Q4 2024:
A number of contributing factors caused the market to see a range of pricing patterns. Due to stable production and balanced stocks, the quarter started off at steady rates. Values fell in November due to a decline in demand from outside, logistical delays brought on by hurricanes, and falling raw material prices. Prices recovered toward the end of the year, helped by strong demand from the automobile and cosmetics sectors, especially during holiday and promotional shopping seasons. The late-quarter rebound was also bolstered by lower stock levels and higher oil values.
In North America, despite low feedstock pentanol costs supporting MAK exports to Asia, declining consumer spending and economic uncertainties have reduced demand. Diminished production costs and weak market trends have led to lower profit margins and revenues, with a continuous decline in operating rates across downstream industries.

Q4 2024:
The last quarter of 2024 saw a slight increase in the market. Early price trends were supported by steady manufacturing output and robust orders from the paints and coatings market. This rise was also influenced by inflating freight and input prices. Automotive sales declined in the middle of the quarter and demand was still being driven by the personal care and cosmetics industries. December saw a resurgence as growth was fueled by strong industrial activities and festive purchasing. In the face of shifts in sector-specific consumption, market resilience was further reinforced by expansion throughout Asian economies.
In the APAC region, the MAK market is challenged by falling purchasing activities and high inventory levels, leading to declining prices. Lackluster business conditions and a negative market outlook have necessitated suppliers to meet only immediate needs, causing weak demand. Particularly in the paint and coating industries, demand remains low. Despite lower prices stimulating some demand, increased production and cost efficiencies have resulted in an oversupply. Currently, imports of MAK from the USA to India are inactive due to subdued trade volumes.
