See and respond to rapid market shifts

Multiple feedstocks can be used to manufacture BDO, which is why upstream cost fluctuations have limited impact on this market. However, derivatives of BDO are used in a vast array of manufactured end products ranging from industrial solvents and textiles to PVC and coatings, so demand comes from multiple sectors. That’s why it’s vital for traders and sellers to stay abreast of the factors impacting downstream activity to avoid missed opportunities.
