H1 2023: In the first half of 2023, the Chloroform market in the Asia Pacific region witnessed dynamic price movements. The Asia Pacific Chloroform market experienced a dull start characterized by ample product inventories and reduced product bidding. In China, the Chloroform price dipped in January amid sufficient stock levels. However, trading dynamics improved later as demand surpassed supply. Enterprises faced a decline in Chloroform supply. With an uptick in downstream demand, refrigerant prices increased, supported by a robust market foundation. In March, refrigerant manufacturers replenished raw materials, boosting chloroform production. April onwards, Chloroform prices in China began to slip in the Asia Pacific market due to limited market fundamentals and elevated inventory levels. Feedstock market cost support was restricted, and trading fundamentals were weak. Chloroform exports from China to other Asian regions were constrained. Downstream R-22 refrigerant industry trading remained weak with subdued market fundamentals. In May 2023, Luxi Chemical's plant in China operated at a low capacity, and buyers hesitated to reduce their inventory levels and increase trade volume. On the other hand, in the US market, Chloroform's market trading fundamentals were mixed marked by turning pessimistic from April 2023 marked by elevated product inventories. Cargo demand was diminished, and manufacturers primarily fulfilled pre-contract orders. In the feedstock market, Methanol experienced a downward price trend, driven by lacklustre demand and weak purchasing interest in the US.
The global Chloroform market stood at approximately 3800 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a healthy CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period until 2032.
