Episode 1275: Weak demand for Europe adipic acid and nylon to continue into Q1 2025

Europe adipic acid and downstream nylon 6,6 markets face bleak prospects for demand in December, followed by a broadly flat outlook in 2025, with overall weak consumption from key derivative markets. Over the past few months, very slow demand and ample supply has continued to dominate European markets alongside rising costs of production.

In this latest podcast, ICIS editors Meeta Ramnani and Marta Fern share the latest developments and expectations for what lies ahead.

• Seasonal destocking to weaken buying interest further in December
• Demand could stay low in 2025; recovery depends on macroeconomic factors
• Q1 2025 could bring restocking; its magnitude unclear
• Asian adipic acid import volumes likely to increase in Q1
