Glacial acetic acid industry weekly report
China's weekly Glacial Acetic Acid market analysis
The price of raw material methanol rose sharply during the period (June 6, 2025-June 12, 2025, the same below), while the price of glacial acetic acid fell.
Specifically, the spot price of glacial acetic acid in East China fell during this period, and the price fluctuation range was 2350-2450 yuan/ton.
Affected by macroeconomic sentiment, the price of raw material methanol was raised on the market and at the port. The enterprises in the production area actively oversold the volume but not the price. In addition, the demand for olefin external procurement still existed, and the price was at a relatively low level, which attracted some traders to intervene. Most factories in the production area shipped smoothly during the week. Due to concerns about the market's tradable volume, the port methanol market saw an improvement in buying momentum during the month, which pushed up market prices and strengthened the basis. However, after rising to a high level, the market buying momentum weakened and the price fell back slightly, but the overall trend remained strong.
During this period, glacial acetic acid prices declined in all regions, with North China experiencing the largest drop of 68 yuan/ton, or 2.71%. Prices in surrounding areas also fell, and supply shocks in some areas led to a rapid drop in prices within the region.

Citric Acid Market Weekly Report (May 8-15, 2025)
This week's key viewpoints
The citric acid market remained basically stable this week. From the supply side, upstream manufacturers were operating normally, inventories were gradually accumulating, and the industry supply was sufficient. From the demand side, domestic market demand was sluggish. Downstream food and beverage processing plants had low operating levels, and purchases were made on demand, so traders were not selling goods quickly. It is expected that citric acid prices will continue to consolidate at a low level.
