The domestic BDO market has weakened significantly

This week, the domestic BDO market fell significantly, and the market focus continued to decline. The main reason for the decline of the price market is the continuous intensification of the contradiction between supply and demand. Manufacturers and mainstream traders mostly sell goods at a profit. However, demand continues to be light, the operating rate of downstream industries is generally low, the enthusiasm for purchasing raw materials has declined, and the BDO market price has fallen again and again.

Downstream ptme plant – Henan plans to restart another set of PTMEG device in July, but Xiaoxing Jiaxing device has negative expectations in July, and the overall opening is slightly lower; The start-up of PBT industry increased slightly; The demand of gbl-nmp industrial chain has no obvious rise temporarily, and the commencement changes little; The load of downstream TPU and Pu pulp changes little, and small orders are mainly needed; The start-up of PBAT industry fell to 10%, and the production was slow under the cost of new capacity and sales pressure. On the whole, the short-term BDO demand has little change.

 

The supply side inventory is expected to increase, while some major factories in the downstream industry plan to reduce negative production. The imbalance between supply and demand continued, with major production enterprises mainly selling goods at a profit. BDO analysts of business agency predict that the domestic BDO market may still decline.
