H1 2023: In H1 2023, the Asia Pacific region was found as the largest consumer of Ethoxylates. There are various types of ethoxylates and one of them is Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylates (FAE). In the first half of 2023, key Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylates (FAE) producers included Sanjiang Fine Chemicals, Shell plc, and Thai Ethoxylate Company. The Asia Pacific region stood out as the primary consumer of FAE during this period. In the Chinese market, FAE prices underwent fluctuation, marked by the impact of the Lunar New Year holiday in January 2023, which led to disruptions in production and logistics due to a constrained labor force, resulting in reduced FAE production by the end of the month. Despite this, demand from downstream surfactants and other end-use industries remained moderate to high, thanks to ample FAE availability in the domestic market. Towards the close of March 2023, FAE prices in China saw an increase due to a shortage of palm oil feedstock. In the European FAE market during H1 2023, an intriguing pricing pattern emerged. At the outset of the period, low production costs of FAE influenced prices in the German market. Moreover, demand from the downstream personal care industry exhibited sluggishness until the conclusion of February 2023. However, come March 2023, FAE prices in Europe witnessed an uptick owing to a surge in the market values of feedstock in the region. A notable challenge in March 2023 in Germany was the scarcity of raw materials in the FAE market.
