In October 2024, CRC prices increased to 1135 USD/MT, up 13% from 1008 USD/MT in October 2023. This surge was primarily driven by temporary supply constraints and localized demand from automotive manufacturers. However, the upward trend did not last. By November 2024, prices dropped to 1104 USD/MT, marking a 10% decline compared to the previous year's 1232 USD/MT. The downward momentum intensified in December, with CRC prices falling sharply to 964 USD/MT, a significant 29% decrease from 1363 USD/MT in December 2023.

These fluctuations highlight the volatility in the CRC market, influenced by factors such as raw material costs, mill output levels, energy prices, and the overall economic climate. The sharp year-end decline suggests a cooling demand across key sectors and improved production rates that outpaced consumption.

Looking ahead, Expert Market Research anticipates that CRC prices will likely remain mixed in 2025, with potential upward pressure in regions experiencing strong economic growth and infrastructure investment. However, global economic uncertainties, geopolitical tensions, and changes in trade policies may contribute to price instability.

Manufacturers and buyers are advised to remain agile, closely monitoring inventory levels and global supply chain conditions. Strategic sourcing, hedging practices, and market intelligence will be essential in navigating the CRC market as it heads into another unpredictable year.
