In the fourth quarter of 2023, the United States glycerin market experienced significant price declines as a result of excess production coupled with diminished demand from essential industries. Additionally, lower prices for raw materials, including palm oil, exerted influence on the market. Supply chain disruptions and escalating shipping costs further contributed to the downward trend. Nevertheless, by November, prices of crude glycerin began to rise as demand from downstream sectors saw an increase.

The price trend for glycerin in South Korea for Q4 2023, reached 750 USD/MT in December. The glycerin market of South Korea was turbulent in Q4 of 2023. Less inventories and reduced supply- built pressure in the market and higher demand from low-end manufacturing units also showed their impact on prices. Seasonal demand and fluctuating edible oil prices also changed the price tendency of glycerin. Despite all these odds, the country showed a significant decline in glycerin prices when compared to the last quarter.

The price trend for glycerin in England for Q4 2023 reached 1865 USD/MT in December.  In England, glycerin prices in Q4 2023 were heavily influenced by a surplus in global markets and lower palm oil prices, leading to a decline in prices. By the end of the season, prices went up as a result of increased demand from downstream industries and growing freight expenses. England's market trends mirrored the dynamics of other major importing regions in Europe.

The price trend for glycerin in Saudi Arabia for Q4 2023, reached 910 USD/MT in December. During Q4 2023, Saudi Arabia's glycerin market experienced slight price increases, driven by higher seasonal demand and constrained inventories. The market conditions were favorably impacted by Saudi Arabia's robust economy, which was bolstered by high oil prices and Saudi Aramco's strategic listing.

North America Glycerin Price

During Q4 2023, the North America market faced downward price pressures due to a combination of factors.
