According to the commodity analysis system of Shengyi Society, the hydrogen peroxide market has slightly risen and fluctuated upwards since mid July. On July 18th, the average market price of hydrogen peroxide was 696 yuan/ton, and on July 23rd, the average market price of hydrogen peroxide was 700 yuan/ton, with a price increase of 0.96%.
Lido supports slight increase in hydrogen peroxide market
Since mid July, there has been an increase in terminal demand in the printing and papermaking industries. Some manufacturers of hydrogen peroxide have stopped for maintenance, resulting in a decrease in supply pressure and a combination of positive factors. The hydrogen peroxide market has heated up, and the average price in the domestic market has risen to around 700 yuan/ton, with a price increase of about 10 yuan/ton. Market transactions have improved and the market is rising.
Business Society’s hydrogen peroxide analyst believes that at the end of July, with the support of demand in the terminal printing and papermaking industry, the pressure on hydrogen peroxide supply has declined, and there is still room for upward growth in the future market.

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, since July, the bearish trend has dominated and the domestic adipic acid market has continued to decline. On July 1st, the average market price of adipic acid was 7366 yuan/ton. On July 22nd, the average market price of adipic acid in China was 7066 yuan/ton, a decrease of 4.07%.
Negative factors dominate the steady decline of domestic adipic acid market
At the beginning of July, the prices of pure benzene and cyclohexanone raw materials for adipic acid fell weakly, and the demand for terminal plastics industry was sluggish, resulting in an overall decline in prices for adipic acid manufacturers. The domestic adipic acid market has average transactions and a weak market. As of July 11th, the average market price of adipic acid has fallen to around 7133 yuan/ton, with an overall decline of over 3%.
Starting from mid month, the downward trend of adipic acid market slowed down, with prices slightly decreasing. From the 11th to the 22nd, the market price of adipic acid fell to around 7000 yuan/ton, a decrease of nearly 1%.
An analyst from Shengyi Society believes that at the end of July, the rigid demand in the terminal industry was poor, and the boosting effect of the raw material market was limited. Therefore, the adipic acid market will continue to operate weakly in the future.

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, as of July 21, 2025, the reference price of n-butanol in Shandong Province, China is 6083 yuan/ton. Compared with July 15 (reference price of n-butanol is 6116 yuan/ton), the price has decreased by 33 yuan/ton, a decrease of 0.27%.
From the commodity market analysis system of Shengyi Society, it can be seen that recently, the overall market situation of n-butanol in Shandong Province in China has shown a slight downward trend with fluctuations. In early July, the center of gravity of the n-butanol market continued to decline. Entering the late stage, the downward trend of n-butanol gradually came to an end, and some factories in Shandong adjusted the price of n-butanol within a narrow range, with an adjustment of about 50 yuan/ton. As of July 21st, the reference price for n-butanol market in Shandong region is around 6050-6100 yuan/ton.
Fundamental information
On the supply side: Currently, there is little change in the production of n-butanol supply, and the spot supply of n-butanol is relatively sufficient. Some factories are under pressure to supply, and they are actively shipping. The focus of market negotiations is on the low-end.
In terms of demand: Currently, downstream demand for n-butanol is relatively cautious, with demand mainly focused on stocking up at low prices and purchasing for essential needs, and demand transmission is average.
Market analysis in the future
At present, the trading atmosphere of n-butanol in the market is relatively light, with a strong wait-and-see sentiment and mainly low-priced inquiries and transactions. The n-butanol data analyst from Shengyi Society predicts that in the short term, the domestic n-butanol market will mainly operate weakly and consolidate, and specific changes in supply and demand information need to be closely monitored.

According to the price data from Shengyi Society, the price of polyester bottle flakes (PET) first stabilized and then increased this week, rising from 5985 yuan/ton at the beginning of the week to 6035 yuan/ton, with a weekly increase of 0.84%.
On the 18th, crude oil and polyester raw materials rose, driving a slight increase in the price of polyester bottle chips. The cost support for PET was strengthened, and coupled with the tight circulation of local spot goods, the PET market price rose accordingly.
In July, major polyester bottle chip manufacturers implemented production cuts, with multiple companies planning to reduce production by approximately 2.56 million tons. The expectation of reduced production on the supply side has tightened market liquidity, which has a certain supporting effect on prices and is one of the factors driving price increases in the later stage. Although July to September is the peak season for soft drink consumption, downstream beverage factories usually stock up in advance. However, from the actual situation, the demand side performance is relatively flat and has not formed strong support for prices. On the 18th, although the market rose due to rising costs, insufficient demand limited the increase. Downstream wait-and-see is the main trend, and traders and end-users have a low willingness to replenish. Transactions are mainly based on small orders for essential needs, and the acceptance of high priced goods is limited.
Overall, Shengyi Society believes that the narrow adjustment of PET market prices in the short term is mainly influenced by raw material prices. The actual trend still needs to pay attention to changes in external news, device changes, and demand recovery in the future.

