Glycerol Monolaurate Price Trend for Q1 of 2024
Glycerol monolaurate usually follows the price patterns of its feedstock materials, glycerol, and lauric acid. During the period of the first quarter of 2024, the glycerol monolaurate market in Asia saw significant fluctuations, initially motivated by the rising palm oil prices in the early phase. Thereby, the price dynamics remained weak for the majority of the said duration. Even though in the latter phase the feedstock prices started normalizing, while the energy and crude oil prices too continued to support the upstream costs, the dull downstream consumption remained a cause of concern.

In the global market, the trading challenges were exacerbated by geopolitical tensions and logistical issues such as lost shipments due to Houthi attacks and disruptions in the Panama Canal, which affected Asian export rates and overall pricing patterns of glycerol monolaurate.
Conversely, in Europe, the glycerine market faced a downturn due to an oversupply triggered by seasonal demand fluctuations in key importing regions like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, and increased production levels that outstripped domestic demand. The situation was compounded by falling palm oil and soybean prices. Overall, a very mixed price trajectory was witnessed for glycerol monolaurate during Q1’24.
