North American Castor Oil Prices – Fourth Quarter
The castor oil prices in North America experienced a fluctuating trajectory during the last quarter. Initially, the market saw an upward trend due to the increasing demand and constrained supply. This heightened demand was driven by a growing awareness of castor oil’s industrial applications and a shift toward sustainable alternatives. Additionally, constrained supplies from major exporting countries and rising energy costs contributed to the price surge, especially in the US. However, as November progressed, castor oil prices faced a notable downturn. This decline was primarily due to a global reduction in downstream consumption and a decrease in new quotations from the regional market.
Asia Pacific Castor Oil Prices
In the Asia Pacific region, the castor oil prices experienced a price decline until November, followed by a significant rebound by the end of December. The initial drop was linked to reduced domestic downstream demand and a lack of new inquiries. Manufacturers adjusted their output to match demand, leveraging product abundance. India, a major exporter, reduced prices due to lower production costs influenced by declining crude oil prices. An unexpected influx of castor seeds, particularly in Rajasthan and Gujarat, drove a market correction.
In Europe Castor Oil Prices
In Europe, particularly in the Netherlands, castor oil prices witnessed a declining trend throughout the fourth quarter, reaching its lowest point in November before experiencing a significant rebound in December. The initial downward trend was driven by weakening prices in key exporting nations, especially India. Local manufacturers responded to decreasing off-takes from downstream sectors by lowering their selling prices to clear stockpiles within the domestic market.
