Fumaric acid prices followed diverse trends in different regions during the first half of 2023. In Asia, prices initially declined due to lower feedstock prices but later found support from reduced supply caused by manufacturing unit shutdowns. However, demand slowdown in the second quarter led to stockpiling and decreased production. Europe saw an increase in … Read more
In 2023, the price trend of sodium bromide declined in the Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America regions. Weak demand from water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and drilling industries led to reduced imports and domestic production in Asia. In Europe, rising energy costs and low supply initially increased prices, but inquiries dropped, water treatment demand slowed, and … Read more
