1、 Price trend
| Gamma-PGA (gamma polyglutamic acid) |
According to data monitored by Shengyi Society, as of December 17th, the average price of domestic industrial grade high-quality cyclohexane was 6900 yuan/ton. Currently, the supply of cyclohexane is sufficient, and the overall market supply and demand are balanced. Downstream demand is limited, and inventory is running at a high level.
2、 Market analysis
Market wise: In 2025, the overall import and export volume of cyclohexane will be less than in 2024. The domestic cyclohexane supply is loose, with supply exceeding demand and inventory running at a high level, resulting in slow consumption. Currently, the cyclohexane inventory is sufficient to meet the domestic market demand. In 2025, the performance of the cyclohexane upstream and downstream industry chain market is poor, with dismal demand and insufficient purchasing atmosphere in downstream markets. The overall market demand is limited, and cyclohexane prices are showing a downward trend from a high level, with prices continuously hitting new lows in recent years. Currently, industry players are pessimistic and cautious in their operations.
Upstream pure benzene: Due to the influence of the international crude oil market, the pure benzene market is weakly consolidating and operating, and the cost side has limited support for the pure benzene market. In terms of prices, Sinopec’s East China pure benzene price is priced at 5300 yuan/ton, and North China pure benzene price is priced at 5190 yuan/ton. The weak operation of the Shandong market is the main focus of negotiations, and the on-site negotiation range is between 5150-5260 yuan/ton. Contract holders are considering a decrease in the number of imported goods arriving at the ship in the future, a slowdown in port inventory accumulation, and a positive attitude towards entering the market for replenishment. The overall market procurement atmosphere has improved, and the negotiation focus is relatively high.
In terms of demand, cyclohexane accounts for a relatively large proportion of consumption in China. With the improvement of product quality and production capacity, export volume has been increasing year by year. The demand for cyclohexane in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other regions has grown rapidly, providing a broad international market space for Chinese enterprises. Cyclohexane, also known as hexahydrobenzene, is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Insoluble in water, soluble in most organic solvents, highly flammable. It is generally used as a general solvent, chromatographic analysis standard substance, and for organic synthesis. It can be applied in resins, coatings, fats, paraffin oils, and can also be used to prepare organic compounds such as cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone,
3、 Future forecast
The cyclohexane analyst from Shengyi Society believes that the cyclohexane industry has a high degree of concentration, with large enterprises dominating and intense market competition pressure. The price fluctuation range is limited, and the overall market supply and demand balance is expected to remain stable in the short term.
