Acetic acid price trend

Market summary and future forecast
Bai Jiaxin, acetic anhydride data analyst of business news agency, believes that the rising cost of acetic anhydride has stimulated the price of acetic anhydride to reach a new high due to the impact of a record high price of acetic acid. Acetic acid market is difficult to change in the short term, the cost of acetic anhydride is still high, the pressure of acetic anhydride in the future is insufficient, and the rising power is strong. At the same time, due to the strong resistance of downstream customers to high price acetic anhydride, the rising space of acetic anhydride is limited. It is expected that the acetic anhydride market will stabilize after a small rise in the future.
