Paraffin Wax Price Trends and Forecast: FOB South Asia

The paraffin wax market in the South Asia region has witnessed a modest year-over-year (YoY) price decline during the last quarter of 2024, reflecting broader global market conditions. In October 2024, prices stood at 1159 USD/MT, down 1% from 1173 USD/MT in October 2023. November followed a similar pattern, recording 1147 USD/MT, also down 1% from the previous year.

This downward trend can be primarily attributed to sluggish global demand across key end-use industries such as packaging, cosmetics, and candle manufacturing. Another major contributing factor is the continued decline in crude oil prices, which directly impacts paraffin wax production costs. As paraffin wax is a petroleum derivative, its market performance often mirrors fluctuations in the energy sector.

Expert Market Research forecasts further price pressures in the second half (H2) of 2025. The outlook suggests that weak demand and sustained low crude oil prices will continue to weigh down paraffin wax prices. Although the declines in late 2024 were moderate, they point to a more bearish sentiment in the market that could intensify if global industrial activity does not pick up.

For buyers and manufacturers, this forecast signals an extended period of cost-saving opportunities but also a need to closely monitor inventory levels and procurement strategies. Long-term contracts might offer more stability amidst market fluctuations, while producers may look to optimize operations or explore alternative markets to maintain profitability.

The paraffin wax market is expected to remain under pressure in 2025, shaped by macroeconomic challenges and energy price dynamics that will continue influencing supply and demand balance globally.
