Price trend

Analysis review

Raw material side:

In early May, the raw material acetic acid maintained a pre holiday fluctuation trend. With the restart of shutdown facilities in early April, the supply of acetic acid in the market gradually recovered. Downstream demand for goods was not strong, and prices continued to decline, weakening support for chloroacetic acid.

In terms of raw material liquid chlorine: Some units of chlor alkali enterprises in the main production area had maintenance plans in May, and the decrease in liquid chlorine production may provide support for chloroacetic acid.

On the demand side:

The traditional cotton textile peak season was coming to an end, and downstream demand had not improved. The price of indigo dye, a downstream product of chloroacetic acid, had not fluctuated significantly and remained stable at around 45,000 RMB/ton.

Market outlook

Supply and demand were weak, and it is expected that the price of chloroacetic acid will fluctuate weakly.
