Sharp rise in raw material prices tightens profit margins for stearic acid.

Published on 2026-08-21

Lead: During this period, the stearic acid plant has been operating stably at a relatively low utilization rate, while import arrivals have been slow. Market supply has appeared slightly tight, driving prices up consecutively. Combined with the uptrend in palm oil prices, the cost of stearic acid has been gradually climbing with an expanding pace of increases, while profit margins have shown a tightening trend.

    The palm oil feedstock cost keeps climbing, and with capacity utilization low, stearic acid margins are getting squeezed despite firmer prices. Downstream demand may stay cautious.
