4. Price Forecast

The glacial acetic acid market continued its upward trend in certain regions today. Corporate inventories have dropped to extremely low levels, meaning factories currently face no significant sales pressure. However, recent profit-taking by some holders and announced maintenance plans for downstream facilities (such as those producing vinyl acetate) have weakened market sentiment. Chempricehub Information forecasts that glacial acetic acid prices will continue to rise in the short term.

5. Related Product Updates

Ethyl Acetate: Today, ethyl acetate prices adjusted within a narrow range, with moderate trading activity. Main factory auction prices in Shandong remained stable, with low participant engagement; transactions were primarily based on existing contracts. While raw material acetic acid prices still show an upward trend, providing cost support, persistent weak downstream demand has hindered purchasing enthusiasm. Most buyers are adopting a wait-and-see approach, which continues to suppress factory operations. Chempricehub forecasts that ethyl acetate prices will maintain narrow-range adjustments in the short term.

Butyl Acetate: Today, butyl acetate prices rose, with transactions driven mainly by essential demand. Raw material acetic acid prices continued to climb, while n-butanol prices softened slightly. This mixed cost impact influenced market sentiment regarding future trends. Downstream buyers cautiously chased price increases, and shipments across various regions were moderate, keeping factory production and sales balanced. Chempricehub forecasts that butyl acetate prices will remain firm in the short term.
