The ongoing disruption to key energy and petrochemical supply chains is creating meaningful challenges across global chemical markets. Constraints on production and logistics through critical export routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, are driving increased input costs and reduced availability across several product categories.
During periods like this, reliable logistics and diversified sourcing become critical, and Redox is actively supporting customers through these evolving conditions.
Redox’s global logistics capability enables product movements across more than 400 port pairs worldwide, supported by over 100 storage locations strategically positioned throughout key markets. Our sourcing team draws on a database of more than 7,000 manufacturers, including over 1,100 active suppliers across all major producing regions. This scale and flexibility allow Redox to rapidly redirect supply pathways, identify alternative sources, and maintain continuity wherever possible.
Across the market, Redox is observing broad-based inflation across a range of products, particularly those linked to energy and petrochemical feedstocks.
This includes polyethylene (PE) resins, where supply has tightened materially due to reduced output and disrupted export flows from major Middle Eastern producers. Upward pricing pressure is also being experienced across fertilisers, glycols, solvents, and sulphur-based products, reflecting higher feedstock costs and increased freight rates.
Many producers of downstream products have called Force Majeure and some governments have restricted exports and are introducing rationing to protect domestic consumers.
Redox’s role in times like these is to provide stability, transparency, and continuity. Our teams are working closely with suppliers and customers to secure alternative supply channels, optimise freight movements, and manage inventory positions across our global network.
We understand that disruptions of this scale create uncertainty. Our commitment is to remain agile, proactive, and fully engaged with customers to help navigate these conditions and minimise operational impact wherever possible.
Redox will continue to monitor developments closely and provide further updates as conditions evolve.
