Global AES Prices Spike Amid Rising Production Costs and Palm Oil Pressures
25/09/2024 (Chemanalyst) - In late September 2024, the global AES (Alkyl Ether Sulfate) market experienced a notable surge as production costs escalated.

As per the recent market development, Indian refiners have canceled approximately around of 100,000 metric tons of Palm Oil purchases scheduled for delivery between October to December.
