In 2017, the international crude oil market showed the "V" trend, which oscillated in the first half of the year and reversed in the second half of the year. WTI crude oil rose 11% throughout the year, while Brent crude oil rose 17%. In 2018, the international crude oil market will enter a new stage. The prolongation of production cuts and changes in the US shale oil market will affect the trend of crude oil prices. Under this circumstance， how will the oleochemical industry respond and move forward?
For raw materials, the negative impact of the strong El Niño phenomenon from the second half of 2016 to the first half of 2017 on the southeastern palm oil production gradually faded, and global palm oil output is expected to resume growth.
Facing with excess capacity and weak demand for downstream industry, how could fatty acid and fatty alcohol companies get rid of the "predicament”?
In the glycerol market, changes in environmental protection priorities, as well as consumer spending on medicines, food and beverages, and personal care products continue to increase, the demand for glycerin will be expected to soar. By 2022, the global glycerol market is expected to reach 4.1 million tons, with an average compound annual growth rate of 6.6%.
For biodiesel, Argentina’s biodiesel utilization rate continued to rise after the WTO announced its support for Argentina’s biodiesel anti-dumping case in Europe. However, the US government and the biofuels sector announced in the third quarter that anti-dumping tariffs on biodiesel in Indonesia and Argentina will be high, and the anti-dumping storm will resume?
