Factors Influencing Castor Oil Prices Trend in Across Region in the Second Quarter 2024

United States: In the USA, castor oil prices in the second quarter 2024 were influenced by supply chain disruptions, especially due to logistical constraints in raw material sourcing. Climate-related factors in major castor-growing regions impacted the harvest, contributing to price volatility. Additionally, increasing demand from the cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors drove prices up as manufacturers sought to meet consumer preferences for natural and sustainable products. The fluctuating global crude oil market, which impacts transportation and production costs, also contributed to pricing shifts.

South Korea: In South Korea, castor oil prices were affected by rising import costs, as the country relies on external suppliers for its castor oil needs. The depreciation of the won against the dollar made imports more expensive, contributing to price hikes. Industrial demand, particularly in the lubricant and polymer sectors, continued to increase, further driving up prices. Additionally, shipping delays and port congestions added to supply shortages, creating a more competitive market environment for the oil.

France: In France, castor oil prices were influenced by the growing demand for bio-based products in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, coupled with increased regulations favoring sustainable ingredients. The availability of castor oil imports was impacted by supply chain challenges, particularly transportation costs due to fuel price increases. Seasonal agricultural factors in key producing countries also played a role, affecting the global supply and driving up local prices in the French market.
