castor oil prices in the U.S. were impacted by supply chain disruptions, particularly challenges in sourcing raw materials.
The global Castor Oil market is experiencing notable growth, driven by rising demand for biodegradable and renewable materials across various sectors, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and bio-based polymers. Castor oil’s distinct properties, such as its emollient and anti-inflammatory qualities, make it a popular ingredient in skincare and medicinal products. Growing environmental awareness is encouraging manufacturers to adopt eco-friendly alternatives, which is further fuelling demand. Additionally, castor oil is gaining importance in biodiesel production, as the world increasingly turns to renewable energy sources, contributing to the market’s expansion.
United States: In Q2 2024, castor oil prices in the U.S. were impacted by supply chain disruptions, particularly challenges in sourcing raw materials. Climate-related issues in key castor-growing regions affected harvest yields, leading to price fluctuations. Increased demand from the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, driven by consumer preference for natural and sustainable products, also pushed prices upward. Moreover, the fluctuating global crude oil market influenced transportation and production costs, adding to the pricing volatility.
South Korea: In South Korea, castor oil prices rose due to higher import costs, as the country relies on foreign suppliers for its castor oil supply. The depreciation of the won against the U.S. dollar further increased import expenses, driving prices up. Growing industrial demand, particularly in the lubricant and polymer sectors, also contributed to the upward trend. Additionally, shipping delays and port congestion exacerbated supply shortages, intensifying competition and raising prices.
France: In France, castor oil prices were influenced by increased demand for bio-based products in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, driven by stricter regulations promoting sustainable ingredients. Rising transportation costs, partly due to higher fuel prices, also contributed to price fluctuations. Seasonal agricultural factors in major castor-producing countries affected global supply, resulting in higher prices in the French market.