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, the price of lithium carbonate has shown a continuous upward trend recently. As of July 15th, the benchmark price of domestic battery grade lithium carbonate was 63733 yuan/ton, an increase of 1.81% within 7 days and a month on month increase of 5%; The benchmark price of domestic industrial grade lithium carbonate trading company is 62566 yuan/ton, up 2.68% within 7 days and up 6.05% month on month.
‘Anti involution’ alleviates supply side pressure
The sixth meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Commission proposed the “anti involution” policy to promote the withdrawal of outdated production capacity, and industries such as photovoltaics, steel, and cement have started to reduce production. The lithium battery industry is following policy guidance to accelerate the clearance of production capacity. It is reported that lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide with a single production capacity of less than 3000 tons/year (excluding the recycling of waste lithium batteries) belong to the category of elimination and should be eliminated within the prescribed time limit.
Market news states that a lithium salt factory in Jiangxi plans to shut down for maintenance for two months (resulting in a decrease of approximately 1000 tons in monthly production).
From the perspective of foreign markets, the Kathleen Valley of Liontown Resources in Australia began to shut down for maintenance in July, affecting at least the monthly concentrate production capacity of 30000 to 35000 tons. The resumption time of maintenance is unknown. In addition, Chile’s exports of lithium carbonate to China in June decreased by 41% year-on-year to 10200 tons, easing the marginal pressure on the supply side.
Energy storage demand remains strong, exceeding off-season expectations
The EU has increased its energy storage subsidy budget and the Australian household storage market has exploded. Driven by both subsidies and market mechanisms, the demand for energy storage batteries is strong, and export demand is driving the production of positive electrode materials.
Domestically speaking, the layout of the independent energy storage market is accelerating, and the National Development and Reform Commission requires nationwide coverage and continuous settlement operation by the end of 2025. Multiple regions are exploring capacity compensation mechanisms to improve the economic efficiency of energy storage projects.
According to data analysts from Shengyi Society, lithium carbonate is expected to rebound in the short term driven by market sentiment. In the long term, the total new production capacity of South American salt lakes (such as Atacama Salt Lake) and African lithium mines (such as Ganfeng Lithium’s Goulamana project) in 2025 is considerable, far exceeding the demand increment. The situation of oversupply is difficult to fundamentally reverse, and the price rebound may be difficult to sustain. Specific market changes still need to be monitored.

The maintenance of phthalic anhydride equipment has increased this week, the operating rate of phthalic anhydride enterprises has decreased, the supply of phthalic anhydride has decreased, and the downstream plasticizer market has fluctuated and fallen. The operating load of plasticizer enterprise equipment has decreased, and the demand support for phthalic anhydride has weakened. Supply has decreased and demand has weakened, resulting in weak consolidation of phthalic anhydride prices this week.
Future expectations
According to the data analyst of Shengyi Society’s plasticizer products, in terms of cost, the price of isooctanol has fluctuated and fallen, the price of phthalic anhydride has weakened and stabilized, and the cost support of plasticizer DOP has weakened; On the supply side, plasticizer enterprises have seen a decrease in production, a reduction in plasticizer output, and a decrease in plasticizer supply. Overall, the reduction in supply leads to a decrease in costs, and it is expected that the price of plasticizer DOP will fluctuate and fall in the future.

