Europe

In the third quarter of 2023, the Pyridine market in Europe faced a slump due to weak market purchases and limited demand fundamentals from the downstream market. Declining exports from Germany to other European regions hampered market trading activities during this quarter. Spot prices decreased, and suppliers adopted a need-based approach for product purchases. Prices remained on the lower end, declining further with limited trading activities. The demand for Iso-Butyric Acid from the downstream disinfectant industry decreased amid slow market offtakes and limited trading activities. Demand uncertainty in Germany affected trading dynamics in the European market, which experienced a decline in fundamentals due to weak demand and sufficient inventories among enterprises. Local inventories rose, providing relaxation to prices, and suppliers adjusted prices for the domestic market. Weak product demand in the European market from downstream Agrochemical and dyes intermediates resulted in high inventories among downstream enterprises.
