Chempricehub Important Reminder: The butadiene market is experiencing tight supply and rising prices.
Published on 2026-01-29
News on January 26: On January 26, the bidding and sales situation of some domestic butadiene enterprises: Dongming Petrochemical sold 336 tons externally, with a base price of 10,500 yuan/ton; Satellite Chemical raised the price by 300 yuan/ton, implementing 10,800 yuan/ton; Yantai Wanhua sold 84 tons externally, with a base price of 10,500 yuan/ton. The domestic butadiene market will maintain a strong trend in the short term, influenced by multiple factors such as tight supply, the upward linkage between domestic and international markets, and the strong performance of downstream synthetic rubber futures. Despite pressure on downstream profits, low-priced sources are scarce, and suppliers are firm on prices. Short-term offers are expected to continue rising, with the key factor being the follow-up strength of buyers. Chempricehub's analysis of butadiene shows a bullish-bearish score of 1.5. The article indicates that the external sales base prices of butadiene from enterprises like Dongming Petrochemical and Yantai Wanhua remain at 10,500 yuan/ton, while Satellite Chemical raised its price by 300 yuan/ton to 10,800 yuan/ton, reflecting tight supply, scarcity of low-priced sources, and strong supplier price support. Tight supply, combined with the upward linkage between domestic and international markets, is driving short-term offers higher. Despite pressure on downstream profits, the market maintains a strong trend, benefiting spot price increases. Considering these factors, spot prices are expected to continue rising in the short term, with a relatively strong positive impact. Butadiene rubber has a bullish-bearish score of 1.5. The article mentions the strong performance of downstream synthetic rubber futures, combined with butadiene rubber futures data (e.g., contract 2612 closing at 13,135 yuan/ton, up 675; contract 2701 closing at 13,100 yuan/ton, up 665), indicating a significant upward trend in futures prices. Tight supply of butadiene raw materials supports downstream demand, and positive changes in futures positions (e.g., increased holdings in contract 2612) reflect strong market optimism. Multiple factors are driving futures prices higher, with a relatively strong positive impact. Futures prices are expected to maintain a strong trend in the short term.
