Product Market Previous Period Current Period Change % Change
DBP Shandong 11350 11350 0 0%
Henan 11100 11100 0 0%
North China 11200 11200 0 0%

Naphthalene-based PA Hebei 10200 10300 100 0.98%

Taking the Henan region as the benchmark, today's DBP price closed at 11,100–11,100 CNY/ton, consistent with morning expectations. Today, domestic DBP market prices remained flat. It is reported that phthalic anhydride (PA) prices continued to rise, while n-butanol prices remained at high levels, strengthening cost support. Meanwhile, downstream users engaged in opportunistic purchasing based on actual demand but operated cautiously. Market inquiries and transactions were moderate. Factory operating rates remained low, limiting production supply.

  1. Production Dynamics

Today, the domestic DBP capacity utilization rate stood at 37%. With upstream raw material prices rising—PA prices increased and n-butanol prices remained high—the current profitability of DBP products is approximately 593 CNY/ton.

  1. Price Forecast

Currently, both raw material markets remain at high levels, providing strong cost support. Downstream users are primarily engaging in opportunistic purchasing based on essential needs, while market inquiries and transaction volumes have weakened. It is expected that the DBP market will continue to consolidate at high levels in the near future.

DOP Market: Today, DOP market prices remained stable. Sellers actively shipped goods, with some offering room for negotiation. However, inquiry activity was insufficient. Downstream users had adequate inventory available, showing little interest in buying at high prices. Overall market trading sentiment was mediocre.

    With DBP operating rates stuck at 37%, I see limited upside despite strong cost support from rising PA and n-butanol feedstock. Downstream demand remains cautious, so margins are likely squeezed rather than expanded. Exp..
