April 28 News

On April 28, the maleic anhydride market in Shandong region showed an upward trend. The ex-factory price for solid maleic anhydride ranged from 6,500 to 7,200 RMB/ton, while the ex-factory price for liquid maleic anhydride was around 6,900 RMB/ton. Plant execution prices increased by 200 RMB/ton.

In Chempricehub’s assessment of maleic anhydride, the bull/bear score stands at +1. The upward movement in the Shandong region, with ex-factory prices for solid and liquid grades rising to 6,500–7,200 RMB/ton and 6,900 RMB/ton respectively, and a plant-level price hike of 200 RMB/ton, indicates either cost-push from the supply side or stronger demand, supporting spot prices. The rating is moderately positive (+1) given the notable price increase, though it remains confined to the regional market and does not reflect any nationwide major supply-demand shifts.
