(The above prices refer to the quotes provided by mainstream domestic enterprises, and some unreported enterprises are temporarily not within their scope. The prices are for reference only and are not related to the final pricing of the manufacturers. For details, please contact each manufacturer for consultation.).
Future forecast
The domestic market for sodium metabisulfite is generally sluggish, and it is expected that the domestic market price will mainly fluctuate in the short term.

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, from July 25th to August 1st, the average price of BDO in China fell from 8685 yuan/ton to 8400 yuan/ton, with a price drop of 3.29% during the period, a month on month drop of 3.84%, and a year-on-year drop of 5.92%. The domestic BDO prices have dropped significantly, leading to a decrease in supply, while the main downstream industries have experienced a decline in production, resulting in a reduction in raw material digestion and a continuation of the supply-demand imbalance. Holders actively offer discounts for shipments, causing the market center of gravity to fluctuate downward.
On the supply side, the maintenance status of the Lanshantun River Phase II and III facilities continues, while other facilities are operating stably. The industry supply has decreased, and there is no favorable support from the supply side. BDO supply and sales are affected by negative factors.
On the cost side, raw material calcium carbide: The domestic calcium carbide market continues to decline at a low level, and the export of supporting calcium carbide is impacting the market. Some enterprises are accelerating shipments, making flexible transactions, actively shipping, and continuously increasing low-priced sources of goods.. Raw material methanol: The domestic methanol market has rebounded, and as of 10:00 am on August 1st, the reference price for domestic methanol in Taicang is 2395 yuan/ton. The weak consolidation of raw materials such as calcium carbide and methanol, as well as the negative impact of BDO cost factors.
On the demand side, the downstream PTMEG and PBT industries have seen a decrease in load, while other industries are operating stably. The overall production on the demand side has declined, resulting in a decrease in the amount of raw material digestion, and the industry’s supply and demand pressure still exists. The demand side of BDO is affected by bearish factors.
In the future forecast, the supply of BDO market will decrease while the demand will increase, but the industry inventory will accumulate and the supply-demand contradiction will intensify. The BDO analyst from Shengyi Society predicts that the domestic BDO market will mainly be dominated by weak consolidation.

July is the traditional off-season for demand, and some downstream production has slightly decreased due to the impact of high temperatures. Overall, the enthusiasm for entering the market for procurement is average, and rigid demand procurement is maintained as the main focus. However, the downstream wind power industry has a strong demand for orders, which provides support for the price of epoxy resin. In the latter half of the year, the quotation for epoxy resin has increased slightly, but downstream demand is not strong enough to catch up, and the overall stability of enterprise quotations is mainly maintained.

On the supply side, according to statistics, the average operating load rate of the liquid epoxy resin industry during the month was 60%. The spot supply in the market is still relatively abundant, and the market supply and demand are relatively weak.
Due to relatively abundant supply and insufficient demand support, the bisphenol A market continues to decline in negotiations, and there is little positive support in August. The supply of epichlorohydrin in the market has increased, and some companies have offered discounts for shipments. Market offers have followed suit and the support for epoxy resin costs has weakened
Business Society expects a slight increase in the epoxy resin market. The supply side is expected to decline; The demand side has not changed much compared to July. Overall, the spot supply in August may still be relatively abundant, with production companies selling flexibly based on their own orders and inventory. Some companies have wind power orders to support prices, which may be relatively firm, while others may follow suit or have relatively slower prices. The price of epoxy resin is expected to rise slightly in August, with an expected operating range of 13400-14500 yuan/ton.

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, the price of domestic sodium metabisulfite has risen this month. The average price of industrial grade sodium metabisulfite at the beginning of the month was 1853 yuan/ton, and the average price at the end of the month was 1923 yuan/ton, an increase of 3.78% within the month.

This month, the domestic industrial grade sodium metabisulfite market prices have risen, with upstream soda ash prices rising by 3.5% and sulfur prices rising by 5.43%. The market supply is tight, and the price of sodium metabisulfite has also risen due to the impact of rising raw material prices. (The above prices refer to the quotes provided by mainstream domestic enterprises, and some unreported enterprises are temporarily not within their scope. The prices are for reference only and are not related to the final pricing of the manufacturers. For details, please contact each manufacturer for consultation.).
Future forecast
At present, the sales of sodium metabisulfite in the market are accelerating, and it is expected that the domestic market price will mainly fluctuate and strengthen in the short term.

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, as of July 25, 2025, the reference price of n-butanol in Shandong Province, China is 5883 yuan/ton. Compared with July 1 (reference price of n-butanol is 6466 yuan/ton), the price has decreased by 583 yuan/ton, a decrease of 9.02%.

From the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, it can be seen that since July, the overall market situation of n-butanol in Shandong Province, China has shown a weak downward trend. During the month, the focus of the n-butanol market in Shandong has been continuously adjusted downwards, with n-butanol factories and suppliers lowering their shipment prices. On site negotiations have gradually shifted towards the lower end, with a cumulative reduction of around 500-600 yuan/ton during the month. As of July 25th, the reference price for n-butanol in the domestic Shandong region is around 5850-5950 yuan/ton.
Market influencing factors
On the supply side, the expected new production capacity of n-butanol is expected to be put into operation, and the increase in supply has brought suppression to the market, putting overall pressure on the supply side. The supply source is sufficient, and factories are actively offering discounts to maintain low inventory levels. However, the supply side provides insufficient market support.
On the demand side: During the month, downstream production of n-butanol has declined slightly, and the overall transmission of downstream demand for n-butanol is slow. The market continues to decline, and demand performance is cautious. Inquiries are mostly buying at low prices, and the support from the demand side was not satisfactory before.
Market analysis in the future
At present, the trading atmosphere of n-butanol in the market is relatively weak, and the mentality of industry players is average. There is a strong wait-and-see sentiment in the market. The n-butanol data analyst from Shengyi Society predicts that in the short term, the n-butanol market in Shandong, China will mainly operate in a range, and specific changes in supply and demand information need to be closely monitored.

According to the commodity analysis system of Shengyi Society, the domestic maleic anhydride market continued to decline in mid July. As of July 21, the average market price of n-butane oxidation maleic anhydride remained at 6075 yuan/ton, a decrease of 1.22% from 6150.00 yuan/ton on July 11.

Supply side: In mid July, the market for maleic anhydride stabilized at a low level, with factory prices slightly falling. Downstream procurement was cautious, and new orders were limited. Recently, downstream unsaturated resin manufacturers of maleic anhydride have maintained a stock of essential goods and are mainly observing the situation. As of July 21st, the factory price of solid anhydride in the maleic anhydride market in Shandong Province is around 5600 yuan/ton, while the factory price of liquid anhydride is around 5100 yuan/ton.
Upstream: The n-butane market fluctuated in mid July, and as of July 21, the price in Shandong was around 4650 yuan/ton.
Downstream: The recent weak consolidation of the unsaturated resin market is the main reason. Currently, unsaturated resin is in the off-season of consumption, and downstream transactions are average. The support for unsaturated resin is limited, and the market has a strong wait-and-see sentiment.

Product analysts believe that currently, the main downstream unsaturated resin of maleic anhydride is still in the off-season, which maintains a strong demand for maleic anhydride procurement; The upstream n-butane market for maleic anhydride is volatile, with limited cost support. In addition, the supply of maleic anhydride in the market is sufficient, and factory orders continue to be poor. It is expected that the maleic anhydride market will mainly consolidate at a low level in the near future.
