For the Quarter Ending September 2023

North America:

In the Styrene Copolymer market of the United States during the third quarter of 2023, there was a consistent upward trajectory in prices. At the onset of Q3, Styrene Copolymer underwent a significant price surge compared to the preceding month, primarily influenced by the escalating Feedstock Styrene market propelled by increasing crude oil prices. Positive economic indicators, such as diminishing recession concerns and rising interest rates, buoyed economic growth, especially in downstream sectors like Automotive, fortifying market fundamentals. Progressing into the second month of Q3, the US Styrene Copolymer market sustained an increase in demand, driven not only by the Automotive and Electronics sectors but also by a notable upswing in feedstock Styrene prices, accompanied by heightened Naphtha prices. Moreover, intentional oil supply reductions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) compounded upward pressure due to rising energy costs. As September unfolded, heightened demand for Styrene Copolymer persisted, stemming from downstream Automotive and Construction sectors in both the Asian and domestic regions, sustaining buyer interest. Despite diminished product inventories and heightened consumption rates, vigorous trading activities occurred, creating a conducive environment for sellers to augment their profit margins on the product. Additionally, the continuous ascent in feedstock Styrene prices and energy costs contributed to the overall production cost increase, collectively driving the rising price trend throughout the quarter.
