Factors affecting the market
Supply and demand: At present, the overall favorable support for the cyclohexanone market is insufficient. On the demand side, the downstream demand for cyclohexanone is poor, new orders are cautious, and demand transmission is blocked. On the supply side, dragged by the demand side, the overall market supply is under pressure, cyclohexanone factories and suppliers are making concessions for shipments, and the contradiction between supply and demand in the market is exposed.
Cost: Recently, the market price of pure benzene on the raw material side has fluctuated in a low range, which has loosened the cost support for cyclohexanone. As of April 16, the reference price of pure benzene has dropped by 3.82% compared with April 1.
At present, the overall inquiry atmosphere in Shandong cyclohexanone market is relatively light, downstream new orders are followed up cautiously, and industry players have limited confidence. The cyclohexanone data analyst of Sino-Trade believes that in the short term, the domestic Shandong region’s cyclohexanone market will be dominated by weak consolidation, and more attention needs to be paid to changes in supply and demand news.
