Asia Pacific Taurine Price

Q2 2024:

The Asia Pacific area observed a substantial decrease in taurine rates throughout Q2 2024, influenced by economic and market-specific elements. Both local and foreign orders dropped significantly, supported by reduced functional expenses owing to a decline in fuel rates. This decrease in costs enabled companies to lower prices for consumers, promoting a downward pricing trend. Moreover, logistical obstacles affected the export industry, with problems in the Red Sea causing trade obstacles. The local taurine surplus grew as ethylene oxide costs, an important raw material, decreased. In China, where rate changes were marked, factors like reduced factory operations and fewer export orders compounded the situation. The strengthened yuan impacted global demand, rendering Chinese Taurine less competitive overseas. The Q2 ended with abundant supply, factory shutdowns, and seasonally low demand, solidifying an overall negative pricing outlook.

Q4 2023:

Taurine prices experienced declines in July and August but saw an increase in September. The Chinese economy faced several challenges that hindered its expansion, as reflected by a manufacturing PMI indicating contraction. Factors such as reduced overseas orders and sales, coupled with inflation and rising interest rates in significant markets, adversely affected Chinese demand. By the end of the third quarter, the PMI showed signs of recovery, suggesting a potential rebound in industrial activity and economic optimism, with taurine prices stabilizing.

Europe Taurine Price

Q2 2024:

In Europe, taurine rates saw a clear downward movement in the second quarter of 2024, primarily driven by significant economic and supply factors. Demand softened considerably in major industries like pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, even though some enhancement in supply dependability was noted. The influx of products from Asia led to an aggressive landscape, propelling prices down. Lower shipping costs and more stable trade conditions further aided in rate adjustments.

North America Taurine Price

Q2 2024:

In the second quarter of 2024, taurine rates across North America saw a substantial fall, shaped by various key influences. A primary factor was softer-than-projected interest, with fewer fresh requests and a decreasing backlog. The Federal Reserve’s elevated rate approach further restricted consumer buying capacity, thereby lowering demand. Inflation showed a minor reduction due to lower fuel rates, which lessened shipping and operational expenses, adding more downward pressure on the product rates. In the United States, this price reduction was particularly noticeable as the production sector contracted, and importers stockpiled in advance of high season, leading to an oversupply. Seasonal planning for the holiday period led to large shipments at discounted prices, strengthening the downward movement. By quarter’s end, Taurine rates signaled a difficult market scenario, distinctly marked by reduced demand and excessive inventory.
