Bisphenol A (BPA) Market Morning Briefing (September 18, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-18

I. Key Points

  1. BPA costs rose yesterday; monitor raw material market trends this week.
  2. The BPA market saw a narrow increase yesterday, with tight supply and moderate demand follow-through.

Core Logic: Spot circulation of BPA is tight, and holders are maintaining firm prices.

II. Price Table

Product Market Unit (CNY/ton) 2026/9/17 2026/9/16 Change
Phenol East China CNY/ton 9325 9050 275
Acetone Jiangsu CNY/ton 8700 8725 -25
Bisphenol A (BPA) East China CNY/ton 11200 11100 100
PC (Domestic) Yuyao CNY/ton 14450 14500 -50
Epoxy Resin E-51 East China CNY/ton 15800 15650 150
Notes: 1. Prices in the table are in RMB, unit: CNY/ton. 2. All RMB prices listed above include tax. 3. The two price periods refer to spot prices on the two previous working days before this week, not weekly averages. 4. Changes represent period-over-period fluctuations.

III. Market Outlook

Yesterday, the weighted average price in the BPA spot market rose slightly. Supply remained tight, and holders maintained strong confidence and an intention to keep prices firm. Downstream demand followed suit based on essential needs, making low-priced offers scarce, which pushed the transaction price center up modestly. Chempricehub anticipates that today's BPA market will remain firm, while monitoring changes in downstream sentiment.
