Behenyl Alcohol Price Trend for the Second Half of 2024

Asia

During the latter half of 2024, the Behenyl Alcohol price curve exhibited mixed trends in the Asian markets. Behenyl Alcohol is produced through the hydrogenation of plant oils such as rapeseed oil, soybean oil, and peanut oil. As a result, its price trend closely followed that of its feedstocks during this period.

In the early part of the quarter, Behenyl Alcohol prices remained range-bound as demand and supply were relatively balanced. Additionally, the upstream market experienced minimal fluctuations during the first two months of the period. However, in September, prices were more forward looking as rapeseed oil costs surged due to limited availability in the market. This increase in production costs was reflected in retail prices. After peaking in November, prices declined as upstream costs stabilized.

Meanwhile, in the Indian market, Behenyl Alcohol prices fluctuated throughout the quarter. Initially, prices moved within a narrow range before experiencing a sharp increase due to rising upstream costs. However, towards the end of the quarter, prices stabilized as market conditions normalized.

Europe

The Behenyl Alcohol price curve in Europe closely followed the trend observed in Asian markets, primarily influenced by feedstock prices during the second half of 2024. Fluctuating production costs and lingering logistical issues shaped market sentiment, while variations in upstream costs added further complexity.

Europe faced unique challenges, including unexpected weather conditions that affected crop yields in key growing regions. This resulted in supply shortages, leading to intermittent price increases in the middle of the period. Additionally, the European market contended with higher energy costs and inflationary pressures, further driving up production expenses. However, towards the end of the period, prices began stabilizing as upstream industries adjusted to these challenges.

North America

In H2’24, the prices of Behenyl Alcohol in the North American markets mirrored the trend of the other global markets, particularly the Chinese markets. The industry saw a combination of rising prices due to reduced supply and periods of stabilization as new harvests entered the market. Additionally, North American demand remained steady, driven by both domestic consumption and export requirements.
