Acrylic Acid Price Trend Feedstock Propylene prices accounts for about 48-55% of the total production cost of acrylic acid. Global Acrylic Acid Price Trend Feedstock propylene prices started to rise due to tight supply weak macro-economic conditions impacted the demand for acrylic acid Stabilized market conditions as there are no major improvement from downstream industries Sources: Supplier Information Price Determinant Factors Impact Feedstock Price Macro-Economic Factors Downstream Demand
Feedstock Propylene Price Trend Global Propylene Price Trend Tight supply due to shale gas impact Seasonal demand coupled with supply shortage of propylene Major plant outages and hedging resulted in increase of propylene prices Sources: Supplier Information Price Determinant Factors Feedstock Price Volatility Major plant outages Supply Availability of propylene fluctuation in crude oil prices Seasonal Price fluctuations Impact
Which Region is Currently Attractive to Source Acrylic Acid? Propylene accounts for about 48-55% of the total production cost of acrylic acid Global Acrylic Acid Production Cost Sources: Beroe Analysis, Supplier Information Raw Material Cost Utility Cost Labor Cost Fixed Cost Asia is predominantly the best region to source acrylic acid due to: cost of production feedstock prices compared to the US & Europe Huge capacity additions in the next five years This may all change with advent of PDH Technologies
Industry Trends To reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and to obtain a better profit margin, suppliers have started to make their step towards bio-acrylic acid. Future Trends 1 2 3 4 Shift from petro-based to bio-based acrylic acid Effect: Reduces the impact of crude oil price volatility Shift from PVA and Vinyl Acetate to Acrylic Emulsions. Effect: Increasing demand for acrylic acid Increasing diaper usage in developing economies Effect: Demand for SAP to grow at 4-5% across the globe Crackers switching towards lighter feedstock's in the US Effect: Fall in propylene supply resulting in propylene and acrylic acid price hikes 10
