 2G bioethanol along with other products, such as furfuryl alcohol, acetic acid, liquid CO2 and 24 MW bio-coal using dry bamboo as the input raw material.

Product Description

Furfuryl alcohol (FA) is a bio-based chemical primarily derived from agricultural residues, such as corn cobs, oat hulls, and sugarcane bagasse. Its production involves the catalytic hydrogenation of furfural, wherein furfural reacts with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, typically copper chromite or nickel. This colorless to light yellow liquid, known for its distinctive odor, is prized across various industrial applications for its excellent solubility in organic solvents. This high-reactivity compound is also utilized as an intermediate in producing furan resins, which are crucial for sand binders in metal casting processes. Moreover, FA is essential in manufacturing corrosion-resistant materials, significantly enhancing the longevity of infrastructure in the construction industry. In the agricultural sector, it plays a vital role in formulating pesticides and herbicides, thereby improving crop productivity. FA's renewable nature and alignment with eco-friendly practices make it a preferred choice in light of stringent environmental regulations.
