Analysis review

At present, the price of raw material propylene has fallen, but the cost support still exists, and the spot supply in the market has shrunk. Under the dual support of cost and supply, corporate quotations have risen, and the price center has steadily moved up. The downstream is cautious about high prices and mainly purchases on demand. The wait-and-see atmosphere is strong.

Upstream propylene, as of March 3, the market price of propylene in Shandong declined individually. According to the price chart of SunSirs, affected by the upstream and downstream effects, the price of propylene rose repeatedly in the second half of February and rose to a high in recent years. It started to stabilize at the end of the month. On the 4th, the prices went down individually. The market turnover was between 8,450~8,700 RMB/ton, and the mainstream price was about 8,500 RMB/ton. The impact of propylene in the United States and Japan has been reduced, and production capacity has recovered slightly.

Market outlook

According to the acrylic acid analysts of SunSirs, the current price of raw material propylene is weak and downstream operations are cautious, but the supply of acrylic acid in the market is tightening, which support the price to a certain extent. It is expected that in the short-term, the acrylic acid market may continue to operate strongly, and more attention needs to be paid to market news guidance.
