In 2019, phthalic anhydride market ended in downturn

According to statistics, in 2019, the price of domestic phthalic anhydride dropped significantly. The price at the beginning of the year was 7466.67 yuan / ton, and the price at the end of the year was 6300 yuan / ton. In 2019, the price of phthalic anhydride dropped by 15.63%. The highest price in the whole year appeared at the beginning of the year, and the highest price was 7466.67 yuan / ton. The lowest price in the whole year appeared on June 23, and the lowest price at the end of the year was 5550 yuan / ton, and the maximum amplitude in the year was 34.5%. As can be seen from the trend chart, The price trend of phthalic anhydride is roughly divided into three stages: the first stage is from the beginning of the year to the end of June, during which the price of phthalic anhydride drops sharply; the second stage is from the end of June to the end of September, during which the price of phthalic anhydride rebounds and rises; the third stage is from the end of September to the end of the year, during which the price of phthalic anhydride fluctuates and falls.

 

In the first stage, the price of domestic phthalic anhydride fell sharply, from 7466.67 yuan / ton at the beginning of the year to 5550 yuan / ton in late June, a drop of 25.67%. The domestic phthalic anhydride market fell sharply. The operating rate of the first domestic phthalic anhydride market remained at a high level of about 70%, the downstream factories maintained rigid purchase, the factory inventory pressure continued, the high-end transaction was blocked, the wait-and-see mentality was strong, the operation of domestic phthalic anhydride units was stable, the spot supply of phthalic anhydride in the field was sufficient, the delivery situation was not good, and the price of phthalic anhydride fell continuously. Second, the price of upstream raw material phthalic acid is declining. In addition, the spot supply of phthalic acid is sufficient during this period, and the port inventory has been above 20000 tons. The sharp decline of upstream raw material phthalic acid price has lost the cost support for phthalic acid market, and the market price of phthalic acid has declined. Third, due to the poor demand of downstream plasticizer industry and the poor demand of downstream, the market price of phthalic anhydride is not good, and the affected price of phthalic anhydride market continues to decline.

The second stage is from late June to late September, during which the market price of phthalic anhydride rebounded and rose. The price in late June was 5550 yuan / ton, up to 7200 yuan / ton in late September, up 29.73%. In recent years, the market price of phthalic anhydride in China has increased significantly. Some manufacturers have shut down their equipment in the field, and the operating rate of phthalic anhydride in the field has dropped to about 60%. The spot supply has decreased, and some manufacturers have increased orders. The market reflects no overstocking of inventory, and the commodity market has improved. The market price of phthalic anhydride has increased substantially. In addition, in recent years, the upstream raw material o-benzene market price is rising, the port o-benzene is selling well, the inventory is exhausted, there are many o-benzene field maintenance devices, the spot supply of o-benzene is very tight, and the price of phthalic anhydride is affected by the cost support. Generally, the downstream starts, mainly purchases on demand, and has a strong wait-and-see attitude. The maintenance of domestic phthalic anhydride units has increased, and the delivery of phthalic anhydride in the plant has improved. In the early stage, the phthalic anhydride market manufacturers have been in a loss stage. This round of phthalic anhydride price increase makes manufacturers see hope, resulting in a large increase in the market price of phthalic anhydride.

 

The third stage is from the end of September to the end of the year, when the market price of phthalic anhydride fluctuates and falls. The market price of phthalic anhydride dropped by 12.50% from 7200 yuan / ton at the end of September to 6300 yuan / ton at the end of the year. At this stage, the market price of phthalic anhydride in China fell continuously. The market price of phthalic anhydride in East China continued to decline. The downstream factories maintained rigid purchase, the factory inventory pressure increased, and the high-end transaction was blocked. Recently, the factory inventory increased, and the market price trend of phthalic anhydride declined. In East China, the main flow of negotiation for neighboring process and naphthalene process is 6000-6500 yuan / ton, and 5700-5900 yuan / ton respectively; in North China, the main quotation for phthalic anhydride market is 5900-6200 yuan / ton, most of the manufacturers’ prices in the site are recalled, the downstream construction is not high, the procurement is based on demand, the wait-and-see mentality is strong, the operation of domestic phthalic anhydride plant is stable, the spot supply of phthalic anhydride in the site is sufficient, and the downstream demand of phthalic anhydride is also strong The demand for phthalic anhydride decreased and the price trend of phthalic anhydride continued to decline. In addition, the upstream phthalic acid price continued to decline, the phthalic acid maintenance device continued to restart, the spot supply increased, the lower phthalic acid price lost the cost support for the phthalic acid market, and the phthalic acid price declined. The price of downstream DOP market fluctuates and falls, the downstream demand is normal, the customer’s purchasing enthusiasm is general, the downstream PVC market fluctuates and falls, the high-end DOP transaction is blocked, the mainstream transaction price of DOP market keeps falling, so the market price of phthalic anhydride keeps falling.

