Market outlook
The maleic anhydride products analyst of SunSirs believes that the main factories of maleic anhydride have recently implemented price reductions, and market operations were cautious, resulting in limited transactions; The downstream unsaturated resin market was weak, and there was limited procurement of maleic anhydride. It is expected that the maleic anhydride market will mainly consolidate at a low level in the near future.
