Europe VAE Redispersible Powder Price Trend

Q1 2025:

As per the VAE redispersible powder price index, the prices of VAE redispersible powder in Europe declined due to a combination of subdued demand and easing feedstock costs. Early-quarter supply disruptions from refinery outages and port delays briefly supported prices, but high production costs and weak offtake from the adhesives and coatings sectors limited recovery. Trade tensions involving proposed U.S. levies on German chemical exports pushed manufacturers to focus on regional markets, worsening oversupply. By quarter-end, falling ethylene and natural gas prices reduced production costs, but industrial sentiment remained weak, with Germany experiencing the sharpest decline compared to the previous quarter.

Q2 2024:

During the second quarter of 2024, the European market faced significant downturn due to various factors. A decline in the prices of crude oil significantly lowered manufacturing costs but failed to revive demand amidst inflation in the construction industry. Although the supply chain network remained balanced, a surge in international shipping rates dampened demand from export markets. Moreover, the German market specifically experienced a steep decline in prices.

Q1 2024:

In Q1 2024, the VAE redispersible powder market in Europe exhibited steady pricing, with consistent supply and steady consumption in the construction sector. Challenges like lowering building permits and growing costs were counterbalanced by positive trends like the recovery of construction activities and growing demand for new buildings. The German market, in specific, saw fluctuations in pricing, with prices rising considerably in January due to supply chain issues and elevated crude oil rates but stabilizing in February. Despite moderate demand and supply constraints, recovery signs in the construction sector indicate a cautiously positive outlook.

Q4 2023:

The market witnessed multiple hurdles, marked by sluggish demand and an oversupplied market. The most significant challenges stemmed from weak performance in the construction sector, particularly within the residential sphere, which led to reduced VAE redispersible powder demand. This was compounded by a decline in the prices of key raw materials like vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), further driving down VAE redispersible powder prices. In Germany, the market experienced notable price reductions, although no plant shutdowns were reported. Despite these adversities, the industry looks toward potential stabilization as the market adjusts.

North America VAE Redispersible Powder Price Trend

Q1 2025:

As per the VAE redispersible powder price index, in Q1 2025, the prices of VAE redispersible powder in the North American region declined due to persistent oversupply and limited demand recovery. Early in the quarter, competitive imports from Germany and moderate construction sector demand pressured prices. Although federal infrastructure spending offered some support, high interest rates and project delays dampened overall consumption. Mid-quarter, elevated import volumes and inventory accumulation further saturated the market. Feedstock costs remained stable, with steady vinyl acetate prices balancing out a slight ethylene increase. Despite consistent production levels, weak downstream demand and competitive pressures continued to drive prices downward through quarter-end, especially in the US.

Q2 2024:

In Q2 2024, the North American market witnessed a notable price decline due to cheaper imports from Europe and increased global shipping rates. These low-cost imports, coupled with sluggish demand from the struggling construction sector, forced North American suppliers to reduce prices. Seasonal declines in construction activity, specifically in non-residential markets, further pressured prices downward. Overall, the market faced a challenging pricing environment due to external and internal pressures.

Q1 2024:

In Q1 2024, VAE redispersible powder prices in North America remained generally stable due to steady supply and minimal disturbances in the supply chain. Demand was stable, with the construction sector showing limited growth. The U.S. experienced some price fluctuations in January due to higher construction expenses and freight rates, followed by stability in February as supply improved and costs decreased.

Q4 2023:

In North America, the market faced significant obstacles due to excessive supply and weakened construction industry demand, primarily in the United States. Lower demand was notably influenced by decreased activities in the construction sector and reduced investor confidence. This slowdown in construction led to a notable drop in the demand for VAE redispersible powder. Additional market pressures arose from supply chain challenges, including long delivery times exacerbated by a scarcity of truck drivers. Nonetheless, no production facilities were shut down during this period. Despite these difficulties, industry optimism remains, spurred by expectations of prospective policy changes and seasonal demands which may revitalize construction activities.
