businesses around the world and the global raw material markets are facing many turbulences.<\/p>\n<p>Most markets and countries have been limited in economic activitities due to restrictions and lockdown measurements.<\/p>\n<p>In the past year, the spread of COVID-19 has disrupted supply chains globally in different ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Weakening demand for some companies<\/li>\n<li>Skyrocketing demand for select companies<\/li>\n<li>Creating uncertainty in obtaining raw materials<\/li>\n<li>Impacting the ability to ship and receive products on time due to shortages and logistics bottlenecks<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring workforce capacity to assemble and ship products<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As of the beginning of March 2021 the Brent Crude\u00a0Oil is\u00a0already on the level of $63\u00a0with a potential to $65 per barrel by summer 2021 (source: Goldman Sachs). Respectively this means a price adjustment of 20% compared to January 2021. Carbon Black formula prices \u2013 based on LSFO 1% \u2013 follow this trend, therefore the\u00a0expected\u00a0post-covid\u00a0market recovery is\u00a0being accompanied by significant\u00a0increases in carbon black prices.<\/p>\n<p>Logistics additionally remain a challenging aspect, due to the critical shortage of containers, specifically coming from Asia but also from other parts of the world. In December spot freight rates were even 250% higher for the Asia to Europe route. Lockdowns and limitations\/restrictions disturbed logistics and productions and as a consequence causes a paradox situation that there are about 180 mln containers worldwide, but not in the required places.<\/p>\n<p>With learnings from the outbreak,\u00a0 the supply chain operations will have to move towards a more comprehensive proactive modeling. Companies should review their supply chain strategy more deeply and in each dimension and forecast demands in close collaboration with the supplier.<\/p>\n<p>With all the challeging aspects, PentaCarbon GmbH is looking forward extending successful partnerships with its\u2019 customers.<\/p>\n<p>Please <strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/pentacarbon.de\/en\/our-team\/\">contact us<\/a><\/span><\/strong> for an individual technical consultation, product recommendation and inquiries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_us\"><\/span>Contact us<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>PentaCarbon GmbH<br \/>\nAnnabergstra\u00dfe 168<br \/>\n45721 Haltern am See<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.de\/maps\/place\/Pentacarbon+GmbH\/@51.72978,7.1604213,17z\/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x47b8f96f64200ea3:0x72cbe16d0c751ab4!2sAnnabergstra%C3%9Fe+168,+45721+Haltern+am+See!3b1!8m2!3d51.72978!4d7.16261!3m4!1s0x47b8f96f64200ea3:0x2a320f48002bd605!8m2!3d51.72978!4d7.16261\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get directions<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disrupting impact on businesses around the world and the global raw material markets are facing many turbulences.<br \/>\nMost markets and countries have been limited in economic activitities due to restrictions and lockdown measurements&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-es-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pentacarbon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pentacarbon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pentacarbon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pentacarbon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pentacarbon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7684"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pentacarbon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7684\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pentacarbon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pentacarbon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pentacarbon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
