SunSirs: The 1,4-Butanediol Market Rebounded Last Week
May 26 2025 09:21:23
According to the commodity market analysis system of SunSirs, from May 19 to 23, the average price of domestic 1,4-butanediol rose from 7,950 RMB/ton to 8,078 RMB/ton, with a price increase of 1.62% during the period, a month-on-month increase of 1.87%, and a year-on-year decrease of 10.52%.
The domestic 1,4-butanediol market is stable and has a narrow upward trend. Some units are under maintenance, the industry's capacity utilization rate has decreased, and the supply-side support has increased. Manufacturers have tightened their sales policies to actively support the market. Downstream follow up on demand, spot small orders are traded at the high end, and the market center of gravity has risen narrowly.
On the supply side, following the maintenance of Xinjiang Xinye's unit, Dongjing Biological's unit was also shut down for major inspections, the industry's capacity utilization rate has been reduced again, and the market's available supply has been reduced. At the same time, transportation in Xinjiang has been slightly slow recently, and the industry has been in long-term losses, so suppliers have actively adjusted their sales policies in June to support the market. The supply side of 1,4-butanediol is affected by favorable factors.

Cost side, raw material calcium carbide: The sudden increase in supply has become the main factor causing the price of calcium carbide to fall. The domestic methanol market is weak. As of 10:00 am on May 23, the domestic methanol Taicang price is 2,304 RMB/ton. Raw material calcium carbide and methanol prices are weak, and the cost side of 1,4-butanediol is affected by negative factors.
