Market outlook
The acrylic acid analyst of SunSirs believes that the current cost support is limited, and some equipment on the supply side is overhauled, but the downstream buying enthusiasm is not high, and the market sentiment is running lightly. It is expected that in the short term, the acrylic acid market may be in a stalemate, and more attention should be paid to market news changes.
