Key factors included economic challenges and weakened demand from the industrial cleaning and petrochemical industries. Lower crude oil costs translated into reduced manufacturing expenses, amplifying the downward pressure on market prices. Logistical disruptions, particularly from public holidays affecting transportation and collection, contributed to oversupply issues. Germany experienced notable price drops because of oversupply and declining demand in key industries. The trend was further intensified by seasonal patterns, as industrial operations slowed down during the summer.
Q1 2024:
Heavy aromatic naphtha solvent prices in Europe rose during the first quarter of 2024, despite a drop in demand. Economic uncertainty, lower construction activity, and a shift in customer tastes all contributed to the decline in demand.

North America Heavy Aromatic Naphtha Solvent Price
Q2 2024:
During the Q2 of 2024, market in the North America region witnessed a steady reduction in prices. The main reason for this decline was the lower production expenses associated with the fall in crude oil prices. The petrochemical and industrial cleaning industries experienced reduced growth and saw lower demand, causing a more pronounced decline in prices. The United States saw the most marked price changes, influenced by high inventory levels and subdued usage. Although the US manufacturing index rose slightly, signaling positive production prospects, it was insufficient to counteract the oversupply and stagnant demand.
Q1 2024:
Prices in the North American market for the product increased during the first quarter of 2024. This was principally caused by a rise in feedstock prices, which increased pressure on overall production costs. In addition, downstream industry demand for the product remained stable, supporting the price increase.

Asia Pacific Heavy Aromatic Naphtha Solvent Price
Q2 2024:
In the second quarter of 2024, the heavy aromatic naphtha solvent market in Asia Pacific experienced a significant decrease in prices. One major factor was the surplus, with production continuing despite high inventory levels, leading suppliers to lessen prices in order to stay competitive.

Economic uncertainties and worries about inflation continued to weaken manufacturing activity and purchasing trends. India experienced major cos fluctuations in the area, impacted by post-monsoon recovery and strategic inventory control. In comparison to the earlier quarter, prices dropped considerably, indicating strong unfavorable sentiment. Despite potential improvement from the paints and automotive sectors towards the end of the quarter, the overall market conditions stayed bearish, because of imbalances in supply and demand alongside broader economic challenges.
Q1 2024:
In the Q1 of 2024, the product’s prices displayed an upward trajectory in the Asia Pacific region. This trend was driven by considerable cost pressure from naphtha and crude oil prices.
