-Europe BDO demand remains soft, uptick in Sept less likely
European butanediol (BDO) demand remains low in early September while expectations of a post-summer uptick in activity are diminishing.
Lengthy supply continues to dominate market fundamentals with ample availability from both domestic and overseas suppliers.
“[The market is] extremely long and everyone is begging me to take material,” claimed one European buyer.
In Europe, production is running smoothly. There were no reported outages planned for September.
Poor demand from the key derivative market polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) has especially depressed BDO buying appetite and contributed to surplus BDO volumes being available this quarter. Petrochemicals Preforms Trade War
