Currently, mainstream factories of ethyl acetate have low inventory levels, and their inventory depletion plans during the Lunar New Year holiday period are basically in place. The main bidding factories have relatively low volumes for distant future delivery, significantly affected by transportation issues. At the beginning of this week, there was an objectively existing premium. The Lianyungang factory has low inventory, and the ethyl acetate plant in central China has no plans to commence operations before the New Year.
For n-propyl acetate, factories in East China currently have low inventory levels, and pre-holiday shipment plans have been arranged, with mainstream quotes remaining stable. The Shandong region has no inventory and loading plans are arranged according to production volumes. Prices in this region have remained stable this week.
Regarding n-butyl acetate, factories in North China will not initiate any new production plans before the New Year. Quotes in Shandong are stable, and prices in East China remained unchanged last week. Based on the execution of each factory's pre-holiday plans, there is no significant inventory pressure. As logistics gradually cease operations this week, prices remain stable.
