Analysis review

In September, the price of formaldehyde in the Shandong region fluctuated and consolidated. From the data from SunSirs, it can be seen that the formaldehyde market had been rising since the end of June, with slight fluctuations this month. As of September 26th, the mainstream market price in Shandong region was 1,150-1,260 RMB/ton. In September, the raw material methanol market first fell and then rose. Formaldehyde manufacturers started operating normally, while downstream panel factories mainly maintained rigid demand. Production enterprises had high shipping pressure, and formaldehyde mainly fluctuated with the fluctuations of raw materials, but the fluctuations were relatively small.

Upstream methanol situation: In September, the domestic methanol market first fell and then rose. The reason for the previous decline was the weakening of the methanol futures market, which affected the cautious mentality of traders. The speed of picking up methanol slowed down, and the inventory of production enterprises increased, and the domestic methanol market narrowly weakened. The reason for the later increase was that the raw coal provided strong support, downstream demand was relatively stronger, and pre holiday stocking and downstream product operating rates were both somewhat positive.

Market outlook

Recently, the domestic methanol market was mainly fluctuating and declining, and cost support was poor, and the demand from downstream plate factories was average. Therefore, formaldehyde analysts from SunSirs predict that the price of formaldehyde in Shandong will mainly decline slightly in the near future.
