In November 2025, the US market for Ethoxylated Tridecyl Alcohol remained balanced, with a slight increase of 0.3% by domestic market players. Production rates were steady in the country due to steady supplies of fatty alcohols, supported by strong palm kernel oil output and imports from Indonesia and Malaysia. Operating rates at plants across the country stayed consistent, while supply rates to buyers were moderate. Meanwhile, US Ethoxylated Tridecyl Alcohol exports held up well in November despite global challenges. At the same time, demand in the US stayed steady, supported by strong use in personal care, detergents, and industrial cleaning, with holiday season needs giving it an extra push. Buyers, however, remained cautious, mindful of earlier price shifts. As December approaches, prices are expected to ease a little, with slower demand, lower freight costs, and increased imports from Asia adding downward pressure. Overall, the market is balanced but moving into a softer phase as the year winds down.
