Q2 2025:

The decline in crude oil prices worldwide made naphtha production more cost-effective, as the essential feedstock became cheaper.

Q2 2025:
In the Middle East and Africa region, naphtha prices fell moderately during Q2 2025. This was attributed to lower export demand from Asian markets and stable regional refinery output. Despite firm crude oil production in the region, inventory build-up and weak downstream margins led to subdued pricing trends.
Q4 2023:
In Q4 2023, the naphtha market in the Middle East and Africa region saw a steady upward trend owing to OPEC+ production cuts. These cuts led to a decreased supply of naphtha, which, contributed to a bullish market sentiment. In Saudi Arabia, this bullishness was reflected in active trading and purchasing activities, despite the market's overall stability in terms of supply. The region saw a significant increase in naphtha prices compared to the previous year, driven by expectations of higher upstream crude oil prices and stable demand.

Q2 2025:
Latin America's naphtha market is predominantly influenced by its rich natural reserves, particularly in countries like Chile and Brazil. However, political instability and inconsistent regulatory frameworks can lead to significant volatility in naphtha prices. Infrastructure challenges and logistical inefficiencies often impact the supply chain, affecting the region's ability to meet international demand consistently.

Q4 2023:
In Latin America, the naphtha market in Q4 2023 witnessed a consistent upward trend, particularly in Brazil, where prices were notably influenced by expensive imports. Despite the general increase in prices, the latter part of the quarter saw challenges, such as reduced demand and declining exports, which led to decreased factory production and a reduction in new orders. This downturn in purchasing activity and downsizing of inventories reflected the broader economic struggles in the region.

Latest developments in the naphtha industry:
Naphtha is a sort of multi-functional hydrocarbon liquid that is used as a key feedstock in the chemical and refining industries. It is usually derived from crude oil refining process by using the fractional distillation method. This process is carried out by boiling the crude oil into different components based on their boiling points, with naphtha being one of the lighter fractions.
The function of naphtha is to act as the basic unit in the manufacture of many vital products such as plastics, drugs, fertilizers, and synthetic fabrics. In various sectors, its flexibility and availability make it an essential resource for industries across the world, creating economic prosperity and technological progress. Moreover, the advantages of naphtha go beyond manufacturing processes, as the efficient use of it results in the reduction of emissions and finally higher energy efficiency, which is in line with sustainable development goals.
