Year-on-Year and Month-on-Month Price Comparison Analysis
1. Urea Price Comparison
- Month-on-Month (MoM):
The price remained steady at $352/MT in December 2024 compared to November 2024.
Reason: The market demand and supply balance for urea remained stable during this period, with no significant production or import disruptions. - Year-on-Year (YoY):
The price decreased from $385.5/MT in December 2023 to $352/MT in December 2024, reflecting an 8.7% drop.
Reason: Increased global production capacity, particularly in major exporting countries, coupled with reduced demand from certain importing regions due to economic slowdown, led to a decline in prices.
2. DAP Price Comparison
- Month-on-Month (MoM):
The price declined from $574.5/MT in November 2024 to $568.33/MT in December 2024, a 1.07% decrease.
Reason: Lower international phosphate fertilizer prices and moderate demand in the off-peak season contributed to the slight drop. - Year-on-Year (YoY):
The price increased marginally from $563.75/MT in December 2023 to $568.33/MT in December 2024, an 0.81% rise.
Reason: Consistent global demand and slight increases in raw material costs, such as phosphoric acid and ammonia, supported the price stability with a minor upward adjustment.
3. MOP Price Comparison
- Month-on-Month (MoM):
The price increased from $281/MT in November 2024 to $292.5/MT in December 2024, reflecting a 4.1% rise.
Reason: A seasonal surge in demand for potash fertilizers, coupled with tightened supply due to geopolitical factors affecting key exporting nations, led to the price increase. - Year-on-Year (YoY):
The price dropped from $311.88/MT in December 2023 to $292.5/MT in December 2024, a 6.2% decrease.
Reason: Better availability and a softer market due to reduced crop acreage and optimized nutrient application in key markets caused the decline.
4. Rock Phosphate Price Comparison
- Month-on-Month (MoM):
The price remained unchanged at $152.5/MT between November and December 2024.
Reason: Stable supply and demand dynamics, with no major disruptions or policy changes in the exporting countries. - Year-on-Year (YoY):
The price also remained steady at $152.5/MT in December 2024 compared to December 2023.
Reason: Long-term contracts and stable production levels from key suppliers kept the market balanced.
Summary
Overall, the fertilizer market showed mixed trends, with stability in urea and rock phosphate prices, a slight decrease in DAP prices month-on-month, and a notable rise in MOP prices month-on-month. Year-on-year changes reflect larger structural shifts, particularly in urea and MOP markets, influenced by global production and geopolitical factors.
