Post holiday price increase of isooctanol

During the Spring Festival, the operating load of isooctanol enterprises decreased, but there was some recovery after the holiday. In addition, downstream customers restocked, and the demand for isooctanol slowly rebounded. During the Spring Festival, the price of isooctanol remained high, and after the holiday, the price of isooctanol slightly increased.

 

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 DOTP. In the future, as the cost of plasticizers increases and the supply increases, there is still limited support for the rise of DOTP and downward pressure. It is expected that DOTP prices will remain weak and consolidate in the future.
