III. Market Outlook
Yesterday, the domestic isopropanol market maintained range-bound fluctuations. Raw material acetone prices weakened, leading most market participants to adopt a wait-and-see approach. Terminal demand remained sluggish with no significant improvement, resulting in limited trading volume at higher price levels. Transaction centers shifted toward lower price ranges, and actual trade volumes were insufficient. Today, the isopropanol market is expected to continue its weak consolidation trend as participants monitor raw material market movements and demand-side developments.
