During the final quarter of 2023, the Sodium Lignosulphonate market in the USA saw a steady pricing trend. Economic uncertainties, characterized by inflationary pressures and a slowdown, influenced pricing dynamics. While sectors like construction and automotive experienced partial improvements, the surplus of commodities and global demand fluctuations continued to impact prices. Despite economic challenges, the festive season brought optimism, with expectations of increased demand. The Sodium Lignosulphonate market in the USA maintained stability, buoyed by consistent demand from the construction sector, amidst reduced operational activities.
