Phthalic anhydride Asia

ICIS publishes a weekly report of spot prices for phthalic anhydride (PA) cost & freight (CFR) China Main Port (CMP) and southeast Asia (SE Asia).

ICIS also keeps track of key supply-demand dynamics in the domestic China market. Additionally, we report on important local prices in east and south China on an ex-warehouse basis.

Upstream orthoxylene (OX) prices give our subscribers a more in-depth understanding of the cost structure of PA producers.

Content is based on close contact with a wide range of market players showing that information is timely and impartial.

News on scheduled turnarounds, production outages, and an in-depth analysis of supply and demand fundamentals are included.

ICIS published prices are considered to be in-depth and accurate, forming a benchmark for spot transactions and a component for contract settlements in Asia.
