APAC

The Calcium Silicate Prices in the APAC region faced challenges during the fourth quarter of 2023, with a subsequent rebound towards the end of the period. Initially, the market experienced a decline in prices attributed to weak demand and an oversupply of the product. The construction sector, a key consumer of Calcium Silicate, witnessed a slowdown, resulting in decreased new orders and reduced overall activity. This, coupled with a slowdown in infrastructure spending, further impacted the market, leading to price declines and an accumulation of stock. Despite marginal improvements in factory activities, the overall demand remained low. However, a positive shift occurred in China by the conclusion of the quarter, driven by firm market demand. China's efforts to rejuvenate its struggling real estate sector and support post-pandemic economic recovery contributed to increased demand for Calcium Silicate, especially in construction, as well as its applications as an anticaking agent in the food and drug industries. Anticipated gains are expected in the early months of 2024. In China, where the most significant price changes occurred, there was limited availability of Calcium Silicate, resulting in price increases. Nevertheless, the overall demand in the region remained subdued due to a housing market slowdown and reduced infrastructure spending. The quarter-ending price for Calcium Silicate in China was recorded at USD 890/MT FOB Qingdao.
