Prices of Various Chemical Raw Materials Rise Again!
Driven by geopolitical conflicts, the market for chemical solvents and resin raw materials has recently exhibited distinct trends: structural price increases and a widespread suspension of price quotations by enterprises.
Incomplete data indicates that this wave of market hesitation and quotation suspension involves over 80 chemical companies and more than 40 categories of chemical products, spanning the entire industry chain—from basic raw materials and fine chemicals to energy, inorganic chemicals, and new materials. Currently, prices for mainstream solvents such as cyclohexanone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and ethylene glycol butyl ether continue to climb, while market trading activity steadily intensifies. Meanwhile, a large number of domestic chemical enterprises are taking concerted measures—including reducing plant operating rates, shutting down for maintenance, suspending quotations, and restricting supply volumes exclusively to core clients. For the vast majority of products where quotations have been suspended, transactions are handled on a case-by-case basis. A strong wait-and-see sentiment prevails across the industry, and the volume of spot goods in circulation continues to tighten, creating a unique market landscape characterized by rising raw material costs, supply volume controls, and suspended market quotations.
