During the last quarter of 2024, the tertiary butyl alcohol prices in China reached 1023 USD/MT in December. As per the tertiary butyl alcohol price chart, the market experienced erratic patterns due to seasonal fuel use and increasing demand from regional markets. However, crude oil prices remained low as geopolitical tensions temporarily escalated uncertainty before subsiding. Demand hardly recovered in November, and winter fuel use and cautious downstream restocking caused prices to level out in December.
During the last quarter of 2024, the tertiary butyl alcohol prices in Germany reached 941 USD/MT in December. The price of tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) in Germany fluctuated. Strong industrial demand and growing crude oil prices were the main causes of the initial increases. However, a slowdown occurred in November as export prospects decreased and downstream activity was curbed by unfavorable economic conditions. Due to a shortage of isobutylene and excess demand for solvents, especially in cleaning and medicinal applications, December prices saw a minor recovery, which helped to stabilize the market.

Q4 2024:
As seen in the tertiary butyl alcohol price index, due to shifting supply and demand, the market showed significant volatility in Q4 2024. As production costs increased due to growing crude oil prices and the industrial sectors' rising need for solvents, prices first skyrocketed. However, by November, economic restraints and poor downstream consumption caused a sharp decline in price, which was exacerbated by dwindling export prospects and heightened competition worldwide. Due to isobutylene supply constraints and a resurgence in solvent consumption, December saw a modest improvement as the quarter came to an end.
Q2 2024:
The European tertiary butyl alcohol market held steady in the second quarter of 2024 due to fundamentals of equilibrium between demand and supply. Global markets were impacted by changes in worldwide valuing of crude oil, while the upstream Naphtha industry's lackluster support reduced the impact on TBA pricing. Although delays from expensive shipping expenses and stalled imports put strain on the solvent business, demand remained stable. Restocking attempts before to the summer season, however, offset these difficulties and increased demand. In spite of competition from low-cost Asian imports, Germany saw the most noticeable price activity, with a decline from the previous year and quarter due to improved business sentiment and restocking.
Q4 2023:
The Q4 2023 saw a decrease in the European tertiary butyl alcohol market because of the industry's reduced demand for solvent manufacture. Bearish sentiments were exacerbated by a reduction in inquiries and trading activity, which affected the dynamics of supply and demand. In line with this, the unstable petrochemicals and energy markets caused fluctuations in upstream raw material costs, which in turn impacted the market. Overall, Europe experienced a period of low demand and moderate supply.

Q4 2024:
In Q4 2024, the price of tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) in North America fluctuated. Higher costs for raw materials, particularly crude oil, and rising demand for solvent-based applications drove a consistent price increase in October. Transportation problems and supply chain inefficiencies made availability even more limited, which contributed to the price growth. However, November saw a sharp drop as downstream demand was restrained by a weakening of industrial activity. Reduced consumer spending and economic uncertainty also contributed to the downward pressure on pricing.
Q2 2024:
During Q2 2024, the market for tertiary butyl alcohol in the U.S. displayed diverse patterns, with costs changing over time. Prices remained stable in the initial months despite variations in international oil sectors, largely due to stable downstream demand and low activity in associated petrochemical sectors. A drop in oil prices early in the quarter, spurred by ceasefire discussions in the Middle East, contributed to stability. By May, prices saw a notable decline attributed to low employment data, economic uncertainties, and reduced recent orders. Crude oil charges decrease, influenced by OPEC+ reducing limitations and maintaining steady shipping rates, supported this trend. The quarter concluded with further decrease in costs, interrupted by a mid-month spike triggered by geopolitical events and increased derivatives industry demand.
Q4 2023:
The tertiary butyl alcohol market in North America experienced a mixed trend with varying pricing in Q4 2023. In line with this, buyers continued to prioritize long-term orders, resulting in moderate demand. Costs associated with imports caused price increases in October, but by November, inflation had subsided, and economic conditions had improved. In December, amid worries about a recession and geopolitical unrest, this upward trend was maintained by stronger demand from downstream sectors.

Q4 2024:
The Asia-Pacific region's tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) prices varied during Q4 2024 as a result of changing demand trends, volatile crude oil prices, and worries about oversupply. Due to seasonal petroleum consumption and increased demand from nearby Asian countries, October started off on a positive note. However, sluggish crude oil prices and an excess of supply on the market caused prices to plummet after Golden Week. The geopolitical unrest between Israel and Iran escalated uncertainty at first but then subsided, which helped to drive down the price of crude oil.
Q2 2024:
The cost for tertiary butyl alcohol in the Asia Pacific area increased in Q2 2024 due to growing requirement from downstream sectors including chemicals and solvents as well as the completion of local industry maintenance. Price hikes were supported by pressure on manufacturing expenses from rising global crude oil prices. Strong petrol shipping orders and declining inventories early in the quarter helped China's market, which was characterized by high activity, to see price increases. Rise in resource availability and a reduction in cross-border issues, however, later mitigated this, resulting in high levels of consolidation. Prices decreased from the last year, but they increased from the previous quarter, specifying a stable pricing landscape in China.
Q4 2023:
In Q4 2023, the Asia Pacific region's tertiary butyl alcohol market had an amalgamated price trend because of the general slowdown in the economy and the lackluster demand from downstream industries. Challenges like factory-gate deflation and growing raw material costs were indicators of how hard it was to recover from the post-pandemic downturn. In line with this, the market dynamics were further affected by limited stocks, which put tertiary butyl alcohol in a difficult situation.

Latest developments in the tertiary butyl alcohol industry:
Tertiary butyl alcohol is a colorless, flammable liquid with a camphor-like odor. It can be synthesized through two methods, including the hydration of isobutylene and as a byproduct in the production of propylene oxide. It is unique among alcohols due to its tertiary structure, which makes it resistant to oxidation and less acidic than other alcohols.
It has a low water miscibility and good purity, which makes it useful as a reagent and solvent in laboratory settings. It serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals, such as methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE), both of which are used as gasoline additives to increase octane rating and reduce engine knocking. It is also employed in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries to improve the smoothness and stability of products.
