According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, on August 27th, the ex factory price of cyclohexanone in Shandong Province, China was referenced at 7087 yuan/ton. Compared with August 1st (cyclohexanone price reference 7262 yuan/ton), the price decreased by 175 yuan/ton, a decrease of 2.41%.
From the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, it can be seen that in August, the overall market situation of cyclohexanone in Shandong Province, China, showed a weak downward trend. During the month, the center of gravity of the cyclohexanone market in Shandong has been consolidating and moving downwards, and the focus of market negotiations has gradually decreased. As of August 27th, the reference market price for cyclohexanone in Shandong, China is around 7050-7150 yuan/ton.
Market influencing factors
In terms of supply and demand: In August, there was little overall change in the spot supply of cyclohexanone in Shandong, and the supply performance was relatively stable. The downstream demand performance was poor, and the downstream stocking and purchasing performance was cautious. The transmission between supply and demand was slow, and the overall support for the cyclohexanone market was weak.
In terms of cost: In August, the market for pure benzene on the cost raw material side fluctuated and adjusted, providing sufficient cost support for cyclohexanone. On August 26th, the reference price for pure benzene was 6155.33 yuan/ton, an increase of 1.32% compared to August 1st (6075.33 yuan/ton).
Market analysis in the future
At present, the trading atmosphere in the cyclohexanone market is mild, and the mentality of industry players is average. The cyclohexanone data analyst from Shengyi Society predicts that in the short term, the domestic cyclohexanone market will mainly undergo narrow adjustments, and specific changes in supply and demand information need to be closely monitored.

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, the domestic natural rubber spot market has fluctuated slightly upwards recently (8.11-8.25). As of August 25th, the spot rubber market in China’s natural rubber market was around 14975 yuan/ton, an increase of 1.07% from 14816 yuan/ton on the 11th. Downstream tire production has slightly increased, providing essential support for Tianjian; On the other hand, the price of natural rubber raw materials remains strong, and the cost support of natural rubber continues; In addition, the slight decrease in domestic port inventory and the improvement of market atmosphere have driven natural rubber prices to fluctuate and rise. As of August 25th, the mainstream price for 24 years of Guangken, Baodao, and Haibao latex in Qingdao area is 14900-15100 yuan/ton.
As of August 25th, the price of Thai glue was 55.25 baht/kg, an increase of 2.31% from 54.00 baht/kg on August 11th. In mid August, heavy rainfall in some parts of Thailand caused resistance to natural rubber (TSR) cutting activities, coupled with unstable production in Vietnam’s old natural rubber plantations, which supported the price of natural rubber raw materials in the short term. But in the later stage, with the expected restart of rubber cutting in the past, the price of natural rubber raw materials may fall from a high level.
Recently (8.11-8.25), natural rubber inventories have continued to decrease slightly, and the market atmosphere has improved. As of August 24, 2025, the total inventory of Tianjiao bonded and general trade in Qingdao area was 606200 tons, a decrease of 10500 tons or 1.71% compared to the previous period.
Recently (8.11-8.25), downstream tire production has slightly increased, providing essential support for the natural rubber market. As of August 22, the construction of semi steel tires by domestic tire companies has slightly increased to around 7.40%; The construction of all steel tires by tire companies in Shandong Province has slightly increased to around 6.5%.
Market forecast: The current high prices of raw materials both domestically and internationally, as well as the increase in downstream tire production, provide support for the Tianjin rubber market. The Tianjin rubber port inventory has slightly decreased, and with the arrival of the peak season, it is expected that the natural rubber market will fluctuate and rise in the later period.

1、 Price trend
According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, as of August 22, the reference average price of the domestic urea market was 1775 yuan/ton, which is 0.50% higher than the reference average price of 1766 yuan/ton on August 18.
2、 Market analysis
market situation
This week, the domestic urea market price first rose and then fell. This week, the urea futures market price first rose and then fell, and the spot market followed the fluctuations of the futures market. As of August 22, the urea market prices in Shandong are around 1740-1780 yuan/ton, Hebei is around 1770 yuan/ton, Henan is around 1750-1780 yuan/ton, Hubei is around 1770 yuan/ton, and Liaoning is around 1760 yuan/ton.
Supply and demand situation
This week, the domestic urea market is experiencing oversupply. On the supply side, during the maintenance of some urea plants this week, the daily production slightly increased, and the market supply remains sufficient. In terms of demand, the autumn agricultural demand for urea has entered the off-season, and downstream compound fertilizer enterprises have low purchasing enthusiasm.
3、 Future forecast
Business Society’s urea analyst believes that the domestic urea market has been weak and declining recently. At present, the trading atmosphere in the urea market has weakened, with a small amount of downstream purchases and no significant improvement in demand. It is expected that in the short term, the domestic urea price will be weak and mainly operated through consolidation.

According to the monitoring of the commodity market analysis system of Shengyi Society, the price of activated carbon at the beginning of the week was 12933 yuan/ton, and the price of activated carbon at the end of the week was 12933/ton, which is stable.
The prices of domestic activated carbon manufacturers have remained stable this week, with the ex factory price of activated carbon for coconut shell water purification in East China ranging from 9000 to 13000 yuan/ton. Currently, the market is experiencing stable sales without favorable support, and high prices have hindered downstream use. The focus is on market transactions.
Coconut shell carbonization material is one of the important raw materials for producing sodium electric hard carbon negative electrode materials. The current situation of China’s coconut shell carbonization material market shows a high dependence on imports. 95% of coconut shell carbonization materials in China rely on imports, with the Philippines and Indonesia as the main supply bases, and Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and other countries also have some sources of supply. The proportion of domestically produced coconuts and coconut shells in the world is extremely small. ‌‌
Prediction: Domestic market transactions are hindered, and it is expected that the price of activated carbon will mainly fluctuate in the short term.

The market price of epichlorohydrin has risen this week. According to the monitoring and analysis system of Shengyi Society, as of August 21st, the benchmark price of Shengyi Society’s epichlorohydrin was 11300 yuan/ton, a decrease of 0.88% compared to early August.
Price influencing factors:
Raw material side: This week, the price of raw material propylene has fallen slightly, while the price of glycerol remains high and firm. Overall, the cost side is still under high pressure, and coupled with the decrease in spot supply inventory, the price of epichlorohydrin continues to rise. According to the market analysis system of Shengyi Society, as of August 21st, the benchmark price of propylene in Shengyi Society was 6548.25 yuan/ton, an increase of 1.79% compared to the beginning of this month (6433.25 yuan/ton).
Demand side: The downstream epoxy resin market has a strong wait-and-see attitude, with a focus on small orders for essential needs. At present, the capacity utilization rate of the epoxy resin market is about 50%, and the supply is relatively loose. Some downstream enterprises have tentatively raised prices, but due to weak terminal demand and a cold trading atmosphere, there are very few actual orders. Overall, the demand side has limited support for the epoxy chloropropane market.
Market forecast: Analysts from Shengyi Society believe that the prices of glycerol and propylene on the cost side are consolidating at a high level, and spot inventory in the market is decreasing. Epoxy chloropropane manufacturers are optimistic and have a positive upward trend. It is expected that the epoxy chloropropane market will operate steadily and strongly in the near future, and more attention still needs to be paid to changes in raw material prices and market supply and demand.
