CFR Hamburg: The Recent data shows that after following a pessimistic outlook for several months, Zidovudine prices in Germany have resumed an accelerating trend in the month of November. Zidovudine prices in Germany started to climb again due to several factors, such as contradicting the downward trend brought on by persistent demand, high production costs, rising inflation rates, and supply problems in European ports. Recently, Zidovudine prices in Germany rose by 2.83% in November 2022.

Rising inflation and high energy costs in the context of approaching energy problems, particularly in the wake of the Nord 1 Stream pipeline explosion that delivers natural gas from Russia to Germany, affected the production costs. As a result of recent increases in orders and a lack of supply in the local market, German purchasers started trading, driving up the price of Zidovudine. The dynamics of the supply side have changed, increasing the demand for Zidovudine.

The continuous shortage of transportation and driver by dint of soaring inflation influenced the Zidovudine price in the domestic market. Cargo bunching and cancellations actions hindered the continent's trading services. Rising interest rates have also triggered the market's fear of recession globally. Overall, the pharmaceutical business faces a short-term threat due to these inflationary pressures. The volume of marine freight and the curtailed traffic in Germany have considerably impacted the price of Zidovudine.

With supply chain disruption and port congestion in the European region, the market showcased robust sentiments. The extended production cut caused by the Chinese market's golden week also had an effect on the APAC and European markets. Prices for Zidovudine have increased due to low inventories and insufficient supply to satisfy downstream demand.

According to ChemAnalyst, Zidovudine demand will grow further as orders may increase in the upcoming months. While the government has requested enterprises to reduce their electricity consumption use to save energy for the home sector during the winter, production rates will remain moderate due to the energy crisis.
