ChemPriceHub Important Reminder: Impact of Kumho MDI's Suspension of Trading in South Korea

Published on 2026-02-03

It is understood that Kumho Plant in South Korea has suspended spot sales of liquid MDI to the Chinese market. PriceSeek's analysis of MDI, with a long-short score: +1.5.
Kumho Plant's suspension of spot sales of liquid MDI to the Chinese market indicates a disruption in MDI supply for China. As a bulk commodity, MDI is primarily used in polyurethane production, and a reduction in supply is likely to directly drive up spot prices, given that demand may remain stable or even increase. This event represents a short-term supply shock, which is favorable for the market. However, considering that the suspension may be a temporary measure (such as plant maintenance or strategic adjustments), its impact is expected to be limited. Therefore, a score of +1.5 (moderately positive) is assigned.
