For the Quarter Ending December 2022
North America
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the price of Vancomycin Hydrochloride increased from $718525/mt to $730650/mt in October and November before falling to $705755/mt in December. China's Golden Week during the first week of October prevented the importation of Vancomycin Hydrochloride from that nation. Due to their huge inventories, domestic suppliers were able to meet the total demand during most part of the quarter, and also, offtakes in the end-user industries remained above average. The second part of the quarter saw a shifting pattern in the market for Vancomycin Hydrochloride because of the sudden rise of Covid cases in China. The supply chain did, however, gradually improve in the second half as the economy expanded, and there was a considerable drop in ship traffic at the ports.
Asia Pacific
Vancomycin Hydrochloride prices in China showed a decreasing price trend during the fourth quarter of 2022 in the Asia Pacific region, with FOB Shanghai values falling from $647455/mt to $606455/mt from October to December. The orders for China's API sector producing Vancomycin Hydrochloride declined steadily during the first week of October as a result of the shutdown of industrial facilities for the Golden Week. It was challenging for the market to catch up to the small rise seen in some downstream industries during the first part of Q4 because Chinese traders had to deal with a range of contradicting signals after a one-week break. However, positive demand kept the market afloat. Large inventory allowed domestic producers and suppliers to meet the total demand for the whole quarter. In reaction to criticism and severe turmoil in the country, the administration revised its zero-covid policies, making the country vulnerable yet again.
Europe
Vancomycin Hydrochloride costs decreased in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2022, with CFR Hamburg values falling from $735110/mt to $720405/mt between October and December. Demand from the overseas market was stronger during the first half of the quarter than it was in December due to the unexpected increase in covid cases, which caused a gradual decline in demand. Domestic demand for Vancomycin Hydrochloride in Germany remained strong during the quarter despite rising energy and raw material costs.

The third quarter of 2022 saw conflicting emotions in the Vancomycin Hydrochloride market.

Due to sluggish pharmaceutical industry demand, prices abruptly dropped. Due to consistent demand and supply market sentiments through the conclusion of the second month of Q3, the price trend remained downward. The destocking of the current supply also impacted the pricing of Sulfamethoxazole. Price increases in Asia-Pacific started in the third month of Q3 2022 due to supply chain disruption and unbalanced shipments.
