Overview of the ethylene oxide industry chain

 

The main downstream polycarboxylate water reducing agent monomer enterprises have low inventory, relatively stable production, and relatively stable demand for ethylene oxide. The rest of the downstream enterprises mainly operate steadily; From the recent upstream and downstream product prices, it can be seen that downstream prices have started to rise, increasing profit margins and strengthening support for the price of raw material ethylene oxide in the short term.

 

Short term supply may slightly increase, but prices are unlikely to improve in January

 

The demand for downstream products of ethylene oxide remains stable, and recently, ethylene oxide has been operating steadily. Jiangsu Silbang device may restart, with limited increment nationwide. The main downstream industries have not undergone significant changes in production, with stable orders being the main focus. It is expected that the price of ethylene oxide will remain weak and stable in the short term.
