Weekly Outlook for the Formaldehyde Market

I. Key Focus Areas

1. Monitor methanol price trends as raw material guidance.
2. Observe operating rates of downstream panel manufacturers.
3. Track inventory levels at production facilities.

Core Logic: Raw material methanol prices have softened, leading to lower costs. Formaldehyde supply remains ample, while mainstream downstream panel operations are flat, resulting in moderate demand support. Other downstream sectors primarily consume for internal use, meaning the demand side remains a critical factor.
