Chempricehub Analysis on 1,4-Butanediol, Bull-Bear Score: -1
Shaanxi Black Cat’s 60,000-ton BDO plant, after undergoing maintenance shutdown, is expected to restart in early January 2026. The increase in supply is likely to suppress spot prices. The resumption of production will alleviate tight market supply, but given the single enterprise’s production capacity scale, the impact is generally bearish, potentially leading to a slight decline in spot prices.
