Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol Price Trend for the Second Half of 2023

Phenyl ethyl alcohol price trends were observed to be highly fluctuating for the entire period of H2’23. The market started on a higher note at the beginning of the third quarter following the spike in crude oil prices; after OPEC+ actions, the feedstock benzene and ethylene oxide prices also picked up.

Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol Price Trends

This pushed the upstream costs for phenyl ethyl alcohol up in the early months. However, during the fourth quarter the market dynamics were slightly reversed. With global trade on a decline and crude oil prices plummeting again, the phenyl ethyl alcohol price trend also took a backtrack. Industrial demands dipped for phenyl ethyl alcohol, and the price graph started tilting downwards, imparting variations in the overall trajectory.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol price trends are expected to continue to waver in the coming months; the market will continue to be demand-dependent.

Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

The price trend for Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol closely mimic that of its feedstocks, namely Benzene and Ethylene Oxide. Downstream demands from the perfume and flavor industries also played an important role in determining the market behavior. As the Chinese market was trying to revive itself after the COVID–19 lockdown, consumer behavior was still very necessity-centric since the economic activities were shut off for such a long time. At the same time, rising inflation in European markets skyrocketed the costs of living. Overall, the market sentiments around Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol were observed to be really dull.

Though there was some strength in the market at the beginning of the first quarter since the upstream costs were high, but sullen downstream demands kept the price trend south-facing. High benzene prices did provide some cost support; hence, the overall market sentiments remained bearish throughout.

Analyst insight

According to Procurement Resource, the Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol prices are expected to continue similar struggling market behaviors as the inventories are high and demands are steady.
