Styrene China

The styrene monomer (SM) China report is published weekly. It covers spot trading in the Chinese domestic and import market and gives users clear and timely price assessments for East China ex-tank, South China delivered (DEL) and cost & freight (CFR) China Main Port (CMP) prices.

The report gives readers in-depth analysis and changes in China’s SM market. It also includes data of spot inventories for East China, the operating data of SM producers and downstream expandable polystyrene (EPS), polystyrene (PS) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) units.

This comprehensive review helps readers understand clearly the driving forces behind prices changes. All the information in our report comes from our dedicated reporters who translate truck trading and have a deep understanding of the SM market.

The report is used by our customers to establish their own pricing terms with suppliers or customers and to plan for the future. It is an important source of information for their business requirements.
