After the holiday, the price of 2-EH increased

Market outlook
SunSirs’ plasticizer product data analysts believe that during the Spring Festival, plasticizer manufacturers had seen a decrease in production, but after the holiday, plasticizer production had resumed, and the supply of plasticizers had increased. In addition, the price of 2-EH had risen, leading to an increase in the cost of plasticizer DOTP. In the future, as the cost of plasticizers increases and supply increases, the support for DOTP increases is limited, and downward pressure still exists. It is expected that DOTP prices will be weakly consolidated in the future.
