Acetic acid China

Chinese acetic acid daily and weekly price reports.

Daily report: We obtain information about the Chinese domestic market for our daily report by communicating with acetic acid producers, end-users, traders and other parties. We provide daily price assessments, specifically for ex-tank east China, ex-tank south China, and delivered north China, to customers that use the acetic acid price assessed by Chemease as a benchmark. Additionally, information on upstream methanol and key derivatives acetic ester, vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) and purified terephthalic acid (PTA) are included in the report.

Weekly report: We cover global and Chinese markets in the weekly report. We report price changes in the US, Europe and Asia and the reasons behind them, as well as information on China’s acetic acid export market on a free on board (FOB) China Main Port (CMP) basis.

Apart from price changes in east, south and north China, we deliver comprehensive analysis about the weekly supply-demand situation, including operating rates of acetic acid plants, feedstock methanol, ethylene and ethanol market changes, and operating rates and price changes in the downstream acetic ester, VAM, PTA, acetic anhydride and monochloroacetic acid (MCAA) sectors. This information can help our customers keep their thumb on the pulse of their business.
