Ethylene Carbonate (EC) Prices in China:
During the second quarter of 2024, ethylene carbonate (EC) prices in China experienced a remarkable upswing, culminating in a peak of 878 USD/MT by June. This significant price increase was primarily attributed to surging demand from the lithium-ion battery industry, where ethylene carbonate serves as a crucial component in electrolyte solvents. The industry’s rapid expansion, driven by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage systems, played a pivotal role in boosting demand for this vital chemical.

The burgeoning EV market in China, alongside the global push for renewable energy solutions, has placed ethylene carbonate in high demand. Manufacturers responded to this trend by ramping up production, yet the supply chain faced considerable challenges. Ongoing disruptions, including logistical bottlenecks and material shortages, created a tighter market, further amplifying the upward trajectory of prices.
Compared to the same period in 2023, ethylene carbonate prices surged by 13%, reflecting the robust year-over-year growth in consumption. Additionally, a 2% increase from the previous quarter underscored the steady rise in demand and the constraints in supply availability. These upward price trends highlight the essential role of ethylene carbonate in advancing technologies tied to sustainable energy and transportation.
The lithium-ion battery sector, in particular, has been a cornerstone of this price growth. With EV adoption accelerating and renewable energy storage solutions gaining traction, manufacturers are increasingly reliant on ethylene carbonate as a key input. This reliance has not only boosted prices but also placed additional strain on existing supply chains, which are already contending with global challenges.
Beyond the EV market, other sectors such as electronics and industrial applications are also contributing to the sustained demand for ethylene carbonate. As these industries continue to expand, the pressure on supply chains is expected to persist, potentially driving further price fluctuations in the future.
In conclusion, Q2 2024 marked a period of dynamic growth and volatility for ethylene carbonate prices in China. With demand continuing to outpace supply, the market's upward trajectory highlights both the opportunities and challenges inherent in the ongoing energy transition. As the global focus on sustainability intensifies, ethylene carbonate’s critical role in supporting these advancements positions it as a key commodity in the evolving market landscape.
