September 30 report:
According to the Spotcom AI assistant, as of September 29, 2026, the spot price of maleic anhydride in China remained stable. Trading in Shandong and Jiangsu regions was mainly driven by rigid demand. The current market indicators show that the market is in a rebound phase with a bearish oscillation, with prices at a high level within the past year. High prices of upstream raw materials such as pure benzene and liquefied gas supported the cost. Subsequently, attention should be paid to the demand release in downstream sectors such as unsaturated resins and 1,4-butylene glycol.
The latest available data for maleic anhydride in China is up to September 29, 2026. It is recommended to refer to real-time data.

II. Signal State Determination
The current deviation change symbol combination is (－, ＋, －), which belongs to a rebound (bearish) signal.
Three, Conclusions on Trend Directions
The current market trend is volatile, because the direction of change in the 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day moving averages compared to the previous day is not entirely consistent, and does not meet the criteria for a clear upward or downward trend.
IV. Positional Spatial Reference
Maleic anhydride 60-day, 3-month, and 1-year cycle prices are all in the 5th tier (high) out of 5 tiers in China, with limited room for further increases.

VI. Latest Market Developments
Regional Market: On September 29, in Shandong, the factory price for solid maleic anhydride was RMB 8,500–9,500 per ton, while that for liquid maleic anhydride was around RMB 8,800 per ton; in Jiangsu, the factory price for solid maleic anhydride was RMB 8,500–9,500 per ton, and for liquid maleic anhydride it was RMB 8,900–9,100 per ton. In both regions, transactions were driven primarily by essential demand, and market conditions remained broadly stable.
Industry chain overview: At the upstream raw-material end, both benzene and liquefied petroleum gas are currently trading at near‑one‑year highs, providing strong cost support for maleic anhydride. Downstream applications span polyaspartic acid, unsaturated polyester resins, 1,4‑butanediol, tetrahydrofuran, and other sectors; however, there are currently no clear signs of a significant surge in demand.
