Molybdenum Disulfide Price Trend for First Half of 2023

Asia

The production of molybdenum disulfide involves the use of many molybdenum salts, and thus, they have a significant impact on its price trend. The Asia Pacific market witnessed a steep decline in the price trend of molybdenum disulfide as the production activities in China and South Korea inclined by several folds, and the low demand from both domestic and foreign markets worsened the situation. During the first two quarters, due to low rates of procurement, the level of inventories rose by significant amounts and led to a downfall in the prices of molybdenum disulfide.

Europe

The first two quarters of 2023 struggled to stabilize the prices of molybdenum disulfide. The market fundamentals of the region were adversely affected by the subdued demand and influx of excess number of imports. Additionally, the products imported from Asian countries such as China and South Korea were much cheaper as compared to the domestic prices, and this resulted in a rise in the competitiveness of the region and, in turn decline in the prices of molybdenum disulfide.

North America

As opposed to European and Asia Pacific countries, the demand for molybdenum disulfide was moderate in the first and second quarters of 2023. The dye and pigment industries supported the market sentiments of molybdenum disulfide prices. However, the pressure of inflation and slow economic growth of the region affected the price trend negatively.
