Cyclohexanone prices are expected to fluctuate weakly in the short term, with significant regional differentiation. Prices in major producing areas such as Shandong and Zhejiang are close to the cost line, and some companies are quoting prices below the national average, reflecting oversupply pressure.
Cyclohexanone plants that underwent maintenance are gradually resuming production, coupled with new capacity coming online, leading to an increasing market supply. Regarding inventory, inventory pressure is gradually emerging in major producing areas, and some companies are adopting price reduction and promotion strategies to alleviate inventory pressure, further suppressing market prices.
On the demand side, downstream industries for cyclohexanone are sluggish, with purchases mainly driven by immediate needs. Market trading is quiet and unable to provide effective support.
Affected by the deepening supply-demand imbalance and weak costs, cyclohexanone market prices may continue to decline. Traders are more willing to sell, while downstream buyers are cautious. Market trading is mainly driven by immediate needs, lacking the momentum for a rebound.
