ChemAnalyst Market Research Report

North America The North American DMS market displayed a mixed price scenario in Q4 2023, initially decreasing in October and November before experiencing a modest increase towards the quarter's end. The decline was driven by weakened downstream demand from industries like surfactants and pesticides, along with easing freight costs and sufficient regional supply. The slight uptick in prices in late Q4 was influenced by seasonal demand shifts, particularly in antifreeze applications during winter months, and production adjustments as some producers reduced output in response to earlier lower prices. Stabilizing methanol prices in Q4 helped moderate production costs, limiting significant price fluctuations. The presence of multiple producers in the region maintained high competition, contributing to price sensitivity. Import activity remained moderate, aligning imported DMS prices with domestic prices. Adequate inventory levels throughout the quarter prevented substantial price spikes...
