LONDON (ICIS)--Players down the oxo-alcohols value chain are preparing for EPCA where discussions are set to take place against a backdrop of low visibility, economic concern and persistently subdued demand.
· Post-summer demand disappointing across the board
· General availability sufficient although individual producers face some supply constraints
· Players’ expectations for 2025 closely linked to outlook for general economy and key construction and automotive industries
Oxo-Alcohols editor Nicole Simpson speaks to Acrylate Esters editor Mat Jolin-Beech, Glycol Ethers editor Cameron Birch and Butyl Acetate editor Marion Boakye about the current market and expectations for early 2025.
