Based on the Henan region as the benchmark, today’s DBP price closed at 10,400–10,400 RMB/ton, consistent with morning expectations. Today, domestic DBP market prices continued to decline, with high-end prices gradually disappearing and a strong wait-and-see atmosphere prevailing in the market. It is reported that both raw materials, Phthalic Anhydride (PA) and n-Butanol, have declined consecutively, leading to a significant drop in costs and weakening price support. Downstream buyers are making opportunistic purchases based on genuine demand but remain cautious in their operations. Market inquiries and transactions are sluggish.
Today, the domestic DBP capacity utilization rate stood at 40%. With declining prices for raw materials PA and n-Butanol, the current profitability level for DBP products is approximately 1,272 RMB/ton.
Currently, prices of both key raw materials are expected to continue falling, further reducing cost-side support. Downstream purchasing remains driven by genuine demand at lower price points, while market inquiries and transactions are slowing. The DBP market is expected to trend weakly with volatility in the near future.
DOP Market: Today, prices for raw materials Octanol and PA declined, causing DOP market prices to continue falling. Transactions are primarily negotiated deals, and overall market sentiment remains weak. Trading volume consists mainly of small orders driven by genuine end-user demand, while terminal users maintain a wait-and-see attitude regarding purchases.
