IV. Market Outlook

Last week, the domestic isopropanol market trended downward. Although raw material acetone prices rose, prompting significant increases in plant quotations, end-user willingness to purchase high-priced inventory remained weak. Limited follow-through on actual transactions led to pressure on shipments, causing the weighted average of negotiated prices to gradually loosen and retreat from highs, with no notable surge in trading volume. Today, the isopropanol market is expected to maintain range-bound fluctuations. Key focus areas include demand-side developments and trends in the raw materials market.
