Q4 2024:
Although supply flow was restricted by logistical difficulties and geopolitical uncertainties, prices were still high by November due to consistent export demand. However, a turning point was reached in December when prices dropped as a result of restricted domestic consumption, increasing production volumes, and larger stock levels. Price pressure was increased by growing competition from sunflower oil, and purchasing sentiment was tempered by the euro's and the hryvnia's decline versus the US dollar. The gloomy market trend was further exacerbated by seasonal slowdowns, weaker consumer spending, and less industrial activity over the holiday season.
Q2 2024:
The European market for yellow phosphorus in Q2 2024 experienced a negative trend, driven by reduced requirements from agriculture and other downstream sectors, leading to a buildup of inventories. Low demand from customers in Germany, combined with Middle East tensions and pressures from the global market, caused prices to decline early in the quarter. Midway through, Western Europe had waterlogging due to the significant rains and issues with insects, discouraging expenditures on fertilizer in nations such as the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom. However, late in the quarter, costs in Germany rose moderately as a result of supply shortages brought on by the Rhine River's rising flood levels, postponing shipments, and tightening availability.
Q4 2023:
The market during the fourth quarter of 2023 was characterized by fluctuating conditions. The period started with strong demand from fertilizer producers and stable overseas imports, which initially supported the market. However, setbacks in manufacturing production across the Eurozone led to a more bearish outlook as the quarter advanced. The increase in production costs, influenced by rising gas prices and expensive raw materials, further complicated the market dynamics. While there was a brief surge in prices in regions like Belgium due to improving demand conditions, the overall sentiment remained cautious, marked by significant destocking activities and high product inventories.

Q4 2024:
In Q4 2024, prices in North America exhibited a vigorous pattern influenced by changes in industrial demand and fluctuating supply situations. Although muted large-scale purchases limited market momentum, the quarter began with solid pricing, bolstered by constant fertilizer and phosphoric acid usage. Due to supply constraints brought on by logistical challenges and decreased domestic production in the face of increased energy prices, a price hike surfaced in November. By December, more price increases were being driven by increased demand from the electronics and semiconductor sectors, especially in Germany and Eastern Europe. Due to a decrease in winter agricultural activity, fertilizer demand was dampened, although phosphate rock prices stayed steady.
Q2 2024:
The North American yellow phosphorus market in Q2 2024 exhibited a negative trend, driven by decreased requirements from industries downstream, especially in farming and cultivation. Farmers reduced their use of fertilizer amid concerns over finances and inventory buildup, leading to slower market activity. Geomagnetic storms in North Dakota disrupted planting operations, further curbing domestic demand. On the supply side, European production limitations, China's trade restrictions, and sanctions on Russia and Belarus added to market pressures. In addition, reduced requirements from foreign markets, such as Spain and Norway, affected export opportunities. These factors contributed to declining prices and a downturn in the region’s market.
Q4 2023:
During the last quarter of 2023, the market displayed varied trends. Initially, a downturn in demand from secondary industries led to a surplus in stock, coupled with a drop in the manufacturing PMI that indicated a contraction in industrial activities. Yet, as the quarter progressed, the market saw a slight rise in yellow phosphorus prices. This rebound was primarily supported by vigorous demand within the fertilizer sector, which benefited from steady purchase rates and a positive shift in market sentiments. Additionally, stable demand was noted from the phosphorus trichloride sector. The quarter concluded without any disruptions from plant closures, emphasizing a period of mixed market activity influenced by industry demands and supply factors.

Q4 2024:
In Q4 2024, prices varied a lot in the Asia-Pacific region due to changes in manufacturing and supply dynamics. Vietnam noticed a drop in pricing early in the quarter as supplies remained high and demand for phosphorus chloride sectors decreased. The declining trend was also influenced by weather-related disturbances and Chinese buyers' pre-holiday purchases. However, a significant production halt at Hanoi in November cut supply, which caused a steep price increase. Price stability persisted in December, helped by consistent demand from the semiconductor industry. Vietnam continued to dominate as a major exporter in spite of supply shortages, and industry is beginning to rebound from weather-related difficulties.
Q2 2024:
The Asia Pacific market for yellow phosphorus in Q2 2024 saw substantial cost hikes due to rising requirements from downstream sectors and constrained supply. China's unplanned plant closures, caused by an earthquake in late May, impacted key producers such as Sichuan Linhe Industrial Group and Leshan Jinguang Chemicals. Concurrently, Hubei's floods disrupted production at facilities including Hubei Xingfa Chemicals and Yichang Yatai Chemical, further reducing the supply. A rise in the price of raw material costs also drove production expenses higher, fostering bullish market sentiment. In spite of a slight quarterly drop of -2%, prices exhibited a rising trend, signaling robust demand and supply challenges in the region.
Q4 2023:
The region saw a bullish market in the closing quarter of 2023. Prices escalated due to the import of higher-cost goods alongside a robust demand across the Asian markets. Noteworthy increases in procurement by industries such as rodenticides, fertilizers, and fireworks contributed to this trend, with businesses stocking up in anticipation of the planting season. However, the market dynamics shifted towards the end of the quarter with a decrease in overseas demand and reduced inquiries from the phosphoric acid and agricultural sectors, leading to a complex market scenario with both highs and lows in pricing and demand.