 

In general, the domestic phthalic anhydride market in 2019 is not good, with a drop rate of 15.63%. Phthalic anhydride manufacturers reported that phthalic anhydride lost a lot in 2019, with a drop in profits. The price trend of phthalic anhydride upstream in 2019 is as follows:

 

Gamma PGA

It can be seen from the trend chart of upstream phthalic acid that the price trend of phthalic acid is similar to the market price of phthalic anhydride, but in 2019, the impact of NEFA phthalic anhydride on phthalic anhydride is large, the market of phthalic anhydride is sluggish, and the market price of phthalic anhydride is significantly lower.

 

The market price trend of DOP downstream of phthalic anhydride is as follows:

In 2019, the downstream DOP price dropped significantly, with a drop of 14.07% for the whole year. The depression of the downstream industry is a major negative impact on the phthalic anhydride industry, which has affected the market price of phthalic anhydride.

 

In 2019, the demand of phthalic anhydride market is not good, and the market goes down. However, in 2019, phthalic anhydride manufacturers report a lot of losses. It is predicted that the price of domestic phthalic anhydride market will continue to go down substantially in 2020, which is less likely. The plasticizer industry may increase due to the recovery of the real estate market, so the market price of phthalic anhydride may rise in 2020, and the highest price of phthalic anhydride market in 2020 is expected to be in the fourth place In the quarter, the highest price is about 7500 yuan / ton, the lowest price may appear in the second quarter, and the lowest price is about 5800 yuan / ton.

At the end of the month, the liquid ammonia tends to decline in stability, and may remain weak before the end of the year

On the 26th, according to the monitoring of the business agency, the market of liquid ammonia in China fell slightly, with a slight decline in the northern region. On the 26th, the drop of liquid ammonia was 2.56% in the week. On the weekend, most of the manufacturers reported a stable decline, some of which were 50-100 yuan / ton. Some enterprises in Shandong, the main production area, fell for three consecutive days, with a total range of 200-250 yuan / ton. The price in the northwest region remained stable. At present, the local ammonia volume is surplus, especially in Shandong Province The supply of sub manufacturers is relatively loose, and the pressure of enterprise shipment is increasing, but the price of manufacturers with large ammonia volume is mainly stable, and the main quotation in Shandong is 2850-2950 yuan / ton.

 

Gamma PGA food grade

In North China, the liquid ammonia is also slightly lower. The lack of demand leads to the current ammonia storage and price decline. The shipment pressure increases significantly. There are many downstream stoppages. The main quotation in North China is 2800 yuan / ton up and down.

 

The increasing pressure of environmental protection in Hebei region has led to the majority of enterprises limiting production. The shutdown of large downstream enterprises, such as China and Afghanistan, has led to weak demand in the downstream. There are many enterprises accumulating inventory, and the price has not changed significantly. The mainstream quotation in Hebei is 2770-2850 yuan / ton.

Gamma PGA

 

Over the weekend, there was a slight downward trend in Central China, and the delivery pressure in Hubei was obvious. Part of Henan was affected by environmental pressure, and the price gave way to more profits. At present, the liquid ammonia market is full of negative atmosphere, weak operation, and the mainstream quotation in Henan is up and down 2700 yuan / ton.

 

From the perspective of the future market, the business community believes that the current market remains weak, with enterprises mainly reducing their production, most of the units turning to urea production, and the liquid ammonia production controlling the decline, so as to balance the overstock of the manufacturers’ inventory. It is expected that the market will continue to remain weak in the short term, mainly affected by the high ammonia volume in most regions, and the possibility of continuing to explore low is not ruled out.

At the beginning of the month, the average enterprise price is the monthly high price, at 7095 yuan / ton; at the end of the month, the average enterprise price (December 25) is the monthly low price, at 6648 yuan / ton, the monthly drop is 6.31%.

 

On the whole, in 2019, the price of domestic propylene market fluctuated frequently, but the overall situation declined, from the high price at the beginning of the year to the low price at the end of the year. In 2019, the domestic propylene production capacity increased significantly, and the supply side was relatively loose, which had a greater negative impact on the propylene market.

