3. Data Table

4. Market Outlook

Last week, the prices of domestic PC materials mostly hit historically low levels, failing to effectively boost buyer sentiment. The operating rates of domestic PC production equipment remained mostly stable, with industry capacity utilization staying at a high level. Additionally, the continuous decline in raw material bisphenol A has eased cost pressures on PC production overall, making it difficult for factories to actively reduce output in the short term. Moreover, downstream rigid demand continues to show bearish signals. Overall, it is expected that the domestic PC market will continue its weak and volatile pattern. Attention should be paid to the pricing adjustments of major factories at the beginning of the week.
