CFR Hamburg: According to recent statistics, Clarithromycin API prices in Germany will likely experience a significant decline throughout December 2022 after maintaining a stable trajectory for several months. The shaky market sentiments in Germany are expected to be confirmed by the trade relations with China and the quickly eroding consumer confidence. Additionally, business confidence is expected to stay extremely low throughout December.

Beginning in December, several variables caused the price of Clarithromycin API in Germany to drop significantly. The prospect of a recession is one important factor that continues to influence and underpin the sluggish market sentiments for Clarithromycin API in the European region. Additionally, inflation began to decline as a direct result of base effects. According to the European authorities, decreases in the cost of electricity and distributed natural gas were the main factors contributing to the decreased price of Clarithromycin API during this month. Lower energy prices and domestic demand in Europe have further contributed to decreased production costs and firm operational rates. The annual inflation slowed to 10.4% from 11.0% in October, further supporting the weak market sentiment across the European region.  Additionally, the domestic merchants' prior stockpiling forced the traders and suppliers to decrease prices to spur inquiries and create the downstream sector.

As per ChemAnalyst, Clarithromycin API will continue to be in demand since orders may increase in the upcoming first quarter of 2023. Higher manufacturing rates on the back of new and fresh inventories to meet downstream demand will likely affect operational rates. Placing bulk orders from international as well as domestic suppliers and Restocking activities among domestic merchants might influence the market, keeping the trajectory upward. The reduction of new orders in Europe has also given manufacturers the opportunity to catch up on backlogs, cutting down on drawn-out lead times and releasing congested bottlenecks.
