But with the recovery of the economy and the support of demand for plasticizers, the price of plasticizer DOP stabilized after falling.

 

Downstream demand is expected to rebound

 

With favorable policies and rising macroeconomic sentiment, coupled with the peak demand season for downstream plastics such as agricultural film, the downstream market is recovering, and the demand for plasticizers in the market is expected to increase.

 

Raw material costs stabilize after falling

Future expectations

 

According to the data analyst of Shengyi Society’s plasticizer products, in terms of cost, the price of isooctanol has stopped falling and stabilized, the price of phthalic anhydride has fluctuated and fallen, and the cost of plasticizer DOP has stabilized after falling; In terms of demand, favorable policies have led to an increase in downstream market demand, and expectations for the demand side of the plasticizer market have risen. In the future, raw material prices will decline, plasticizer costs will decrease, and plasticizer DOP prices will decrease; Positive policies have led to an expected increase in demand for plasticizer DOP in the market, an increase in operating load for plasticizer manufacturers, an increase in DOP supply, and a dual increase in supply and demand. The supply and demand in the plasticizer market are relatively balanced, and it is expected that the price of plasticizer DOP will fluctuate and consolidate in the future.
