Updated to Q2 2020
Supply is likely to remain constant as the peak season may justify producers keeping to full run rates depending on whether re-opening of shops and the re-start of construction activity post pandemic crisis gives way to a rebound in demand or not. However we could also see a drop in demand due to reduced spending power due to job cuts in Q1 and Q2 this year, forcing producers to lower operation rates on a wider scale.
Although Q2H2 and beginning of Q3 are usually the peak season for maleic anhydride, a slowdown of the global economy due to the Q1-Q2 lockdowns is expected to be felt in Q3. Although a potential rebound in demand is hoped by some, the market remains bearish overall as to demand in Q3 recovering from April’s slump as government packages have this far taken over a month and a half in some countries to flow to targeted homes and SMEs, causing long-term damage at the base of the consumption pyramid.
