Use the independent price assessments and market coverage in our price reports to track the regional Naphtha market.
Updated to Q1 2020
Most of the last year saw the softest naphtha market in recent memory. Reduced production of naphtha from Saudi Arabia, along with some refining outages in Asia due to maintenance has provided some respite to the persistently long market in Europe. That said, the market will be vulnerable to changing dynamics brought on by IMO 2020 over the coming months, as refiners are expected to increase run rates and therefore add to the oversupply for the most of 2020.
Major downstream markets for naphtha – ethylene and propylene – continue to be long, adding to pricing and demand weakness. Overall, ICIS forecasts a generally weak naphtha market throughout 2020.
We offer the following regional Naphtha analysis and news coverage to keep you informed of factors and developments affecting prices in the Europe Naphtha marketplace.
