The prices of formic acid and acetic acid have dropped. The best time for purchasing has come!

Recently, good news has come from the chemical market. The prices of formic acid and acetic acid have dropped significantly. This undoubtedly presents an excellent purchasing opportunity for many related enterprises.

Let's first look at the formic acid market. Recently, its price has experienced a pullback. From the supply perspective, the formic acid production line has recently resumed operation, with the operating rate rising, which has led to an abundant supply of goods within the site and a significant increase in market supply. On the demand side, the performance has been rather lackluster. Currently, there are no strong supporting products. The market situation in the pharmaceutical and pesticide industries is average, with limited seasonal demand support. The recovery of demand in the leather industry is also poor, and it is expected to remain weak. In terms of cost, the weakening fundamentals of raw methanol remain unchanged. Overall, it shows a relatively weak situation of increased supply and reduced demand, and its supporting effect on formic acid has weakened. The combined effect of multiple factors has led to a decline in the price of formic acid.

Looking at the acetic acid market again, the price has also been continuously declining. The market maintenance equipment has resumed operation, the inventory of manufacturers has increased, and the intention of enterprises to clear their inventories is obvious. However, the downstream demand is poor, and there is a resistance to high-priced supplies, resulting in a rather lackluster market trading atmosphere. Although the market of methanol, an upstream raw material, has fluctuated widely, it has not provided sufficient support for the acetic acid market. Under such a contradiction between supply and demand, the price of acetic acid has been continuously declining.

For all related enterprises, the reduction in the prices of formic acid and acetic acid means a decrease in procurement costs, and the profit margin is expected to further expand. Whether it is used in the production of pharmaceuticals and pesticides or as a chemical raw material in other fields, making purchases at this time can save enterprises a large amount of costs. This not only helps enhance the price competitiveness of enterprises in the market, but also brings more flexibility and development opportunities to the production and operation of enterprises.

The decline in the prices of formic acid and acetic acid is the result of the adjustment of the market supply and demand relationship, providing enterprises with a rare purchasing opportunity. Enterprises should seize this opportunity, rationally plan their procurement plans, control costs while ensuring the smooth progress of production, and gain greater advantages for their development.
