Regional Outlook

Updated to Q2 2020

US supply of DOP, DOTP and DINP will be steady to longer during the second quarter of 2020 if architectural and automotive coatings demand continues to weaken because of the coronavirus. The pandemic confined many workers to their homes, creating worker shortages and dissipating demand from those downstream markets. Even before the domestic coronavirus outbreak, supply was expected to remain ample in only moderately stronger 2020 downstream markets. Supply will hinge on the duration of the virus.

Demand for US DOP, DOTP and DINP is expected to continue weakening during the second quarter of 2020 on anticipated slowdowns in US construction and automobile manufacturing during the typically peak demand period from those markets. A recent survey indicated that some polled paint contractors have cancelled some or all of their planned April and May projects, stemming from shelter-in-place constraints and concerns about potential worker and customer exposure to the coronavirus.
