Published on 2026-10-10

I. Key Points

  1. Yesterday, the negotiation price for acetone in the East China market was RMB 8,650/ton, an increase of RMB 125/ton compared to the previous day.
  2. Yesterday, Lihua Yiweiyuan’s external quote for isopropanol (IPA) was RMB 9,300/ton.

Core Logic: Monitor raw material price movements and downstream demand follow-through.

Acetone East China 8,650 8,525 +1.47%
Isopropanol East China 9,200 8,950 +2.79%

The two-period prices represent point-in-time prices from the last two working weeks prior to this week, not weekly averages. 4. The change rate indicates the period-over-period percentage change.

III. Market Outlook

Yesterday, the domestic isopropanol market experienced a slight upward trend. Rising raw material costs provided support for production facilities, leading to modest increases in quoted prices. Inventory holders maintained a positive sentiment with limited willingness to sell at lower prices, causing the transaction center to shift slightly upward. Downstream buyers continued with rigid demand procurement, resulting in moderate market activity. It is expected that the isopropanol market will remain within a consolidation range today, with participants watching raw material trends and downstream demand developments.
