7 consecutive losses! Chemical raw material price riots! Kain Industrial Additive Platform empowers you and saves you worry!

Recently, the market for organic silicon has taken a sharp turn. The current quotation is around 31,000-32,000 yuan/ton, which is almost halved from the high of 63,000 yuan/ton in early October. The quotations of Liaocheng Xianze Chemical, Shandong Dongyue Chemical, and Shandong Luxi Chemical were around 30,400 yuan/ton, which plummeted by 32,000 yuan/ton in just two months.

Towards the end of the year, the prices of various chemical raw materials suddenly plunged to high levels, and chemical products such as epichlorohydrin, neopentyl glycol, butyl acrylate even experienced “seven consecutive declines” “The spectacular situation caught the paint companies by surprise.

“7 consecutive declines”! More than a dozen chemicals are diving high!

Epichlorohydrin was quoted at 15,833 yuan/ton, falling 7 times in a row, down 3,016 yuan/ton from the previous week, or 16%. The price of raw material propylene is stable and weakening. The cost support is average. The enthusiasm of downstream phthalic anhydride is not high. There is a strong wait-and-see atmosphere. Most of them maintain rigid demand purchases. Enterprise shipments are under pressure. The weak demand side drags down market confidence. The focus of negotiations is lower.

Neopentyl glycol was quoted at 16,283 yuan/ton, falling 7 times in a row, down 2,616 yuan/ton from the previous week, or 13.84%. The market price of the upstream raw material isobutyraldehyde has fallen sharply, and the downstream demand is weak, which has a negative impact on the price of neopentyl glycol.

Butyl acrylate was quoted at 15,050 yuan/ton, falling 7 times in a row, down 1,549 yuan/ton from the previous week, or 9.33%. The raw material acrylic acid fell sharply, the n-butanol market fell due to weakness, and the cost pull was strong. The downstream industry chain as a whole has entered the off-season of demand, with construction starts reduced, demand significantly reduced, and market transaction volume sparse, unable to support the high price of acrylic resin.

Pure benzene was quoted at 6,882 yuan/ton, falling 7 times in a row, down 710 yuan/ton from the previous week, or 7.35%. Crude oil fell sharply, and the market sentiment of pure benzene was frustrated. Downstream styrene continues to fall, demand is average, corporate inventories accumulate, and the center of gravity of pure benzene moves downward.

Phthalic anhydride was quoted at 7,300 yuan/ton, falling 7 times in a row, down 525 yuan/ton from the previous week, or 6.71%. Phthalic anhydride manufacturers are having difficulty receiving orders, and downstream purchases are on demand, and prices continue to fall.

Industrial Additives

Isopropyl alcohol was quoted at 7,575 yuan/ton, falling 7 times in a row, down 366 yuan/ton from the previous week, or 4.61%. The price of raw material propylene has declined, the price of acetone has been weak, and costs have suppressed market mentality. Traders are more cautious in purchasing goods, and most downstream traders are mainly waiting and watching. The overall trading atmosphere in the market is light, and the isopropyl alcohol market quotations have fallen.

Methanol was quoted at 2,605 yuan/ton, falling 7 times in a row, down 289 yuan/ton from the previous week, or 9.99%. Mainland enterprises’ overall shipments are average, and ports are generally in the destocking stage.

Formaldehyde was quoted at 1,386 yuan/ton, falling 7 times in a row, down 150 yuan/ton from the previous week, or 9.77%. Crude oil fluctuated within a narrow range, and methanol cost support weakened. The current operating conditions of downstream plate mills are average, and demand continues to be poor. Traders are cautious in receiving goods and maintain rigid purchases, unable to provide support for formaldehyde.

In addition, chemical products such as isobutyraldehyde, adipic acid, crude benzene, and ethylene oxide have also continued to decline.

The price of isobutyraldehyde has fallen for 6 consecutive years, with a cumulative reduction of 5,000 yuan/ton, a decrease of 31.35%;

Price of chemical raw materials

Demand has dropped sharply, and raw materials are in decline?

To check the market situation and check the quotation, go to the Kain Industrial Additives Platform

Since late October, the prices of various upstream raw materials on the market have declined. This is a sign that prices in the chemical industry have peaked and begun to “go downhill.” This is a signal, and it also means that the chemical industry has entered a dilemma of “weak supply and demand”. The downstream terminals are cautious and mostly focus on consumption of inventory orders, with limited real trading.

Kain is a comprehensive service provider positioned in the field of industrial additives. Through the Internet + supply chain management, it helps buyers and sellers of industrial additive raw materials to connect and build a vertical field. Stationary B2B comprehensive service capabilities. In order to better empower the supply chain, Kain has developed three major digital chemical products, namely “Chemical Quotation Engine”, “Chemical Sample Mall” and “Kain Intelligence App”.

“Chemical Sample Mall” is the industry’s first mini program developed by Kain to help customers solve the pain point of finding samples. It is a one-stop sampling platform that changes the traditional sampling model. It only takes 3 steps from demand generation to sample delivery;

“Chemical Quotation Engine” is a purely automated quotation system. It is based on the analysis of buyer behavior data in the chemical industry from 2012 to 2020 and integrates more than 100,000 chemical buyers. Hand behavior trajectory, backed by 300,000 raw material SKU database, real-time updates of market real price trends;

“Kain Intelligent Purchasing APP” is an intelligent procurement platform for Kain industrial additives. The product categories are very complete. Users can obtain the latest market quotation information in real time in the APP and place orders with one click, which can quickly establish high-quality and stable purchasing channels;

These three major products have created an industrial ecosystem that integrates fine chemical data hub, payment and settlement, professional logistics and warehousing, and fine chemical import and export services to achieve Driven by digitalization of the supply chain.
