Market Influencing Factors

Supply and Demand: As of August 12, some n-butanol plants were adjusting their operations, reducing production and shrinking on-site supply. This had provided some confidence boost to the market. However, downstream n-butanol demand continued to be dominated by just-in-time purchases, with some downstream companies remaining cautious in stocking up. Overall demand improvement was limited, and the transmission between n-butanol supply and demand remained weak.

Future outlook:

As of August 12, the trading atmosphere of n-butanol market was mild, downstream users mostly inquired about raw material purchases at low prices, high-priced shipments were limited, and downstream users replenished stocks on demand as a whole. The n-butanol data analyst of SunSirs predicts that in the short term, the n-butanol market in Shandong region of China will be mainly stable with small fluctuations, and more attention should be paid to the changes in supply and demand news.
