Alpha Pinene Market in India to Face Seasonal Shifts and Price Challenges in the Near Future

The Alpha Pinene market in India expected to see drastic changes in the last quarter of this year. With demand expected to increase from sectors such as cosmetics, adhesives, and pharmaceuticals, etc., the market is expected to display stability. Yet, fluctuations in prices are expected to influence the market in the coming months. As manufacturers and industries adjust to the changing economic conditions, Alpha Pinene’s performance from the next month till early 2025 is predicted to vary, affected by both seasonal and economic shifts. In addition, the price trend of natural turpentine oil, which is the base material for Alpha Pinene production, will alter the market dynamics during this period.

In the last two months, i.e. in August and September, the Alpha Pinene market experienced constant growth, driven by demand from various sectors such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Manufacturers responded by enhancing their production rates to cater to the increasing demand. During this time, manufacturers capitalized on stable natural turpentine oil availability, leading to consistent growth of the market. The market’s growth was also improved by a 2.5% rise in prices in August. Furthermore, the price of natural turpentine oil experienced significant growth during the third quarter, due to increased demand from the paints and coatings sector, contributing to the overall increasing trend.

Looking forward, in October, demand for Alpha Pinene is expected to be robust, supported by the festive season, which usually experiences a surge in usage of products involving Alpha Pinene, particularly in cosmetics and personal care segment. Analysts at ChemAnalyst expect this demand to keep production levels elevated. Stable turpentine oil prices, driven by strong industrial activity in the paint and coatings industries, will certainly aid in maintaining the market momentum.

However, in November and December, the market for Alpha Pinene is expected to witness fluctuations. Seasonal slowdowns in sectors like construction, automotive, and industrial adhesives might reduce the demand for Alpha Pinene. Economic uncertainties and fluctuating turpentine oil prices could further affect market growth. December is projected to see a 2.4% decline, signalling bearish market conditions. Manufacturers may focus on adjusting production volumes to align with forecasted demand for the upcoming year.

Despite this potential slowdown, the Alpha Pinene market is expected to recover in January 2025, with demand expected to revive from sectors such as pharmaceuticals and fragrances. This recovery is projected to continue into February, though a slight dip of 2.0% is expected as demand stabilizes. Moreover, natural turpentine oil prices would stabilize by early 2025, following volatility in late 2024.

In summary, while the Alpha Pinene market has shown consistent growth, the outlook for the next five months suggests varied performance. Manufacturers will need to overcome seasonal fluctuations and manage turpentine oil price changes to maintain market stability.
