Overview of the ethylene oxide industry chain

The main downstream polycarboxylate water reducing agent monomer enterprises had low inventory, relatively stable production, and relatively stable demand for ethylene oxide. The rest of the downstream enterprises mainly operated steadily; From the recent upstream and downstream product prices, it can be seen that downstream prices had started to rise, increasing profit margins and strengthening support for the price of raw material ethylene oxide in the short term.

Market outlook

The demand for downstream products of ethylene oxide remained stable, and recently, ethylene oxide had been operating steadily. Jiangsu Silbang device may restart, with limited increment nationwide. The main downstream industries had not undergone significant changes in production, with stable orders being the main focus. It is expected that the price of ethylene oxide will remain weak and stable in the short term.
