The cost of plasticizer DBP products has increased, and the driving force for DBP growth has increased; The price increase of PVC has slowed down, the demand for PVC has cooled down, and the support for the increase in demand for plasticizers is insufficient. In the future, the cost of DBP has increased, and the support from rising demand is insufficient. It is expected that DBP prices will fluctuate and consolidate in the future.
