Price Trends

In April 2026, the domestic propylene oxide market experienced a wave of cyclical upward momentum, with prices briefly touching an annual high of 13,000 yuan per ton. However, starting in mid-April, market sentiment took a sharp downturn, initiating a sustained period of price correction. As of May 11, market quotes for propylene oxide had retreated to 10,000 yuan per ton—a decline of over 23% within the span of just one month—signaling a clear short-term downward trend as the market entered a phase of cyclical adjustment.

Market outlook

The current price sits at its one-year median and has not yet touched its historical low; downside potential remains, and the asset may continue to exhibit a weak, sideways-trending pattern.
