Based on the Henan region, DBP closed at 10,100–10,100 yuan/ton today, aligning with morning expectations. Today, the price center for domestic DBP moved higher as both raw material prices—naphthalene-based phthalic anhydride and n-butanol—increased. This has intensified cost pressures while strengthening cost-side support. Downstream demand remains rigid, with buyers purchasing on dips but maintaining cautious trading strategies. Meanwhile, overall DBP operating rates are moderate to low, limiting supply and pushing prices upward.

Today, the domestic DBP capacity utilization rate is 39%. The current profitability level for DBP products is approximately 381 yuan/ton.

4. Price Forecast

Currently, high costs persist, providing strong cost-side support. Combined with moderate-to-low market operating rates and limited overall supply, these factors are supporting price increases. The DBP market is expected to trend slightly stronger in a volatile manner going forward.
