North America
The North American market for Atenolol API witnessed turbulence during the fourth quarter of 2022. Due to high manufacturing costs, numerous logistical challenges, and increasing inflation, prices started to rise in Q4 2022 and continued to do so throughout the second month of the fourth quarter, with values accessed at USD 47650/MT CFR New York. Rising transportation costs and port congestion at the main ports also helped to keep the market situation positive. In addition, the market situation improved due to the decrease in API output driven by higher energy prices. Later in December, prices started to drop due to easing inflation and a drop in end-user sector demand as the holiday season drew near. In December, the Atenolol API settlement price fell to USD 46355/MT CFR in New York.
