March 24 — According to customs data, China's dichloromethane imports in February 2026 amounted to 6.635 tons, representing a month-on-month decrease of 67.78% and a year-on-year decline of 28.35%. During the same period, dichloromethane exports totaled 13,156.5 tons, down 38.66% month-on-month and 21.66% year-on-year.

Chempricehub's analysis of dichloromethane assigns a bearish-bullish score of -1.5. Based on the February 2026 customs data, dichloromethane imports were only 6.635 tons, falling 67.78% month-on-month and 28.35% year-on-year, while exports stood at 13,156.5 tons, declining 38.66% month-on-month and 21.66% year-on-year. The significant contraction in both imports and exports indicates markedly weak demand in domestic and international markets, with supply likely remaining relatively ample. This is expected to exert downward pressure on spot prices, as reduced demand may heighten the risk of price declines. The score is set at -1.5, reflecting the substantial decline in import and export volumes, which approaches a major bearish level, though no extreme events are involved.
