Sodium Lactate Price Trend for the Q1 of 2024

Asia

In Asia, the fluctuating dynamics of sodium lactate prices were influenced by the oscillations experienced by its feedstock chemicals during the first quarter of 2024. In the initial phase, the weak momentum of the market was affected by the reduced demand from the end-user industries. The slow movement of the market could be attributed to the onset of the Chinese New Year holidays during the initial phase of the first quarter. However, after the resumption of market activities, demand for sodium lactate grew gradually.

The halted production activities then resulted in a low level of inventories, while as the quarter progressed, the demand outpaced these inventories, and the prices of sodium lactate escalated. Additionally, a rise in the number of inquiries from overseas players gave the market an additional boost.

Europe

The key feedstock of sodium lactate registered a dull performance during the first quarter of 2024. The demand for sodium lactate from major industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare contributed significantly to keeping sodium lactate prices on the lower end of the spectrum. However, similar to the Asian countries, in the later phase of the quarter, demand grew stronger. The shipping and logistical challenges further supported the uptrend in sodium lactate market momentum. The addition of surplus charged due to an increase in lead times and disruption of traditional trade routes further increased the price quotations of sodium lactate during Q1 of 2024.

North America

In North America, the sodium lactate pricing trajectory was shaped by the notable volatility among the downstream industries. The end-user industries opted for a cautious stance during this phase amid the depreciating economic outlook of the market and the loss of overseas business. The sluggish sales figures were also related to the increase in inflationary pressure on both the manufacturing and consumer sectors. Additionally, the financial institutions resorted to strict measures to keep the market momentum afloat, which eventually resulted in the downfall of sodium lactate prices.
