Northeast Asia: The marginal decrease was primarily influenced by a moderate slowdown in regional demand from the textile and adhesives sectors, which are key consumers of resorcinol in China, Japan, and South Korea. On the supply side, consistent production levels across major chemical plants, combined with relatively stable domestic logistics costs and limited disruptions in port handling, supported price stability. International shipping costs remained steady, as container rates and fuel surcharges did not see significant volatility. Additionally, currency fluctuations in the Japanese Yen and South Korean Won slightly eased the import cost pressures for raw materials, while compliance costs related to chemical safety regulations in China maintained consistent pricing pressure.
Europe: Supply-side constraints due to partial maintenance shutdowns in chemical plants added upward pressure. Additionally, international shipping delays and increased port handling costs affected import prices for feedstock chemicals. Currency fluctuations, particularly a stronger Euro against the USD, contributed to higher regional pricing. Compliance with EU chemical safety standards, including REACH regulations, also added to cost components, reinforcing the upward trend. Increased energy prices in the region further amplified production costs, while domestic logistics and customs duties remained stable. Collectively, these factors resulted in notable price increases across European markets during the quarter.
India: The decrease was primarily due to weakening demand from the leather and adhesive industries following seasonal slowdowns. On the supply side, domestic manufacturers reported stable output, and import availability of feedstock chemicals improved slightly due to favorable shipping conditions. Cost components, including port handling, customs duties, and domestic logistics, remained largely stable. Regulatory compliance costs and safety certification requirements remained steady. The combination of moderate supply pressures and weakening demand contributed to the observed downward price movement in the Indian market.
Southeast Asia: The decline was influenced by soft demand from the rubber, adhesives, and coatings sectors across Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Supply levels remained sufficient, as domestic production and regional imports stabilized, keeping the market well-supplied. International freight costs were moderate, and port handling disruptions were minimal. Currency fluctuations, especially the Thai Baht and Indonesian Rupiah against the USD, had a limited effect on pricing. Regulatory compliance and environmental safety standards added minor cost burdens but did not significantly affect the price trajectory. Overall, the regional pricing trend reflected subdued demand alongside stable supply and logistics conditions.
North America: The growth in pricing was driven by steady demand from the adhesives and automotive sectors in the United States and Canada. Supply-side factors included stable domestic production and consistent imports from Asia. International shipping costs remained stable, but minor fluctuations in customs duties and port handling contributed slightly to higher prices. Currency movements, particularly the USD’s strength, marginally affected import costs. Compliance with federal chemical regulations, including EPA guidelines, continued to be a cost component but did not significantly disrupt pricing. Overall, the North American market displayed moderate price growth driven by balanced demand and stable supply.
