Introduction: As the polyimide (PI) film market is in its traditional off-season, procurement of raw materials such as PMDA remains limited to rigid demand, keeping market prices at low levels. Weighed down by this, the market price of pyromellitic anhydride has been adjusting narrowly at a low level around CNY 24,000/ton. However, with the growing bullish sentiment in the durene market, the market price of pyromellitic anhydride may see expectations of a rebound.
