The price trend of domestic phthalic anhydride market was temporarily stable. As of the 18th, the price of phthalic anhydride was 9150 yuan/ton, unchanged from the price of 9150 yuan/ton at the beginning of the week, with a year-on-year increase of 19.22%.

The phthalic anhydride unit operates stably and the supply of goods is normal

There are two main production processes for phthalic anhydride, one is phthalic anhydride produced by o-benzene method, and the other is phthalic anhydride produced by naphthalene method. Recently, the price of naphthalene phthalic anhydride has risen slightly, and the price difference with neighboring phthalic anhydride has narrowed to about 200 yuan/ton. Affected by this, the price trend of neighboring phthalic anhydride has temporarily stabilized. The supply of phthalic anhydride in the adjacent process is normal, the operation of domestic devices is stable, the domestic phthalic anhydride operating rate remains more than 50%, and the phthalic anhydride price trend in the site is temporarily stable.

The price trend of raw material o-benzene is stable

The price trend of domestic ortho benzene is temporarily stable. By the end of the weekend, the price of ortho benzene was 9000 yuan/ton, which was more stable than that at the beginning of the week. Some units in the plant are still under repair. According to the manufacturer, the supply of raw materials, ortho benzene, is still tight. The price trend of the external market is stable, and the market of ortho benzene is temporarily stable. Affected by this, the market of phthalic anhydride is stable.

Plasticizer market rose slightly

The downstream DOP market price trend of phthalic anhydride has risen. At present, the domestic DOP price is 10100 yuan/ton. The domestic DOP enterprises have started to work steadily. For phthalic anhydride, the purchase is mainly on demand, and the mainstream DOP price is 10000-1200 yuan/ton. The rising downstream market is a positive impact of the phthalic anhydride market, and the phthalic anhydride market trend is stable.

In the future, the price trend of o-xylene is stable in the short term, the demand of downstream plasticizer industry is general, the terminal demand is weak due to frequent outbreaks, and the supply of phthalic anhydride is sufficient. It is expected that the price of phthalic anhydride will decline slightly in the later period.
