In May, the domestic cyclohexanone market was running at a high level. According to the monitoring data of business agency, the average market price of domestic cyclohexanone at the beginning of the month was 11200 yuan / ton, and the average market price of domestic cyclohexanone at the end of the month was 11710 yuan / ton, an increase of 4.55% in the month and 10.06% year-on-year.
In May, the cyclohexanone market continued to be on the high side, and the high level of raw material pure benzene supported the whole industry chain. In terms of supply, the operating rate of production enterprises was low, and the supply was slightly tight, adding positive factors. At the same time, the downstream continued to recover, the basic demand began to expand, and the cyclohexanone market was relatively strong in the whole may.

At the beginning of the month, the domestic cyclohexanone was stronger and higher, the cost pressure increased, and the downstream chemical fiber was purchased cautiously at a high price. Due to the low volume of cyclohexanone, the market supply was stable and there was no pressure, and the cyclohexanone manufacturers followed the raw materials.
In the first ten days of January, the domestic cyclohexanone market was at a high level. The raw material pure benzene rose at a high level. Sinopec pure benzene was listed for three times and increased by 350 yuan / ton to 9300 yuan / ton. The cost rose strongly, and the cost pressure of cyclohexanone increased. Downstream caprolactam rose passively, but the overall load was low and at a loss. The enthusiasm for outsourcing was weak, and the delivery of cyclohexanone was not smooth. Under the cost pressure, the market maintained a firm operation.
In the middle of May, the domestic cyclohexanone market continued to be weak. The raw material pure benzene fluctuates at a high level, and the pressure on the cost side remains unabated. The downstream chemical fiber market was stable and rising. Sinopec caprolactam was listed and raised by 200 yuan / ton, but the purchase enthusiasm was general. In addition, the transportation was limited, the shipment of cyclohexanone was blocked, some enterprises stopped to reduce production, the overall supply and demand of cyclohexanone was weak, and the market was in a stalemate and consolidation.
In late June, the domestic cyclohexanone market was on the lookout for consolidation. The raw material pure benzene fluctuated at a high level, the cost pressure remained unabated, and the downstream chemical fiber market was relatively strong. However, due to poor demand and profit, the enthusiasm for outsourcing was general, the delivery of cyclohexanone was not smooth, the market was sideways consolidated, and the transaction atmosphere was the same.

Summary of domestic cyclohexanone market as of May 30:
region ., price
East China, 11900-12000 yuan / ton cash delivery
South China ., 12000-12100 yuan / ton cash delivery
Shandong region, 11700-11800 yuan / ton cash delivery
Raw material pure benzene: the price of pure benzene in East China rose, while the market price in Shandong fell. The spot transaction in East China was 9150-9500 yuan / ton, and that in Shandong was 8680-9000 yuan / ton. The main driving force for the rise in East China was the strong air pressure at the end of the month, while Shandong fell back due to the decline in downstream demand, and the price difference between East China and Shandong continued to widen.

Downstream caprolactam: the caprolactam market has been slightly explored. At present, the cost and supply side still form a support. The price of East China pure benzene in the upstream is basically maintained at around 9300 yuan / ton. With the shutdown and maintenance of Lunan Chemical, the supply of caprolactam is further reduced, and the seller’s price is firm.
Comparison chart of price trend of cyclohexanone and caprolactam (downstream products) in business community:
According to the price monitoring of the trading society, in April 2022, 41 commodities in the chemical industry sector rose month on month in the list of bulk commodity prices, of which 9 commodities increased by more than 5%, accounting for 8.2% of the monitored commodities in the sector; The top 3 commodities were formic acid (36.15%), caustic soda (13.35%) and flake soda (9.32%). A total of 66 commodities fell month on month, and 29 commodities fell by more than 5%, accounting for 26.4% of the monitored commodities in this sector; The products with the top three declines were propylene glycol (-20.05%), acetic acid (-18.39%) and glycine (-16.77%). The average increase or decrease in this month was -1.87%.
The raw material pure benzene is at a high level, the pressure on the cost side is not reduced, the downstream chemical fiber follows up on demand, and the supply of cyclohexanone is stable. The cyclohexanone analysts of the business society predict that the short-term cyclohexanone market will still operate stably.
