Market outlook

According to the acetic anhydride data analysts of SunSirs, although the sales of acetic anhydride remained poor, the upstream methanol and acetic acid prices soared, the cost of acetic anhydride raw materials continued to rise, and the price of acetic anhydride was close to the cost line. The lower profits of manufacturers were bound to transmit to the downstream, and the upward momentum of acetic anhydride prices increased. It is expected that the price of acetic anhydride will rise sharply in the future.
