For the Quarter Ending June 2023

North America:

In the second quarter of 2023, the market for Sodium Chlorite in North America experienced subdued market conditions. The initial part of Q2 witnessed a significant decline in momentum, followed by a slower rate of decrement in the last two months. Market sentiments fluctuated, influenced by various factors impacting demand and supply dynamics. Diminished consumption from downstream textile and paper industries led market participants to approach the product cautiously. Bulk purchasing interest declined as buyers preferred immediate stock procurement amid weak purchasing activities in the international market. Despite a consistent inflow of material, high inventories left buyers hesitant, resulting in subdued trading activities for the commodity. The prevailing economic uncertainty, concerns over high inflation, and rising interest rates further shaped market sentiments and contributed to a cautious atmosphere within the industry. The healthy availability of the material narrowed the gap between demand and supply, leading purchasers to offer lower bidding prices. Furthermore, reduced procurement activities remained a major driver for the declining commodity price in the market.

APAC:

In Asia-Pacific, specifically in China, the Sodium Chlorite market experienced a notable decline in prices during the second quarter of 2023. Throughout Q2, the market witnessed an overall plunge of approximately 6%. The demand for Sodium Chlorite from downstream textile industries significantly decreased due to a lack of interest. However, there was still moderate demand from wastewater treatment businesses. Despite this, the spot market encountered several challenges during the quarter. Moreover, the market remained oversupplied, with abundant product availability in domestic ports, leading to weak purchasing activities over the past few months. Despite inquiries from buyers, there were no reported supply issues during this period. Buyers refrained from placing large orders, and immediate stock purchases resulted in reduced trading activities, contributing to the decline in the commodity's price. The persistently weak market conditions and the bearish sentiment continued to push prices down further. Meanwhile, players in these regions expressed their concerns about making any fresh purchases given the ongoing downtrend.

Europe:

During the second quarter of 2023, the Sodium Chlorite market experienced a consistent decline in prices. At the onset of Q2, decreasing trading activities led to an apprehensive market environment. Feeble buyer interest in both domestic and international markets, along with sluggish end-user consumption in key industries such as Textile and Paper, compelled market participants to adopt lower prices to remain competitive. However, despite moderate demand from water treatment plants, it was insufficient to influence market sentiments. In addition, towards the penultimate month of Q2, abundant supplies of Sodium Chlorite in domestic ports contributed to an oversupplied market, despite low demand and feeble purchasing activities. This, along with a decline in market value, kept prices at the lower end. In June, economic uncertainties and concerns of a recession continued to dominate market sentiments, further reinforcing the downward trajectory of prices. Oversupply has had a marked impact on the Sodium Chlorite market in Germany. Furthermore, end-users have curtailed their purchases, opting to buy only when absolutely necessary.
