Continued weakness across the board
- Performance continued to deteriorate in Q2 2023 with overall organic growth declining (12.7%) versus Q2 2022
- Favorable pricing increases observed in the previous two quarters faded as a majority of the sub-sectors reported year-over-year decrease in prices (down 5.5% on average). The following sub-sectors bucked the downtrend:
- Minerals & Inorganics continued to push through price increases given a tight supply market and strong demand from lithium end-market; and
- Coatings & Adhesives and Specialty Chemicals players experienced a modest increase in prices
- Year-over-year volume continued to decline (down 7.2% on average) across the industry amidst persistent macro-economic challenges
