Europe Tetrasodium EDTA Price

Q3 2024:

In Q3 2024, the tetrasodium EDTA market in the Europe region witnessed a consistent drop in prices, primarily influenced by developments in Germany. This decline was attributed to lower production costs resulting from decreased energy prices and stable oil rates, leading to an oversupply situation. At the same time, the demand from significant industries diminished, which created an imbalance in the market.  In Germany, reduced demand from the personal care and food industries, along with a contracting manufacturing sector, further exacerbated the situation. Supply uncertainties, including plant shutdowns at major producers, limited consumption from the polymer industry, thereby sustaining the downward pricing trend throughout the quarter.

Q2 2024:

In Q2 2024, the tetrasodium EDTA market in Europe experienced a consistent rise in prices, influenced by a mix of economic, logistical, and geopolitical factors. The increase in operational costs for carriers, driven by soaring fuel prices, along with heightened production expenses in key production regions, were significant factors. In Germany, the market felt the effects of regional inflation and a weakening US dollar, creating an inflationary atmosphere that compelled businesses to transfer higher costs to consumers. In line with this, seasonal fluctuations in supply and demand, along with opportunistic trading in response to inventory shortages, helped maintain the upward pricing trend throughout the quarter, indicating a strong yet challenging market scenario.

Q4 2023:

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the tetrasodium EDTA market in Europe experienced volatility with fluctuating prices. Initially, prices rose from October through November due to strong demand, partly driven by positive economic conditions and the need to restock inventories ahead of winter. This oversupply, coupled with higher global shipping costs, discouraged further orders and pressured prices downwards. Additionally, favorable weather conditions resulted in good crop yields, reducing raw material costs and contributing to a bearish market outlook. As the market became cautious, businesses adopted a wait-and-see approach, responding to shifting dynamics in supply and demand.

North America Tetrasodium EDTA Price

Q3 2024:

In Q3 2024, the North American tetrasodium EDTA market witnessed prices decline due to multiple influencing factors. An oversupply emerged as both domestic and international demand weakened, resulting in excess inventories that pushed prices lower. In line with this, the production sector encountered setbacks with diminished performance, reducing the need for inputs and extending lead times from suppliers. Trading activities slowed as end-users became more cautious, further dampening market momentum. However, towards the quarter’s end, a shift occurred when Unites States importers and suppliers faced inventory scarcities, partly triggered by regional holidays disrupting supply chains. This led to a partial price recovery driven by heightened demand from the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries, although the overall market remained volatile and cautious.

Q2 2024:

In the second quarter of 2024, the North American tetrasodium EDTA market highlighted significant supply chain challenges and evolving market dynamics. Price trends reflected the intricate balance between limited supply and rising demand, influenced by factors, such as climate-induced shipping disruptions and plant shutdowns. These disruptions underscored the vulnerability of concentrated production networks and the escalating costs of raw materials. Additionally, logistical issues, including labor disputes at major ports and the early peak shipping season, further strained the supply chain. These elements collectively contributed to prolonged lead times and heightened price volatility. The market participants are increasingly recognizing the necessity for diversified sourcing strategies and enhanced forecasting to navigate the ongoing uncertainties and bolster supply chain resilience.

Q4 2023:

In Q4 of 2023, the North American tetrasodium EDTA market faced a turbulent period, marked by fluctuating prices. Initially, the market saw a steady increase in prices through October and November due to strong demand, particularly from Asia, influenced by an optimistic market outlook and increased national inquiries as winter approached. Companies were vigorously restocking inventories, maintaining a robust market environment. The steady operation of the EDTA and formaldehyde markets, alongside active trade, and stable procurement by downstream industries, also contributed to this trend. However, by December, an oversupply of Tetrasodium EDTA emerged, pushing prices downwards as supply outstripped demand. Rising global shipping costs further discouraged additional orders, exacerbating the market's bearish trend.

Asia Pacific Tetrasodium EDTA Price

Q3 2024:

During Q3 2024, the tetrasodium EDTA market in the Asia Pacific region faced notable price decreases caused by oversupply and weakened demand. Manufacturers made efforts to reduce the surplus inventories that had built up during times of high production. In China, price trends aligned with those globally, as the appreciation of the local currency made it harder for exporters to compete. Additional challenges, such as seasonal production halts and adverse weather conditions, further disrupted the balance of supply and demand, resulting in decreased consumption rates. While there was a slight rebound in prices in September due to companies making advance purchases for the upcoming festive seasons, persistent challenges like shipping delays and increasing input costs persisted to strain the market.

Q2 2024:

Throughout the second quarter of 2024, the Asia Pacific region’s tetrasodium EDTA market experienced upward pricing trends driven by constrained supply chains and robust demand from downstream industries. Increasing production costs, driven by elevated energy and logistics expenses, have heightened market challenges. Maintenance shutdowns in key manufacturing facilities further limited product availability, exacerbating scarcity. In China, strong international and domestic demand, supported by economic recovery and strategic stockpiling by traders, significantly impacted the market. Seasonal factors, including increased post-holiday production, contributed to sustained price rises. Despite ongoing challenges such as shipping disruptions and rising input costs, the market demonstrated resilience, maintaining a positive pricing trajectory and reflecting strong industrial activity across the region.

Q4 2023:

The market for tetrasodium EDTA experienced a marked shift in Asia Pacific, especially in China during Q4 of 2023. October saw a sharp rise in prices driven by a rise in the need from end-users. However, as the quarter progressed, prices started to decline due to a drop in raw material costs, particularly for Formaldehyde, and increased imports of EDTA acid from Europe at modest prices. The production of Tetrasodium EDTA in China intimately followed consumer demand, reflecting these dynamic market conditions. Reduced demand both domestically and globally further influenced the market trends towards the end of the quarter.
