Dongying Yimeide Chemical's factory price for DOP has risen by 350 yuan per ton to 7,200 yuan per ton, an increase of approximately 5.1%. This indicates that the producer has proactively raised prices, likely driven by rising costs of raw materials such as phthalic anhydride or increased downstream demand.
