Chempricehub's analysis of maleic anhydride: Bull-bear score: -1. The market is experiencing weak consolidation, with solid maleic anhydride ex-factory prices around 5,000 yuan/ton and liquid maleic anhydride around 4,850 yuan/ton. The incomplete auction in East China indicates weak demand. Although prices in major production areas remain stable, downstream buyers are cautious, reflecting limited supply-side pressure but insufficient demand.
