Triethanolamine (TEOA) prices have seen fluctuations in 2024. With factors such as worldwide supply chain disruptions, international demand, changes in price of raw materials, and global economic policies, driving these changes. Varied trends in price were observed across major markets – North America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe, which highlighted different buying patterns across markets and trade regulations. In the first quarter of 2025, the global triethanolamine (TEOA) market experienced a bearish trend, primarily due to oversupply and muted demand across key sectors such as personal care, cement, and industrial chemicals.

In the last quarter of 2024, TEOA prices declined across all regions owing to discrepancies between supply and demand. Several factors such as low manufacturing costs in North America, rising operational expenses in Asia-Pacific region, workforce shortages and inflation in Middle east and Africa and decline of construction industry which is a major end user of TEOA as well as surge in feedstock costs in key European countries such as Germany and France contributed towards this price drop leading to build up of inventory in various regions.

TEOA Price Forecast

TEOA prices exhibited varied patterns across regions in 2024. USA observed major price fluctuations in North America with a significant uptrend in prices in the third quarter, driven by balanced demand levels and a rise in manufacturing expenses, followed by a fall in December 2024, owing to an imbalance in the availability and consumption of TEOA. This contrasted with a price uptick in February 2024 due to shortages associated with climate conditions. While Asia exhibited inconsistent price trends in 2024, Europe saw a drop in prices in the latter half of the year due to a decline in workforce demand in construction and varying supply-demand trends.

TEOA prices will likely experience downward pressure due to uncertain global economic conditions and changing trade and tariff policies. Europe and the US are expected to see a drop in prices owing to economic instability, stagnating demand, and logistic disruptions, with tariffs and financial regulations driving the trend. Recovery of prices could be anticipated in Asia Pacific on the stabilization of demand, with energy costs also influencing TEOA price movements. However, demand in key end-user industries, such as personal care and construction, could lead to price adjustments.

Global Trade and Supply Chain Implications

In 2024, TEOA prices were heavily impacted by changes in international market regulations, distribution bottlenecks, and logistical challenges. Disturbances in the supply chain, such as hikes in tariffs and cross-border conflict in the Red Sea, along with turmoil in major canals such as Suez and Panama, have led to higher shipping costs, changes in transit routes, transportation delays, and inefficiencies in supply. Adverse weather conditions, such as fog, also led to price adjustments by traders in early 2024 in the USA.

In 2024, deep freeze events in the USA Gulf Coast led to the shutdown of TEOA-producing factories, which led to an unprecedented price hike for the chemical. Additionally, the fragile growth of Europe’s economy during November 2024 has led to a price drop of TEOA in the region, highlighting the economic forces at play.

Feedstock Analysis

In 2024, price fluctuations of ethylene oxide, a key feedstock material, along with changes in crude prices, had an impact on the pricing of TEOA. In November, TEOA prices declined in North America and Asia Pacific as a drop in prices of ethylene oxide and crude oil, supplemented with weakened demand in these regions, affected pricing trends. Similarly, lower crude oil prices in the Middle East and Africa also exerted pressure on the prices of TEOA.

In December 2024, despite the relative stability of raw material prices such as ethylene oxide and crude oil, prices of TEOA in Europe experienced a downward trend, owing to supply-demand factors; however, it helped in maintaining a stable flow of production in that region. Overall, changes in prices of raw materials such as ethylene oxide and crude oil helped shape the pricing dynamics of TEOA across various regions.

Demand and Supply Outlook for TEOA

TEOA prices are likely to exhibit uncertainty in price movements in the first half of 2025 due to excess supply in key production areas, low market demand and operational disruptions. Geopolitical unrest, along with global fiscal and monetary policies, would impact the direction of exports and imports in the TEOA market. Anticipated port strikes in the USA and a proposed increase in tariffs on imports by the new government could aid in price fluctuations in the USA. A strong demand forecast for TEOA may also result in shifts in trade relations with countries exporting TEOA to the USA, potentially influencing consumption trends within the region. This could also result in a change in freight rates across the globe. TEOA, being a major cement additive, would be impacted by the performance of the construction industry, which is anticipated to rise in future. Thus, global economic policies, market trends, and the operation of the supply chain would largely influence the price of TEOA in 2025. Econometric market analysis also suggests that continued volatility in upstream raw materials and policy variables will remain key influencers of TEOA pricing through 2025.
