• The isopropyl alcohol market is currently experiencing challenges due to the volatility of crude oil prices. As propylene, the primary raw material for isopropyl alcohol production, is derived from oil or its derivatives, fluctuations in crude oil prices directly impact the production capacity and cost of propylene. The decline in oil prices in recent years has forced oil and gas industry players to implement cost-cutting measures, including workforce reductions. The Energy Information Administration anticipates a decrease in crude oil prices in the coming months, which may further impact the supply and demand of isopropyl alcohol raw materials. The exchange rates, import/export levels, and production capacity adjustments also contribute to the price fluctuations of natural gas and crude oil, ultimately affecting the price of isopropyl alcohol. These factors may negatively impact the global isopropyl alcohol market during the forecast period.
