Chempricehub analysis of diethylene glycol, with a long-short score of 1.5:
In February 2026, diethylene glycol imports decreased significantly by 39.15% month-on-month, indicating a notable tightening in supply. Coupled with a relatively low average import price of $366.37 per ton, this suggests reduced supply pressure in the domestic market, which is favorable for spot price increases. Although exports declined by 28.89%, the scale remained small (3,200 tons), exerting limited impact on overall supply and demand. The cumulative import growth of 13.2% reflects steady long-term demand, but short-term data predominantly drive positive sentiment, supporting an upward price trend.
