The polyacrylonitrile (PAN) prices in the United States for Q4 2023 reached 2554 USD/MT in December. The market saw volatile prices in the period. Initially, domestic demand was low, resulting in subdued prices. However, as the quarter approached, demand picked up, and suppliers redirected stocks to international markets, creating a domestic supply crisis. This shift led to rising PAN costs and varied market performance by year-end.
The price trend for polyacrylonitrile (PAN) in China for Q4 2023, reached 1388 USD/MT in December. During this quarter, the market tackled a downward trend in prices. An oversupply of inventory combined with weak domestic demand exerted considerable pressure on prices. As international demand diminished, this further intensified the price decline. Reduced production costs from falling feedstock prices did less to support the market, resulting in a lackluster performance overall.
The price trend for PAN in Germany for Q4 2023, reached 3562 USD/MT in December. The market experienced disruptions during this quarter. Maintenance shutdowns in related sectors led to decreased demand, while logistical issues such as port congestion and shipping problems, exacerbated by regional conflicts, strained supply chains. This situation led to a turbulent market with weak demand and limited supply impacting prices.
