The downstream demand performance was average, and users were cautious in following up on new orders, mainly restocking at low prices. Demand transmission was poor, and n-butanol factories offered discounts for shipments, revealing a supply-demand contradiction.

As of April 16th, the trading atmosphere in the n-butanol market was light, with insufficient effective support and a strong wait-and-see attitude. Industry players had a poor mentality, and downstream traders were cautious in restocking at low prices.
