Quarterly Glycerine Report: Market Dynamics and Challenges

March 17th, 2025

The latest Quarterly Glycerine Report provides in-depth insights into the evolving glycerine market as 2024 draws to a close. While supply has increased, spot market availability remains tight due to lower-than-expected production growth in Brazil and Southeast Asia. High vegetable oil prices and relatively low mineral oil values continue to shape market conditions. Strong demand marked Q4 2024, with Chinese importers absorbing most of the additional supply. Buyers' inventories have remained low, and long-term coverage for refined glycerine beyond Q1 2025 is limited. Meanwhile, crude glycerine demand has surged, adding further complexity to the market. However, global trade is increasingly hindered by protectionism, regulations, and market distortions. As a result, supply and demand are shifting toward regional balances rather than traditional global flows. Stay ahead of the market with our expert analysis.
