Stearic Acid Price Trend- Q4 2023

The stearic acid market is primarily driven by its widespread applications across various industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food production, and manufacturing. As a versatile fatty acid, stearic acid is valued for its role as a surfactant and softening agent, making it a key ingredient in the production of soaps, detergents, and personal care products like lotions and shampoos. Its binding properties also make it essential in the manufacturing of candles and plastics, as well as in the production of lubricants used in machinery and vehicles. The growth in consumer demand for personal care products, particularly those that are sustainably sourced and produced, has significantly contributed to the expansion of the stearic acid market. Additionally, the pharmaceutical sector utilizes stearic acid in the production of medications, where it acts as an excipient, and in dietary supplements, further bolstering market growth.

The global stearic acid market size reached 9 Million Tons in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 14.4 Million Tons, at a projected CAGR of 5.40% during 2023-2032. In Q4 2023, the global market for stearic acid experienced varied dynamics across different regions. In North America, despite an initial rise in demand from the chemical and automotive sectors, prices fell by 4% from the previous quarter due to high supply levels, inexpensive imports, and uncertain automotive demand. Additionally, nearshoring in Mexico affected the market dynamics as manufacturers faced high input costs. In the APAC region, the market remained stable despite a 5% quarter-on-quarter price drop, supported by strong demand from the winter tire sector and steady supplies from Indonesia and Malaysia. Europe saw moderate demand from the winter tire industry driving prices slightly, with a marginal 1.3% increase in the Netherlands despite a general 14% annual price decrease. Lastly, South America showed a mixed market situation where low initial prices due to cheap palm oil feedstock and subdued demand in the rubber sector led to price depreciation, although there was a late surge in demand from the burgeoning electric automotive industry.

Conclusively, in the last quarter, stearic acid prices were influenced by fluctuations in palm oil and other vegetable oil prices, key raw materials for its production. Weather disruptions in Southeast Asia, changing trade policies, and market demands significantly impacted these costs. Additionally, global logistics and supply chain disruptions, compounded by geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties, increased transportation costs and affected supply stability. On the demand side, a rise in the cosmetics industry's need for natural products contrasted with reduced spending due to economic slowdowns in key markets, affecting demand for stearic acid in various sectors, including automotive and manufacturing, where its use varies based on economic conditions and industry developments.
