The price of isooctanol fluctuated and rose in May

 

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyishe, as of May 30th, the quotation for isooctanol was 9910 yuan/ton, a fluctuating increase of 2.59% compared to the quotation of 9660 yuan/ton on May 1st. In May, the price of isooctanol was at the bottom of the market, and there was limited room for its decline. Since the domestic isooctanol market hit bottom in mid April, the price center of isooctanol has slowly shifted upwards. From the demand side, the rotating maintenance of downstream plasticizers and isooctyl acrylate units in May resulted in low continuity of buying, and the fluctuation range of isooctyl alcohol narrowed. The market for isooctanol lacks continuous upward momentum, and the price of isooctanol has fluctuated slightly.

 

The price of n-butanol fluctuated and rose in May

Future expectations

 

Business Society plasticizer product data analysts believe that in May, the production of plasticizer DBP manufacturers slightly decreased, and upstream isooctanol and n-butanol manufacturers, as well as downstream PVC product enterprises of plasticizers, all experienced varying degrees of maintenance, resulting in an overall tightening of supply in the plasticizer sector; Downstream production has decreased, and downstream demand for plasticizers is expected to decrease. In the future, in June, plasticizer manufacturers reduced maintenance and resumed supply, resulting in a double increase in supply and demand. The supply of plasticizers was sufficient, and demand rebounded; The rise in raw material prices has slowed down, and the support for the increase in plasticizer costs has weakened; Downstream demand support is increasing, and it is expected that the price of plasticizer DBP will consolidate strongly in the future.
