At the beginning of the month, the price of 2-EH remained high, and the supply of 2-EH exceeded the demand. 2-EH manufacturers offered discounts to sell, causing the price of 2-EH to fluctuate and fall; As the Spring Festival approaching, plasticizer manufacturers were stocking up, the price of 2-EH had stopped falling, raw material support had weakened, and DOP prices had fallen. With 2-EH stopping its decline, DOP had some upward support.

Market outlook

SunSirs’ plasticizer product data analysts believe that in January, the raw material 2-EH fluctuated and fell, and the cost support for plasticizer DOP was insufficient, increasing the downward pressure on DOP. In the future, as the Spring Festival approaches and inventory increases, coupled with the rebound in raw material prices, it is expected that DOP prices will slightly increase in the future.
