In particular, corn starch is mostly used as the glucose source. Globally, corn production decreased marginally around this time; however, the export volumes declined significantly, and therefore, the feedstock prices remained subdued throughout the said span. Therefore, despite regular downstream demands from the food and beverage industries, the prices remained downward wavering attributed to the dull upstream dynamics of prices. Overall, a dull market performance was witnessed.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, a similar tepid price trajectory is anticipated for Fructose in the coming months as well since the feedstock prices are showing no signs of improvement.
 

Fructose Price Trend for the Second Half of 2023

The fructose price trend for the latter half of 2023 varied through both the third and the fourth quarters. Fructose prices were relatively firmer in the third quarter than in the fourth quarter. The beverage industry performed better in the comparatively hotter months of the third quarter than in the peak winter months of the fourth quarter. This was directly reflected in the price trajectory of fructose as well since the food and beverage industries are some of the biggest consumers of fructose sugar.

The heightened geopolitical disturbances in the fourth quarter after another war began in the Middle East also caused international trade to suffer, impairing the product shipments, in turn creating a supply glut at the source locations and deficiency in the consumer markets; this was also a reason fructose demands dwelled low during the last quarter. Overall, mixed market behavior was witnessed for fructose in H2’23.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, Fructose price trends will strive for stabilization in the coming months. However, the current supply outlook is a little stressful. Thus, the prices are likely to show narrow variations.
 

Fructose Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

Fructose observed oscillating price trends across various global markets throughout the discussed period. In Asia, prices started strong with high demands from the food and beverage industries because of the Spring holiday season, but as soon as the supplies kept rising, the demands remained steady; hence, fructose prices also started declining in the second quarter.

The European market was dull throughout, whereas the American market picked up later after riding low in the first quarter. Inventories were full at the beginning amidst limited offtakes, but with the rise in the beverage industry in the summer season the demands and prices both grew.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the Fructose price trends are likely to fluctuate further given the bleak demands and current pricing fundamentals.
