According to monitoring data from Business Society, as of December 14, 2023, the factory price reference for domestically produced industrial grade dimethyl carbonate is 4150 yuan/ton. Compared with December 9 (reference price for dimethyl carbonate is 4200 yuan/ton), the price has decreased by 50 yuan/ton, a decrease of 1.19%.

From the monitoring chart of Business Society data, it can be seen that this week (12.9-12.14), the overall domestic dimethyl carbonate market showed a downward trend. During the week, the overall performance of downstream demand for dimethyl carbonate remained average, and the overall operating rate on the supply side was low. Some factories in Shandong continued to undergo maintenance but have not yet started. At the beginning of the week, after the supply of dimethyl carbonate in some factories was slowly released, the supply pressure of factories was reduced, and the price of dimethyl carbonate was narrowly increased by about 50 yuan/ton. As the weekend approaches, the downstream demand for dimethyl carbonate remains weak, and the overall focus on the market has slightly declined. The price of dimethyl carbonate has been lowered by about 50-100 yuan/ton. As of December 14th, the domestic market price of dimethyl carbonate is around 3900-4300 yuan/ton, and the lower price is around 3800 yuan/ton.

Analysis of future market trends

At present, the trading atmosphere of domestic dimethyl carbonate on the exchange is relatively light, and the transmission of supply and demand on the exchange is still relatively slow. The mentality of the industry is average, and downstream stocking is cautious. The dimethyl carbonate data analyst of the Business Society believes that in the short term, the domestic dimethyl carbonate market will mainly adjust and operate in a narrow range, and the specific trend still needs to pay more attention to the changes in supply and demand news.
