Benzene Prices, Pricing Report, Index & Forecast Data

North America Benzene Prices Movement Last Quarter:

Benzene Prices in the United States:

In the last quarter, benzene prices in the United States hit 1,007 USD per metric ton. The benzene industry saw a significant drop in prices, largely due to weak demand from key sectors like styrene and cumene. With supply levels remaining steady, the overall market sentiment turned bearish, as production continued at a consistent rate despite the dip in consumption. Import volumes at major ports fell sharply, indicating sluggish demand and adding to the oversupply situation. On top of that, stable crude oil inventories kept any cost-push factors at bay that could have helped support prices. All these elements combined to create a tough environment, leading to a decline in prices throughout the quarter as the market struggled to find a balance between supply and demand amid persistently low activity from downstream sectors.

APAC Benzene Prices Movement in the Last Quarter:

Benzene Prices in South Korea:

In South Korea, the Benzene Price Index shows prices in the last quarter reached 861 USD per metric ton. The bearish trend was driven by weak demand from downstream sectors that found it hard to absorb the existing supplies. Rising costs of crude oil and naphtha added more pressure, complicating the market dynamics as producers faced higher input costs. Furthermore, expectations of increased regional supply fueled uncertainty, raising concerns about oversupply in an already cautious market. Buyers took a more reserved stance, holding off on purchases in hopes of further price drops as supply conditions were anticipated to improve. This mix of subdued demand, rising costs, and hesitant buying created a challenging environment, pushing prices down throughout the period.

MEA Benzene Prices Movement in the Last Quarter:

Benzene Prices in Saudi Arabia:

In the last quarter, benzene prices in Saudi Arabia hit 896 USD per metric ton. The price trend for benzene remained stable, thanks to a balance between moderate supply and demand, even with some bearish conditions in the region. Demand was kept low due to weak activity in key end-use sectors, while increased imports from Asia added to the available supply, preventing any significant price changes. Still, there was a sense of cautious optimism among market participants about potential price improvements in the next quarter. This optimism stemmed from expectations of reduced supply following recent crude oil production cuts, which could tighten market conditions. The interaction of these factors helped maintain stability while also setting the stage for possible upward price adjustments soon.

Benzene Prices in Brazil:

In Brazil, benzene prices reached 835 USD per metric ton in the last quarter. The price trend for benzene stayed stable, even though it faced several challenges, such as low demand from downstream industries and weak retail performance. Rising production costs, fueled by increased naphtha prices, added more pressure to the market, keeping the overall sentiment bearish. Although a slight increase in manufacturing activity provided some support, it wasn't enough to counter the broader challenges. The fluctuating prices also highlighted difficulties in meeting domestic oil demand, contributing to market uncertainty. With all these factors at play, the outlook for the sector remained cautious, as participants braced for continued volatility while trying to balance supply, costs, and demand dynamics in a tough economic landscape.

Factors Affecting Benzene Prices and Demand:

Several factors play a crucial role in determining Benzene Prices and Demand, which in turn shape the dynamics of the global market. On the supply side, changes in crude oil and naphtha prices have a significant effect on the production costs of benzene, as it mainly comes from petroleum refining and steam cracking processes. Issues like supply chain disruptions, refinery maintenance, and geopolitical tensions can also influence how much benzene is available and at what price.

On the demand side, benzene serves as a vital raw material for various industries, including plastics, resins, synthetic fibers, and rubber. The growth in sectors like automotive, construction, and packaging is driving up consumption. Moreover, factors such as environmental regulations, trade policies, and shifts in global manufacturing trends add to the market's volatility, making benzene prices particularly sensitive to economic conditions and industrial activity.
