Market outlook

According to the acrylic acid analysts of SunSirs, the price of raw material propylene has been raised recently, and the cost support has been slightly strengthened, but the downstream just needs to follow up and the wait-and-see atmosphere is strong. It is expected that in the short term, the acrylic acid market may be weakened, and more attention needs to be paid to market news guidance.
