In the first and second quarters of 2023, the tertiary butyl alcohol market witnessed fluctuating price trends in different regions. In Asia, the price initially rose due to restocking behavior after holidays and increased demand from solvent and gasoline sectors, but later slowed down due to ample product availability and declining demand. In Europe, prices declined due to rising inventories, fluctuating feedstock costs, and low consumer buying sentiments amid high interest rates and inflation. In North America, prices initially increased but declined later due to the closure of significant US banks, resulting in tight monetary policies, rising interest rates, and a slump in downstream industries.
