Synthetic Anethole Price Trend for the Second Half of 2023

In the third and fourth quarters of 2023, synthetic anethole prices in Asia experienced fluctuations due to an oversupply that led to increased inventory levels and decreased prices. The fragrance and flavor industries struggled during both the third and fourth quarters, negatively affecting synthetic anethole prices. In Europe, despite significant market fluctuations in the third quarter, the fourth quarter saw a stabilization of the market momentum.

This stabilization was driven by a sharp increase in procurement from the fragrance and flavor industries and a reduced supply of synthetic anethole in European countries. Additionally, rising awareness and availability of essential oils boosted the demand for synthetic anethole. In North America, synthetic anethole prices were low due to challenges in downstream industries but began to rise in the fourth quarter with a seasonal demand increase, largely attributed to the holiday season.

The increase in both domestic and export demand helped drive prices upward. Initially, production rates in the fourth quarter lagged behind the demand, but industrial activities soon accelerated to meet the growing consumer interest. This overall increase in demand, coupled with the various regional market dynamics, contributed to the upward movement of synthetic anethole prices by the end of the year.

Synthetic Anethole Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

Synthetic Anethole mostly exhibited declining price trend for most of the H1 2023 in all major global markets. The inventories for the product were already running high since the demand had been low for a very long time. As Q1 began with high stocks, the other factors contributing to the upstream costs, like transportation expenses and energy prices, also started normalizing, failing to provide any substantial cost support.

Further, the socio-economic situations in various countries, like slow post-lockdown recovery in China, recession in Germany, and rising interest rates in the USA turned out to be detrimental to the Synthetic Anethole price trend. But the major factor for the downward trend was the bearish demands from downstream perfume, fragrance, and cosmetic industries. Overall, feeble market sentiments were observed for Synthetic Anethole throughout the said period.

Analyst insight

According to Procurement Resource, the Synthetic Anethole market is expected to continue fluctuating, as it will require some serious shift in downstream demands to see any improvement in market dynamics.
