Asia
The Asian ATMP (Amino Trimethylene Phosphonic Acid) market witnessed very mixed price patterns in the first half of 2023. Prices depended on the feedstock phosphorous acid and ammonium chloride prices and the demands from downstream construction, coating, and dyeing sectors. ATMP prices were stable for most of the first quarter, but a falling pattern was visible in the second quarter as the market became saturated and demands dipped. Overall, an oscillating price trend for ATMP (Amino Trimethylene Phosphonic Acid) was observed in the Asian market.
Europe
The European ATMP (Amino Trimethylene Phosphonic Acid) market showed low swinging patterns in the said period. The struggling European economies had a hard time with downstream construction and other sectors, which, coupled with falling feedstock prices, contributed to the declining price trend. Further, the improved freight conditions and restored supply chains amidst low demands aided the downward trajectory for ATMP prices.
North America
The North American ATMP (Amino Trimethylene Phosphonic Acid) prices mimicked the trend seen in the European market and remained fluctuating throughout the period of discussion. After the restoration of trade routes and industrial revival in China, cheaper Asian imports were accessible. Further, the falling prices of phosphorous contributed to a lower wavering price pattern.
