ChemPriceHub Alert: Impact of Kumho MDI Plant Maintenance in South Korea

Published on 2026-02-04

According to reports, Kumho's MDI unit in South Korea (with an annual capacity of 200,000 tons) is scheduled to undergo routine maintenance starting in early April, lasting approximately one month. PriceSeek's analysis of MDI indicates a bullish-bearish score of 1. Kumho's MDI unit, with an annual capacity of 200,000 tons, is set to undergo a one-month routine maintenance starting in early April, which is expected to reduce supply by approximately 16,700 tons (based on annual capacity). This will lead to tight supply in the MDI spot market and drive up prices, as demand remains relatively stable. Although the maintenance is a planned event, the short-term supply disruption still constitutes a bullish factor, supporting the rise in spot prices.
