Propylene Oxide Price Trend Analysis, Historical Chart and Forecast

Propylene Oxide (Industrial) Price Trends and Market Outlook (Ex-Works China)

Between October and December 2024, the price of industrial-grade Propylene Oxide in China (Ex-Works) saw a noticeable year-on-year (YoY) decline, signaling continued market softness and tepid downstream demand. In October 2024, prices dropped to 1210 USD/MT, down from 1302 USD/MT in the same month of 2023, reflecting a 7.1% YoY decrease. This declining trend persisted through November, with prices falling to 1198 USD/MT, compared to 1292 USD/MT in November 2023-a 7.3% decline. The most significant drop came in December 2024, where prices reached 1160 USD/MT, down from 1300 USD/MT in December 2023, marking a sharper 10.8% YoY fall.

Several factors are contributing to this downward pressure. Oversupply in the domestic market, coupled with weaker-than-expected consumption from downstream sectors such as polyether polyols, surfactants, and construction chemicals, has led to price reductions. Additionally, global economic uncertainty and fluctuating feedstock costs have affected buying sentiment and disrupted procurement cycles.

According to Expert Market Research, 2025 is expected to begin with continued low price levels, though a gradual recovery may take place in the second half of the year. The projected rebound hinges on stabilization in crude oil prices, recovery in industrial activity, and more strategic supply management by producers. Environmental regulations and capacity adjustments in China may also influence output levels, potentially supporting price recovery.

While the outlook remains cautious, any improvement in downstream demand-particularly from automotive, construction, and consumer goods sectors-could help lift prices gradually. Stakeholders should closely monitor policy changes, raw material trends, and global trade developments to assess market shifts effectively throughout 2025.
