H1 2023: In H1 2023, the Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES) market in the Asia Pacific region witnessed mixed prices. In the Chinese market, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES) experienced a fluctuating price trajectory in Q1 2023. In early Q1, manufacturing activities began to stabilize. The spring festival holidays further impacted production and logistics due to a limited workforce. Despite the expansion in the manufacturing sector, the purchasing activities were moderate. However, demand from downstream surfactant and other end-use industries remained moderate as sufficient material was already available in the market, On the upstream cost front, Palm oil prices exerted downward pressure on SLES prices. However, in Q2 2023, the Sodium Lauryl Ether Sodium (SLES) market witnessed a decline in the Asia-Pacific Region. The sluggish demand from the downstream surfactant industry, coupled with abundant product availability, contributed to a reduction in the product cost in South Korea. Additionally, the price ease was influenced by lower costs of feedstock Ethylene oxide and Fatty alcohol. This downturn was prompted by economic slowdown, inflationary pressures, and increasing interest rates, which adversely affected consumer purchasing activities. Upstream Palm oil prices in Malaysia experienced a decline in Q2 2023 and subsequently impacted the cost of SLES. Moreover, reduced demand from the Chinese market resulted in a price decline across the Asia-Pacific region.
