Domestic market: In March, the prices of phthalic anhydride and octanol, the raw materials of DOP, dropped sharply, the cost of DOP dropped sharply, the pressure of DOP fell, and the price of DOP fell.

The price trend of PVC in March reflected the weak market of PVC in March. Although PVC enterprises resumed construction in March, and domestic demand recovered, PVC exports were greatly affected, PVC manufacturers' confidence was insufficient, and the equipment operation rate of PVC enterprises was average. Generally, the demand for DOP in PVC industry is average, which is bad for DOP market.

Generally speaking, the cost of DOP is decreasing, the demand is decreasing, the DOP market is weak, the downward pressure in the future is large, and it is difficult to improve in the short term.
