Epoxy Resin Market Morning Brief (September 15, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-15

I. Key Focus Points

  1. Crude Oil Supply Disruption: Saudi crude oil pipeline transport has been interrupted, with Houthi forces continuing to exert pressure, exacerbating supply risks and driving up international oil prices. ICE Brent November futures closed at $105.68/barrel, up $1.07/barrel, a week-on-week increase of +1.02%.
  2. Raw Material Costs Rising: The price of Bisphenol A (BPA) continues to rise, maintaining a favorable trend for epoxy resin cost support.
  3. Demand Dynamics: Demand is driven by rigid needs, causing the epoxy resin market to follow the upward movement of raw materials.

Core Logic: Raw material prices continue to rise, intensifying cost pressures on epoxy resin producers. The industry faces severe losses, leading to clear intentions among factories to raise prices. However, downstream demand follow-through is insufficient, resulting in a sluggish trading atmosphere in the epoxy resin market.

III. Market Outlook

On the cost side, BPA supply remains tight, retaining upward momentum. The epoxy resin market is suffering from significant losses, prompting factories to continue raising their offer prices. However, most market activity involves fulfilling existing orders, with a lack of new transactions. It is expected that costs will consolidate at high levels today. Epoxy resin prices, dominated by raw material trends, will likely remain stable temporarily. Demand will continue to be characterized by rigid needs, suggesting the market center may trend steadily with a slight bullish bias.

    Crude oil and BPA feedstock costs are squeezing margins, forcing price hikes despite weak downstream demand. Capacity utilization may dip if rigid needs can't absorb higher prices. I expect a slight bullish bias but watc..
