Chempricehub Key Reminder: Ethylene Production Growth Increases Supply Pressure
Published on 2026-02-09
February 9th News — According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in December 2025, China's ethylene output reached 3.563 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.0%. From January to December, the cumulative ethylene output in China was 41.508 million tons, representing a year-on-year growth of 6.4%. Chempricehub's analysis of ethylene indicates a bearish score of -1.5. The data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows a 6.4% year-on-year increase in ethylene production in 2025, indicating a significant rise in supply. This may lead to an oversupply in the spot market, putting downward pressure on prices. The score of -1.5 reflects a generally bearish impact, as although the growth rate is not extreme, its sustained nature could suppress short-term price rebounds.
