As of September 27, 2026, the spot market for 2-ethylhexanol in China has shown a strong rebound trend. The average difference indicator shows a bullish signal, and the price is at a high level for the past year. However, with the weak trend in propylene costs and no significant increase in demand for plasticizers, the short-term upward potential is limited, and it is likely to maintain a narrow range of fluctuation.

6. Industry Chain Reference
The current price of the upstream raw material propylene is also at a high level in nearly 1 year. Recently, the average spread has weakened, and the cost support for 2-ethylhexanol has slightly loosened. Downstream plasticizer products such as DOP and DBP are also at high prices, and there is no significant demand-side support for the continued rise of 2-ethylhexanol.
