Demand growth in downstream industries such as bisphenol A, MMA, and isopropanol is weak, especially in the phenol market
The isopropanol market has recently been consolidating within a range, with relatively small price fluctuations.
The toluene market is currently experiencing a supply-demand stalemate, with prices temporarily stable. Downstream suppliers are purchasing on demand,
Xylene prices are currently under pressure, fluctuating generally within a low range. Domestic xylene production capacity has been hindered, with new plant commissioning delayed. Coupled with limited import supply, supply pressure has eased somewhat. However, capacity expansion in the downstream PX (paraxylene) industry is providing some support for paraxylene demand, but the overall supply-demand landscape remains relatively loose.
Methyl ethyl ketone price fluctuations have narrowed recently, with the market remaining stagnant at a low level.
Capacity utilization in the n-butyl acetate industry remains low, demand growth in traditional downstream sectors such as coatings and inks is lagging, and emerging applications (such as pharmaceutical extraction and high-end solvents) have yet to build scale.
