Morning Market Briefing for Isopropanol

Published on 2026-10-29

I. Key Focus Points

  1. Yesterday, the negotiated price for acetone in the East China market was 8,825 RMB/ton, up by 50 RMB/ton from the previous day.
  2. Yesterday, Lihua Yi Weiyuan’s external quote for isopropyl alcohol (IPA) was 9,800 RMB/ton.

Core Logic: Monitor feedstock market prices and demand follow-through.

Acetone East China 8,825 8,775 +0.57%
Isopropyl Alcohol East China 9,550 9,600 -0.52%
Notes: 1. Acetone, propylene, and isopropyl alcohol are all National Standard Premium Grade. 2. All listed prices are spot cash ex-works prices, unit: RMB/ton. 3. The two period prices represent point-in-time prices from the previous two working weeks before this week, not weekly averages. 4. The change rate is the period-over-period percentage change.

III. Market Outlook

Yesterday, the domestic isopropyl alcohol (IPA) market declined slightly within a narrow range. Market trading sentiment was average; holders turned bearish, focusing on active selling. Some high-end quotes were lowered, with few actual transactions following suit, resulting in generally flat overall trading volume. It is expected that the IPA market will maintain fluctuation within a range today, with attention focused on feedstock market trends and demand-side developments.
