In 2022, a series of interrelated major events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the resulting food and energy crisis, soaring inflation, tightening debt conditions, and climate emergencies, resulted in a severe blow to the global economy. The global economy has been seeing a slowdown in 2023 since the last year. The Asia-Pacific region is generally in a post-pandemic recovery phase, but the recovery is slow. SK Group is divesting its polyol subsidiary, SK Pucore, to reorganize its assets and accelerating the transformation of its business model towards a focus on chips and secondary battery materials. Wanhua Chemical, Changhua Chemical, and Zhejiang Petroleum & Chemical are further expanding their market positions in the polyether polyol sector and enhancing their brand image to consolidate their industry influence. However, the demand recovery in Asia Pacific downstream industries such as upholstered furniture, automobiles, home appliances, and construction, which heavily rely on polyether polyols, is slower than expected, reflecting low market expectations, low confidence, and insufficient purchasing power. Despite the support from the cost side - propylene oxide, the mainstream prices of MW 3000 polyols have been constrained and fluctuated around $ 1,200-1,300/MT due to the imbalance between supply and demand. Asia-Pacific Polyether Polyols Market Research Report 2023, prepared by PUdaily, focuses on the Asia-Pacific market, providing in-depth analysis of the supply-demand pattern, price trends, costs and profits, potential growth, industry opportunities and potential threats, investment environment, and more. This report will assist users in targeting the ever-changing submarkets in the coming years, helping stakeholders make informed decisions and promote their development.
