Market summary and outlook
The DOP data analyst of SunSirs believes that due to the fluctuations in raw material prices, the DOP price in June followed changes, and the DOP market in June was difficult to stabilize. As DOP enters the off-season in the market outlook, DOP imports remain at a low level, while the large increase in export volume stimulates the increase in DOP demand. As the off-season approaches, the export stimulus weakens and the market outlook is insufficient to support the rise. In terms of start-ups, most DOP manufacturers still maintained low load levels in June, but DOP's theoretical profits picked up in June, companies started slowly recovering, and DOP output increased slightly. In general, under the support of DOP cost in the short term, DOP still has certain upward pressure. DOP is expected to fluctuate upward in the short term; in the long term, DOP demand will fall, supply will increase, DOP downward pressure will increase, and the upward momentum will weaken. It is expected that the long-term DOP market will fall, and the price will fluctuate to fall.