The domestic fluorite price trend has slightly declined this week. As of the weekend, the average domestic fluorite price was 3137.5 yuan/ton, a decrease of 0.40% from the beginning of the week price of 3150 yuan/ton and a year-on-year decrease of 16.14%.
Supply side: The mine is operating normally, and the supply of fluorite is normal
The current situation of the game in the domestic fluorite industry still exists. Overall, the operating rate of enterprises has increased. Upstream mining is tense, and backward mines will continue to be eliminated. In terms of new mines, mineral investigation work is still difficult. In addition, national departments need to rectify fluorite mines, and fluorite mining enterprises are facing increasingly strict safety and environmental protection requirements. The difficulty of operating fluorite mines has increased, and the shortage of raw materials has limited the operation of fluorite enterprises. However, with the rise of temperature, northern enterprises are operating normally, and the supply of fluorite enterprises in the field has increased. The lack of active procurement has led to sufficient spot goods in the field. Some fluorite manufacturers have a strong sentiment of destocking, resulting in a continued decline in the fluori.
Demand side: Low price of hydrofluoric acid, acceptable refrigerant market
This week, the domestic price of hydrofluoric acid remained low, and the mainstream price for hydrofluoric acid in various regions of China is negotiated at 10000-10500 yuan/ton. Some downstream hydrofluoric acid units are still shut down, and there is little change in the spot supply of hydrofluoric acid. Manufacturers mainly purchase hydrofluoric acid on demand, and the overall production of hydrofluoric acid remains at more than 50%. Fluorine enterprises maintain essential orders, and hydrofluoric acid enterprises are in a loss making state. They are not actively purchasing raw fluorite, and downstream merchants have a strong wait-and-see attitude. Both buyers and sellers have weak expectations for the future due to poor demand digestion. Recently, some hydrofluoric acid manufacturers have seen prices decline, which has affected the fluorite price market.
The downstream refrigerant market in the terminal industry is still promising, and the terminal policy of the refrigerant industry is being strengthened. Demand is expected to achieve substantial improvement. Fluorine chemical enterprises within quota control have strong confidence in raising prices in the refrigerant market. Currently, the pace of high price procurement is relatively slow, but the industry inventory is transmitting in a positive and orderly manner. Due to high prices, the enthusiasm for stocking up in the terminal industry is low, and upstream products are mainly purchased on demand. The trend of refrigerant market is average, while the fluorite market is sluggish.
In addition to the traditional demand in the refrigerant industry, fluorite, as an important mineral raw material for modern industry, is constantly developing in emerging fields. It is also applied in strategic emerging industries such as new energy and new materials, as well as in national defense, nuclear industry and other fields, including lithium hexafluorophosphate, PVDF、 Graphite negative electrodes, photovoltaic panels, etc., have received certain support in the application of fluorite due to the demand for new energy and semiconductors.
Market forecast: In the near future, it is difficult to improve the supply of domestic fluorite mines, and some mines have stopped production and undergone safety inspections. The tight supply of fluorite mines is a positive support for the fluorite market. However, in some areas, the lack of active fluorite procurement has led to an increase in inventory. In addition, downstream resistance to high prices is severe, and hydrofluoric acid enterprises mainly purchase on demand, with no actual increase in demand. In addition, the market price of hydrofluoric acid is low. Overall, the fluorite market price is prone to decline but difficult to rise in the short term.

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, the price of acetic acid continued to decline in early July. As of the 9th, the average market price of acetic acid was 2430 yuan/ton, a decrease of 2.41% from the beginning of the month price of 2490 yuan/ton. The domestic acetic acid market has fallen, mainly due to the increase in supply of acetic acid and insufficient demand follow-up, resulting in the accumulation of enterprise inventory, bearish market sentiment, and a downward shift in acetic acid prices. However, downstream stocking intentions are not high, and market transactions remain flat. Under the supply-demand game, the price center of acetic acid continues to decline.
The upstream methanol market continued to decline in early July. As of the 7th, the average price in the domestic market was 2390 yuan/ton, a decrease of 5.53% from the beginning of the month price of 2530 yuan/ton. The downstream market for methanol is weak, with average demand performance. In terms of external markets, the delivery of methanol in mainstream ports has ended, weakening support for the spot market. There is a lack of favorable conditions in the market, leading to a weak downward trend in the methanol market.
Market forecast: The acetic acid analyst from Shengyi Society believes that the domestic acetic acid production capacity utilization rate will remain high, and there will be significant inventory pressure on enterprises. Downstream companies will mainly adopt a wait-and-see approach, and the trading atmosphere in the market is average. The market situation is that supply exceeds demand, and it is expected that the acetic acid market will operate weakly in the short term. In the future, attention will be paid to downstream follow-up.
