During the first half of June, Butyl Acetate prices in China rose slightly, supported by resilient export demand to countries like T眉rkiye, Egypt, and Indonesia, despite subdued domestic consumption. Regional feedstock and solvent supply tightened due to plant maintenance activities at Celanese鈥檚 Singapore unit and Petronas in Malaysia, providing psychological support to prices. Although production costs remained weak and domestic profitability was limited, balanced supply and controlled inventories kept the market stable. Domestic demand stayed soft amid economic uncertainty and seasonal slowdown, with most buyers procuring on a need-only basis. Meanwhile, Southeast Asia鈥檚 monsoon season is expected to further dampen demand in the weeks ahead.
