Analysis review

Market: Cyclohexane market prices remained stable but slightly weaker in September 2025. According to SunSirs’ data, the benchmark price on September 29th was 7,200 RMB/ton, down 1.37% from the beginning of the month (7,300 RMB/ton) and down 0.92% week-on-week. Prices fluctuated between 7,200 and 7,266.67 RMB/ton, remaining at an annual low.

Supply and Demand: On the supply side, plants were operating normally, with ample spot supply. Overall market shipments were slow, leading to significant inventory pressure. On the demand side, downstream purchases were primarily driven by just-in-time demand, while the cyclohexanone market was weak, further suppressing cyclohexane demand. The cyclohexanone market was primarily operating in a narrow range, with downstream purchases primarily driven by just-in-time demand, and a weak willingness to buy.

On the upstream side: the upstream benzene price was stable and slightly stronger, but the cost support for cyclohexane was limited. The cost support was insufficient and the momentum for cyclohexane price increase was insufficient.

Market outlook

Analysts of SunSirs believe that the cyclohexane market may remain stable in the short term and maintain its current trend, while inventory pressure and weak demand may suppress price rebound.
