Recently, Shandong factory octanol Price it mainly fluctuates between 9500-9700 yuan/ton, indicating that the market operating range has narrowed. From the demand side, although the demand for octanol was lost in mid-to-early May due to downstream device maintenance, the overall market showed a slow upward trend. This is mainly due to the successive resumption of DOTP plant installations in Shandong, which has promoted the buying of low positions, thus driving the rebound of the market center of gravity.

china imported 27300 tons of octanol in April, down 7500 tons from March and 21.55 percent from the previous month. Compared with April last year, an increase of 10800 tons, an increase of 65.45. This change shows that with the improvement of China's octanol self-sufficiency rate and price adjustment, the arbitrage window of imported octanol is narrowing and the import pattern is beginning to change. The reduction in imports not only eased the pressure on the domestic octanol supply side, but also provided support for market prices. It is expected that with the new production capacity of octanol in China, the import volume of octanol will continue to show a downward trend.
