Analysis of Factors Influencing the Market Situation of n-Butanol

 

On the demand side: Due to the continuous decline of more than 20 days, there is a strong wait-and-see sentiment in the n-butanol market, which has affected the purchasing enthusiasm of downstream markets. Currently, downstream n-butanol is mostly purchased with caution for essential needs, and the demand side has failed to provide effective market support.

 

On the supply side: Currently, the overall supply of n-butanol is relatively stable, with ample on-site supply and some regions facing supply pressure. Recently, the overall capacity utilization rate of n-butanol has decreased compared to the end of July, and the support provided by the supply side to the market is also limited.
