Polyol Price Trend for Q1 of 2024
During the first quarter of 2024, the trading dynamics in Asian countries significantly impacted polyol prices, particularly as Indonesia, Brazil, and India implemented new trading strategies. These changes, along with Europe's consideration of carbon border adjustment measures and China's focus on carbon capture technologies, influenced market demand and pricing trends for polyol, although these factors did not sustain a price increase. The Chinese New Year and maintenance shutdowns of production facilities also fueled uncertainty among international buyers, as reflected in the subdued inquiry levels.

Additionally, geopolitical tensions and changes in maritime routes further dampened export profit margins, presenting a bleak outlook for the polyol market. In Europe, price trends for polyol were inconsistent and affected by various market drivers. The influence of Chinese imports waned due to reduced production over the New Year period. The downstream automotive industry initially showed tepid interest, troubling traders and manufacturers. The North American markets were still slightly positive as the domestic demands sustained the market momentum to a large extent.

About Polyol
Polyol, a type of sugar alcohol, is a versatile compound widely used in the production of polyurethane foams, both flexible and rigid, which are essential for automotive seats, mattresses, and thermal insulation. In the pharmaceutical industry, polyols serve as excipients and sweeteners. They are also prevalent in food products, offering sweetness with lower caloric content than traditional sugars. Additionally, polyols are used in personal care products, adhesives, and surface coatings, valued for their hygroscopic and non-toxic properties.

Polyol Production Process
- Polyol Production by multifunctional carboxylic acids and polyhydroxyl compounds.
The multifunctional carboxylic acids can be adipic acid, phthalic acid, succinic acid, or maleic acid, and the polyhydroxyl compounds such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, or 1,4- butanediol. The manufacturing process of polyol (polyester polyol) involves the condensation reaction of multifunctional carboxylic acids and polyhydroxyl compounds. This condensation reaction is conducted under controlled conditions which proceeds through an esterification reaction that facilitates the formation of polyester chains and the release of water as a byproduct. After which the final product polyol (polyester polyol) is obtained.
