Analysis of Factors Supporting the Rise of MEK Market
In terms of supply: Currently, the overall operation of MEK factories remains at a low level, with an operating rate of around 70%. Some MEK factories have delivered export orders, and with the support of export orders, the overall supply pressure on the MEK market is relatively low. The supply side provides support for the MEK market situation.
In terms of demand: The weather is gradually warming up, and the terminal market for MEK is steadily recovering. The overall downstream demand for MEK is stable with a slight increase, and the demand side has also brought upward power to the market.
Market outlook
At present, the trading atmosphere in the domestic MEK market is mild, and the mentality of the industry is good. SunSirs’ MEK data analysts believe that in the short term, the domestic MEK market will mainly operate stably with small fluctuations, and the specific trend still needs to pay more attention to the specific news changes on the supply and demand side.
