III. Market Outlook
Yesterday, the domestic isopropanol market rose significantly. Raw material acetone prices showed a clear upward trend, providing strong cost support for production plants, which actively raised their quotes, driving the market center substantially higher. Most inventory holders remained in a wait-and-see mode; although low-priced supplies were scarce, high-priced offers saw little follow-through. It is expected that the isopropanol market will remain in a stalemate transition today, with attention focused on raw material market trends and demand-side developments.
