Longzhong 2025-09-25 17:37:06

1. Market Focus This Week

This week, the price of domestic PC materials fluctuated and rebounded while the price of raw material bisphenol A declined, leading to a significant recovery in industry profits.

This week, the operation of 2 sets of PC equipment decreased, resulting in a decline in the overall industry capacity utilization rate compared to last week.

In the fourth quarter, multiple sets of PC devices have maintenance plans, and supply benefits may continue to be released.

2. This week's PC market Market Analysis

During this period (from September 19, 2025, to September 25, 2025, hereinafter the same), the price of domestic PC materials increased. As of the close on September 25, the reference negotiation price of domestic PC materials in the East China market was 9,950-11,300 yuan/ton, which was flat or increased by 50-350 yuan/ton compared to the previous week, with a range of 0.44%-3.30%. This week, domestic PC factories maintained a strong price operation, with ex-factory prices remaining stable or increasing by 100-200 yuan/ton. On Tuesday, Zhe Petrochemical's auction opened flat with three rounds of transactions, holding steady compared to the previous week, and several PC factories announced their maintenance plans for the fourth quarter. In terms of the spot market, at the beginning of the week, the market continued a quiet consolidation pattern. With the release of the maintenance news from a major PC factory in Shandong, coupled with the atmosphere of PC price bottoming out, the spot prices of domestic materials fluctuated upwards. The price increase in the East China market was more noticeable. However, before the double holiday, downstream PC demand was limited, and overall spot trading volume remained stable. Market participants were cautious and observant, and after moderately raising quotations, they mainly followed the market for sales. During the week, the increase in PC spot prices was mostly between 100-200 yuan/ton.

Market Forecast for Next Week

The reduction in supply is the main positive factor, and next week the domestic PC market is expected to maintain a relatively strong oscillation pattern, with the price of domestic materials likely to continue rising.Focus points: 1. Supply side. In the short term, Lihuayi Weiyuan's PC unit is scheduled for maintenance after the National Day holiday, one production line of Zhejiang Petrochemical's PC unit will be shut down for maintenance starting mid-month, and Hainan Huasheng's PC unit is maintaining low-load operation. The reduction in supply of mid-to-low-end materials is quite evident, thus providing strong support for the low-end prices of PC. 2. Demand side. The situation with terminal orders is not favorable, and before the double holiday, most downstream buyers did not significantly stock up, leading to a relatively stable overall market trading rhythm. Post-holiday purchasing situations need to be followed up, as they are unlikely to be the main drivers of the market. 3. Cost side. Next week, Bisphenol A is expected to see price declines due to its own supply-demand pressure. However, its recent trend has somewhat diverged from that of PC, reducing the cost side's influence on PC's trend.
