As of July 20th, the mainstream market price in Shandong region was 1,100-1,200 RMB/ton. This week, the price of raw material methanol rose, with strong cost support. Formaldehyde was mainly driven by cost increases, and manufacturers led the market to rise.

Upstream methanol situation: The domestic methanol market was fluctuating and rising, with the resumption of multiple production units in the northwest region delayed, supply growth was less than expected, and a combination of multiple positive factors such as good macro perspective. The market mentality was rapidly improving, and prices were driving up. Large MTOs in Zhejiang were actively inquiring about US dollar supply, and market demand was expected to improve. The atmosphere was boosted, and the domestic methanol market atmosphere had significantly increased, and prices continued to rise.

Recently, the methanol market rose and cost support was good. However, poor demand from downstream panel factories had limited the increase in formaldehyde. Therefore, formaldehyde analysts from SunSirs predict that the formaldehyde prices in Shandong will mainly fluctuate and rise in the near future.
