Market outlook

SunSirs’ propylene oxide analyst believes that the supply of propylene oxide is loose, the downstream trading atmosphere is average, and on-demand procurement is the main focus, with insufficient support from the demand side. It is expected that the propylene oxide market will continue its weak and stable trend in the later stage, and more attention should be paid to changes in raw material prices and downstream supply and demand.
