In the first half of November 2025, Fatty Alcohol prices remained unchanged as the equilibrium between supply and demand ensured stable pricing without significant fluctuations.

In early November, The Fatty Alcohol production rates were moderate in the European region due to the short supplies of feedstock coconut oil in the region. Key distribution hubs like the Netherlands limited the inflows of coconut from Southeast Asian producers amid tightening global copra supplies and rising sourcing costs.

At the same time, supply rates were moderately low to international buyers as Europe鈥檚 exports were weak during the period. Southern countries like Greece and Spain showed some growth, but major economies such as Germany and France faced difficulties. Trade within the EU remained stable, but exports to the U.S. and China fell amid trade tensions. However, supply rates were moderate to regional buyers as intra-European trade remained active amid green logistics and digital transformation projects to improve long-term supply chain stability.

During mid-November, Fatty Alcohol C12-14 FOB Hamburg quotations were hovering around USD 3230/MT.

Meanwhile, the demand for Fatty Alcohol remained steady in Europe during the early weeks of the month, with a cautiously optimistic outlook, supported by growth in cosmetics, personal care, and paints and coatings. The cosmetics and personal care sector grew with strong interest in premium, sustainable, and wellness-focused products, while digital sales added further strength. Fatty Alcohols remained essential in surfactants, emulsifiers, and moisturizers used in these formulations.

At the same time, the paints and coatings sector held steady, backed by a recovery in construction and automotive industries. Rising demand for eco-friendly, waterborne, and low-VOC coatings reinforced the need for Fatty Alcohols in specialty surfactants and additives, keeping overall demand balanced and resilient across key downstream applications.

However, the upcoming market dynamics suggest that Fatty Alcohol prices in Europe may decline in the final weeks of the year, with ease in demand after October鈥檚 restocking surge, leading to lower trading activity. Softer year-end demand in key markets, combined with destocking by Asian players, is expected to add downward pressure. Falling feedstock coconut oil prices could reduce Fatty Alcohol production costs, while a seasonal slowdown in logistics may lower freight expenses, further softening overall market costs. Additionally, buyers are likely to delay purchases to manage inventory and cash flow, as well as to accommodate the typical slowdown in manufacturing activity during December. Hence, market players would revise Fatty Alcohol quotations negatively to encourage sales, resulting in weaker price levels.
