Future expectations

 

Business Society plasticizer product data analysts believe that during the Spring Festival, plasticizer manufacturers have seen a decrease in production, but after the holiday, plasticizer production has resumed, and the supply of plasticizers has increased. In addition, the price of isooctanol has risen, leading to an increase in the cost of plasticizer DOP. In the future, as the cost of plasticizers increases and the supply increases, there is still limited support from the rise in DOP and downward pressure. It is expected that DOP prices will remain weak and consolidate in the future.
