Acetone Asia

The ICIS Asia weekly acetone report provides key price quotes for China and southeast Asia (SE Asia).

We provide information on deals, bids and offers, which form the basis of the published assessments and bring other factors behind the price movements.

Feedstock benzene and propylene are tracked and an overview of key downstream markets is provided.

Understanding the key cost & freight (CFR) China spot market is complex because of a variety of anti-dumping duties leveraged by the Chinese government.

To provide greater clarity for subscribers, ICIS provides a normalised CFR China quote based on 0% anti-government duty and a 5.5% import duty.

This has been well received by our subscribers as a valuable alternative to the existing benchmark CFR China quote.

We communicate with a wide section of market participants, producers and traders and continue to deliver accurate assessments each week.

ICIS collects pricing data on a wide range of chemical, energy and fertilizer products, including Acetone. Our extensive experience in price reporting means we can offer you access to historical data dating back more than 20 years for certain commodities.

Our time series of pricing data enable you to build and model trends, to get a view of where markets might be heading. The data service includes charting functionality, allowing you to chart and download multiple data series for manipulation in your own internal models. You can also export data to Excel via the ICIS dashboard service.
