Port inventory increased. As a result, due to the low price of the upstream raw material o-xylene, the market price of phthalic anhydride has fallen slightly.

The price of downstream DOP raw materials isooctanol is temporarily stable, the cost of DOP raw materials is fluctuating and falling, DOP enterprises operate at low load, during the anti epidemic period, logistics is limited, transportation is difficult, and DOP manufacturers' inventory is increased. The price of DOP fell, the purchasing enthusiasm of customers was poor, the price of downstream PVC fell, and the equipment of PVC enterprises started at a low level. The main quotation in DOP market is about 7,000-7,500 RMB/ton, a small amount of market plasticizer is traded, and the price of upstream OX fluctuates at a low level. It is expected that the market price of phthalic anhydride will maintain a fluctuating trend in the later stage.
