Ethylene Oxide Price Trend- Last Quarter

The growing demand for polyester and plastic packaging across industries, particularly in textiles and automotive is driving the global market. Additionally, ethylene oxide is crucial in the production of surfactants, detergents, and personal care products, fueling its demand in the household and industrial cleaning sectors. The healthcare industry significantly contributes to market expansion, as ethylene oxide is widely used for sterilizing medical equipment. Its ability to sterilize delicate instruments without heat makes it essential in hospitals and surgical centers. The pharmaceutical sector’s growth also supports ethylene oxide demand, where it is used as an intermediate in manufacturing various drugs. Rising healthcare needs and pharmaceutical production drive this market. Furthermore, the agrochemical industry relies on ethylene oxide derivatives for herbicides, pesticides, and insecticides.    

Ethylene Oxide Industry Analysis

During Q2 2024, ethylene oxide prices rose in the North America because of limited supply and consistent demand from the ethoxylates and mono ethylene glycol industries. Supply chain disruptions led to a lack of availability, as Dow Chemical, a leading producer, faced unexpected shutdowns after incidents at its Louisiana plant. Originally planned to restart in early Q2, the plant’s reopening has been pushed back to late Q2. The manufacturing expenses also increased due to the higher prices of ethylene feedstock.

Although there were consistent inquiries from both local and international markets, purchases continued to be careful, mainly based on specific needs for ordering. In May, inflation in the U.S. decreased to 3.3%, staying above the Federal Reserve’s goal. In the Asia Pacific region, prices dropped because of an excess of supply and low demand from other industries such as Mono ethylene glycol and ethoxylates. Buyer mood stayed subdued, with little interest in material, as economic pressures reduced overall industry demand.   

High availability in the market led to further price decreases. To deal with the low demand growth and oversupply, manufacturers have also cut down on operational rates to manage the impact on their margins. During Q2 2024, prices in Europe declined continuously due to low trading and minimal buyer interest. Ethylene oxide production costs decreased due to reduced ethylene feedstock expenses resulting from general industrial downturns. The weak market sentiment worsened as there was continued sluggish demand from important sectors, such as ethoxylates. The calm market atmosphere was amplified by seasonal holidays in Europe, leading to decreased participation from traders.

Throughout Q2 2024, the prices of ethylene oxide in Saudi Arabia kept falling due to weak demand from industries such as mono ethylene glycol and ethoxylates. The future demand for end-products continued to be poor, as buyers were only buying to fulfill their current requirements. Prices of ethylene feedstock also dropped due to sufficient supply.
