Acrylamide Prices, Pricing, Demand & Supply
North America
In the fourth quarter of 2023, Acrylamide prices in the USA exhibited mixed trends due to various factors. In October, prices rose due to high-priced imports, but inflation eased in November, fostering improved business conditions. Positive trends continued in December as inflationary pressures further abated. Increased demand from water treatment and related industries contributed to better business conditions, and major exporting nations raised selling prices due to higher production costs.
November witnessed increased consumer spending and improved market activities, enhancing overall economic conditions. Despite only moderate demand in downstream industries, consumer confidence in the US increased in November and December, signaling optimism about future business conditions. However, higher Acrylonitrile prices on the supply side increased manufacturing costs, prompting major exporting nations to raise their selling prices.
As of December 2023, the assessed Acrylamide Prices Powder CFR USGC were USD 1300/MT, representing a 3% decrease compared to the previous quarter and a significant 65% decrease compared to the same quarter last year.

APAC
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Acrylamide market in the APAC region experienced various factors influencing prices. Demand from downstream industries such as textiles, paper, and pulp remained on the upper side, leading to improved market conditions. However, slower manufacturing rates and the fragility of the economic recovery hindered overall industrial performance. Increased production costs, driven by higher prices of upstream raw materials like Acrylonitrile and Sulphuric Acid, contributed to the challenges faced. In China, significant changes in prices were observed, with an improved demand outlook and slight development in inquiries from domestic and overseas markets. The manufacturing sector saw a rebound in activity, reflected in the official Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index increase. However, factory-gate deflation continued, reflecting ongoing challenges in the economy's recovery from the post-pandemic downturn.
