Morning Market Update for Bisphenol A (BPA)

Published on 2026-10-16

I. Key Points

  1. Bisphenol A (BPA) costs weakened yesterday; monitor raw material market trends this week.
  2. Downstream demand for BPA remained lackluster yesterday, with suppliers facing sluggish shipments and offering slight discounts to facilitate sales.

Core Logic: Weak demand has led to a shift in sentiment among some inventory holders.

II. Price Table

Product Market Unit 2026/10/15 2026/10/14 Change
Phenol East China CNY/t 9475 9675 -200
Acetone Jiangsu CNY/t 8400 8600 -200
Bisphenol A East China CNY/t 11100 11200 -100
Domestic PC Yuyao CNY/t 14300 14350 -50
Epoxy Resin E-51 East China CNY/t 15100 15100 0

Notes:

  1. Prices listed in the table are in Chinese Yuan (CNY), unit: CNY per ton.
  2. All prices are inclusive of tax.
  3. The two price columns represent spot prices on the two previous working days prior to this week, not weekly averages.
  4. "Change" indicates the day-on-day fluctuation.

III. Market Outlook

The spot market atmosphere for Bisphenol A was slightly weak yesterday. Participation from downstream end-users lacked enthusiasm. Weakening cost trends increased market wait-and-see sentiment, leading inventory holders to offer discounts due to poor shipment rates. The market center shifted lower amid insufficient negotiation activity. Chempricehub forecasts that the domestic BPA market will fluctuate within a narrow range today, with attention focused on cost trends and changes in downstream sentiment.

    BPA prices slipped on weak downstream demand and falling phenol/acetone feedstock costs. Suppliers offering discounts signals margin pressure. I expect continued wait-and-see sentiment until shipment rates improve, keepi..
