Price & market indicators
The European oxo-alcohols market is driven by supply/demand balance, but is structurally oversupplied – leading to regular exports. Asian oxo-alcohol demand is driven primarily by demand in China. There is also demand from other regions in northeast Asia, as well as India and southeast Asia.
Key influences are developments in the upstream propylene market, and downstream demand for butyl acetate, plasticizers, acrylate esters and glycol ethers. Major producers are tracked for planned or unplanned outages, contract-price initiatives, weekly spot export price changes, capacity additions or reductions, and market views.
