Thus, in the third and fourth quarters, these downstream industries had a major impact in determining the trajectory of the benzaldehyde-2-sulphonic acid price trend. From the trajectory of the benzaldehyde-2-sulphonic acid price graph, it was evident that the end-user industries registered a rough run during the above-mentioned period.

The Asia Pacific, European, and North American markets all witnessed an excessive rise in the level of inventories while consumer demand remained negligible. In addition to this, the consistently fluctuating cost of feedstock chemicals and global oscillations in the crude oil sector exerted a negative influence on the overall worldwide dynamics of the market, leading to fluctuations in the benzaldehyde-2-sulphonic acid prices.

Benzaldehyde-2-Sulphonic Acid Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

Benzaldehyde-2-Sulphonic Acid price trend closely followed that of feedstocks Chlorobenzaldehyde and sodium sulfate. Prices remained unsettled throughout the said period in the Asian market. Low demands were registered from the downstream coloring and detergent industries which created cost pressure for suppliers worldwide.

The freight normalization, coupled with declining energy prices and redefined supply chains, also eased the upstream costs, further exerting pressure on the price trend for benzaldehyde-2-sulphonic acid. But a consistent incline in Sodium Sulphate prices and turbulent benzaldehyde prices aided in stabilizing the Benzaldehyde-2-Sulphonic Acid market. Overall, the market stayed afloat with oscillating price patterns.