 

Industry chain: upstream, several major events occurred in crude oil in 2019, which affected international crude oil production and had a positive impact on propylene in a certain period of time. On the other hand, the OPEC + meeting at the end of the year delayed the agreement on production reduction and strengthened the impact. After the rise of international crude oil, it began to rise steadily, but with a small range, which also played a role in raising propylene. However, OPEC + has delayed production reduction and the strengthening degree has been heard for a long time, and the good has been digested, so the good for propylene market is limited.

Downstream, the performance of polypropylene market in 2019 is a typical imbalance between supply and demand, with an annual decline of 14.65%. The expansion of capacity growth has reached its highest since 2010. And this capacity expansion is expected to continue until 2021, and PP capacity will be in the stage of rapid expansion for a long time. In addition, the foreign trade of rubber and plastic industry in China is blocked to some extent, and the competition between domestic polymerization plants will be more and more fierce. At the same time, the upstream propylene market is volatile, which has limited support for PP. The follow-up of the growth of the downstream demand side cannot smooth the rapid expansion of domestic production capacity. Therefore, the business club believes that in 2019, PP fundamentals are long and short, and the market is weak and volatile in terms of results. In the next two years, with the release of supply side pressure from new capacity, PP industry may be more difficult.

 

In 2019, acrylic acid rebounded after a downward shock. On January 1, the average price of domestic acrylic acid enterprises was 8550 yuan / ton.

As of December 24, the average price of domestic propylene oxide enterprises was 10300 yuan / ton, with a decline of 7.62% and an annual amplitude of 18.24%. In 2019, the maximum average price of propylene oxide is 11150 yuan / ton, and the minimum average price is 9116.67 yuan / ton. In 2019, the maximum price difference of propylene oxide is 2033.33 yuan / ton.

 

However, due to the tight supply, the market price of epichlorohydrin will fluctuate upward in 2019. As of December 24, the average market price of epichlorohydrin was 13900 yuan / ton. Compared with 10650 yuan / ton quoted at the beginning of the year, the quoted price increased by 3250 yuan / ton, or 30.52%, with an annual amplitude of 86.54%.

 

In 2019, the market of n-butanol was constantly fluctuating, but the overall market price at the end of the first year seemed to be stable, with an annual decline of 2.96% and an annual amplitude of 18.31%.

 

In 2019, octanol prices rose and fell, with an annual decline of 12.71% and an annual amplitude of 16.77%. The future market makers mostly wait and see the trend of DOP.

 

In 2019, the phenol Market is really difficult, with an annual decline of 14.56% and an annual amplitude of 21.02%. Although the demand is general at present, although the port has arrived, it is still in a balance state of about 30000 tons, without a significant increase. In addition, both the import cost and the domestic production cost have reached the critical value, and the market is difficult to go up, but there is limited space for going down. It’s hard to make a big adjustment before the festival.

 

The acetone market in 2019 is very addictive, falling below 3000 and rising to 6000. According to the monitoring data of the business agency, at the beginning of the year, manufacturers in East China made an offer of 3900 yuan / ton, with an overall increase of 41.4% up to 5512 yuan / ton; the lowest price was 2900 yuan / ton on April 5, and the highest price was 5962 yuan / ton on November 27, with a maximum amplitude of 105%.

 

In 2019, the price of isopropanol in the domestic market fluctuated significantly, with an annual decline of 5.75% and an annual amplitude of 58.27%. The supply-demand relationship was greatly adjusted. Compared with 2018, the domestic demand decreased by nearly 120000 tons, but the export volume increased by 95000 tons. Secondly, the strength of environmental protection and security inspection is not reduced, and the downstream operating rate is relatively low. The rise of raw materials is also the main reason for price fluctuations.

 

3、 Future forecast

 

According to the propylene analyst of business and social chemical branch, in general, the propylene production capacity will increase more in 2019, the supply will be more abundant, and the market will fluctuate and decline. The crude oil incident and OPEC + meeting production reduction agreement were delayed and strengthened. The international crude oil was consolidated at a high level, but the news has been digested and absorbed, with limited increase in the later period; the downstream overall support was insufficient, and the profit margin was narrowed. But recently, it is reported that the overhaul of PDH manufacturers in East China and North China may have a slight positive impact on propylene market. And the increase in port arrivals has a certain negative effect. It is expected that the market price of propylene will fluctuate in the near future.
