Weak downstream demand for methanol exerts downward pressure on prices.

Published on 2026-10-28

Chempricehub, October 28 – Traditional downstream sectors including formaldehyde, acetic acid, and MTBE have shown flat operating rates, with no significant seasonal recovery in demand. The overall operating rate in the formaldehyde industry remains low, limited to essential purchases only, failing to offset the demand reduction caused by large-scale MTO plant shutdowns. This is a key factor suppressing the continued strength of spot prices.
