Analysis review

From a cost perspective: Due to the approaching Spring Festival and limited transportation vehicles, the transportation cost of raw material methanol was high. Methanol factories offered discounts for shipments, and downstream enterprises had poor procurement, resulting in a decline in the mainland market; The increase in port inventory and the expected decrease in imports have been realized, leading to a decline in the market.

On the demand side, the terminal factory's entry into the market was based on demand, and the demand follow-up was relatively stable. The overall shipment of formic acid in the market was still acceptable.

Market outlook

The data analyst of SunSirs believes that there was a strong wait-and-see atmosphere in the market, and the cost fluctuations were not significant. It is expected that the formic acid market will remain stable with small fluctuations in the short term, and the specific market situation still needs to be monitored based on downstream demand.
