Sec-Butyl Acetate Market Weekly Outlook (September 14, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-14

I. Key Focus Points

  1. Last week, the price of raw material glacial acetic acid in East China rose, and the price of post-etherification C4 mix increased significantly, pushing up costs.
  2. The market price of sec-butyl acetate followed the upward trend, but the magnitude of the increase was smaller than that of the raw materials.

Core Logic: Monitor changes in sentiment among upstream and downstream participants.

II. Price Table

Unit: RMB/ton

Product Region Sep 7 Sep 11 Change Rate
Glacial Acetic Acid East China 3363 3690 9.72%
Post-etherification C4 Mix East China 6650 7250 9.02%
Sec-butyl Acetate East China 7150 7650 6.99%
Notes: 1. Prices listed are mainstream negotiation references. 2. Prices are spot cash pickup prices, in RMB/ton. 3. Price change rates are compared to the previous trading day's closing price.

III. Market Outlook

Last week, the market price of sec-butyl acetate trended higher. Cost pressures and crude oil movements drove the market upward. Currently, plant operating rates are low, and available supply is limited. Attention should be paid to end-user demand. Chempricehub Information forecasts that sec-butyl acetate prices may continue to rise in the short term.

Data Item Release Date Previous Period Expected Trend for Current Period
Weekly Operating Rate of Sec-butyl Acetate Thursday 17:00 PM 25.38%
Weekly Output of Sec-butyl Acetate Thursday 17:00 PM 2100
Notes: 1. ↑↓ indicates significant fluctuation, highlighting data dimensions with changes exceeding 3%. 2. ↗↘ indicates narrow-range fluctuation, highlighting data dimensions with changes within 0-3%.

    Sec-butyl acetate lagged behind rising feedstock costs, squeezing margins. With low capacity utilization and limited supply, I expect short-term price resilience despite weak downstream demand.
