Methenamine Prices Trend and Forecast
North America
In the fourth quarter of 2022, Methenamine
Prices in the United States decreased in response to the falling cost
of feedstock Ammonia in the market. Orders from the procurers remained
moderate, and the pharma industry demand was stable due to ample stock
availability of the product. The stagnant global market in Q4 continued to
affect the domestic and international markets. According to the players in the
market, the majority of the purchases were based on demand. The approaching
holiday resulted in further declines in buyer demand and orders during the
fourth quarter.
APAC
During the fourth quarter of
2022, there was a mixed-price trend for Methenamine in Asia. In November, the price
of Methenamine rose due to the tight supply of the product from
traders. The resurgence of COVID cases in China disrupted the supply chain,
affected demand for export activities to overseas markets, and eventually led
to an economic slowdown. To keep cases under control, the Chinese government
implemented a Zero COVID policy, which slowed trading and reduced orders from
end-use industries. The price of Methenamine decreased in December as a result
of the steady supply from traders and adequate ground availability.
Europe
In Europe, the price of
Methenamine decreased in the fourth quarter of 2022. The negative price trend
of Methenamine was bolstered by the sharp decline of feedstock Ammonia in
Europe. The repercussions of the Russia-Ukrainian war still persisted during
this quarter, and the supply chain remained disturbed. Due to the slowdown in
trading activities in importing countries like China, more products are left in
Russia, and the merchants have stockpiled the product in the market. Because
the product was readily available, there was less demand from the downstream
pharmaceutical industry. Because there were no significant port congestions in
Europe, product movement was smooth, and freight costs were reduced.
