Benzene Hexachloride (BHC) Price Trend for Q1 of 2024

This contrasted with the Indian market, which displayed fluctuations; prices initially dropped, then recovered and stabilized by the quarter's end. Europe saw an unstable BHC price trend due to limited trading activities and indefinite shutdowns of manufacturing plants, further impacted by fluctuations in crude oil prices and concerns about overseas imports.
In North America, BHC prices rose sharply due to constrained supply chains. Benzene hexachloride (BHC), particularly in its gamma-isomer form known as lindane, is a crucial compound for pesticide and pharma industries. Thereby, the downstream consumption pushed the prices up, which was further exacerbated by maintenance shutdowns at key petrochemical plants due to adverse weather, aligning with a global increase in petrochemical production and inventory restocking activities around the New Year holidays.
The price movements in all regions were also influenced by the prices of benzene, the primary feedstock for BHC. A bullish trend in the benzene markets also stimulated the price growth for BHC by raising its upstream costs.

About Benzene Hexachloride
Benzene hexachloride, also known as hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), comprises several isomers, among which gamma-HCH (lindane) is the most notable due to its pesticidal properties. It is a synthetic chemical used primarily as an insecticide in agriculture to control pests on crops and in public health to eradicate lice and scabies. Despite its effectiveness, concerns over environmental persistence, toxicity, and potential health risks have led to restrictions and bans in many countries, steering usage towards more regulated applications in public health and veterinary contexts.
