The report notes that on January 29, the price of acetic acid in Jiangsu region decreased by 10 yuan/ton to around 2,550 yuan/ton. This decline was mainly due to a slight increase in capacity utilization, rising enterprise inventories, and downstream demand being limited to rigid needs, resulting in a weakening market trading atmosphere and a loosening supply-demand relationship. This indicates growing pressure on spot supply and insufficient demand support, with acetic acid prices expected to continue facing downward pressure in the short term, maintaining a weak trend.
