Europe Calcium Powder Price

Q2 2024:

During FY24, Europe’s market saw a notable decline in prices, attributed to decreased consumption across key industries like pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements, despite better logistics situation. Competitive pressure intensified as imports from major suppliers in Asia surged, leading to aggressive pricing. Reduced shipping rates and trade troubles across the globe also contributed to a drop in market prices. Besides this, seasonal demand shifts in Germany, particularly during summer, and excessive stocks amplified the trend. Economic improvements, including slight inflation recovery and modest consumer confidence gains, failed to curb the overall downward trajectory. This established a tough market atmosphere marked by continuously declining prices across Europe’s calcium powder sector.

Q4 2023:

In Q4 2023, the European calcium powder market saw fluctuating conditions. Early in the quarter, prices climbed due to restricted stock availability, strong consumer demand, and rising energy prices. The added expenses of sea and air transport, exacerbated by China’s Golden Week, also pushed prices higher. However, as the quarter progressed, a combination of declining demand from industries and suplus inventories led to price reductions. The Euro became stronger that US dollar, further enabling cheaper imports from China, stabilizing supply levels. Weak consumer confidence due to economic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions kept demand subdued, shaping a dynamic market environment.

North America Calcium Powder Price

Q2 2024:

North America’s market experienced a steady price decline, largely influenced by low demand from primary end-user industries despite steady supply levels. The restrained consumer behavior, due to constant economic vagueness and the higher rate of interest to counter inflation, intensified the imbalance. Moreover, shipping disputes and cross-border conflicts also strained market dynamics, leading to a sustained bearish trend. This combination of factors resulted in a persistently negative pricing landscape across the region, with the USA notably showing the most prominent fluctuations, as seasonal demand shifts and economic conditions further pressured prices. Overall, weak market sentiment and an oversupplied market signaled a tough quarter for suppliers in North America.

Q4 2023:

In Q4 2023, the calcium powder industry in North America showed mixed movements. Initial price increases were driven by tight inventories, sluggish trading, and steady demand from end-users, particularly in the pharmaceutical and food sectors. However, by November and December, prices started to decline due to weaker demand from end sectors and an overabundance of supply. The ongoing inflation and high-interest rates further weakened consumer purchasing power. Additionally, falling international prices, especially in China, made it difficult to maintain higher prices domestically. This led to a bearish trend as the market closed with lower prices compared to the beginning of the quarter.

Asia Pacific Calcium Powder Price

Q2 2024:

The APAC calcium powder market in Q2 2024 reflected a prolonged downward price trajectory, driven by weakened demand across local and global markets amid ongoing consumer caution and geopolitical instability. This demand reduction, compounded by robust supply levels and increasing freight rates, pressured the market, with the Red Sea crisis exacerbating logistical challenges. In China, economic headwinds and seasonality impacted prices significantly as end user demand stayed soft, resulting in an oversupplied market that weakened pricing further. Although inflation stability and moderated producer price declines offered slight relief, they were insufficient to offset pervasive weak sentiments. Consequently, APAC’s calcium powder market continued to face challenging conditions due to oversupply and restrained demand.

Q4 2023:

During Q4 2023, the Asia-Pacific calcium powder industry faced a bearish trend, largely driven by ample domestic supply and weak demand. The inflation, economic slowdown, and fragile financial conditions dampened market activity across the region. China, in particular, saw continued low demand, both domestically and internationally, with manufacturing activity contracting for the second quarter in a row. Fierce competition and lack of substantial orders led to a drop in prices, compounded by a stronger yuan that impacted export volumes. With persistent weak demand from key sectors such as pharmaceuticals and healthcare, market participants anticipate these conditions to continue influencing prices downward.
