The prices of epoxy resin and polyester resin industry chains, as well as butadiene, TGIC and other chemical products have all declined, and the intensity is relatively large, generally at 1,000 yuan. /Ton, the refrigerant R134a has dropped by 3,500 CNY/ton.
The lower prices in the industry chain are mainly due to the general market situation of downstream coating companies and weak purchasing enthusiasm. It is expected that the polyester resin industry chain will continue to decline slightly in the short term.

Although the prices of raw materials have begun to fall, compared with the continuous increase this year, the cost pressure of coating companies is still huge, which has created a tight cash flow for companies, and the price increase of coating companies is also compelling.

As prices rise, dealers are facing increasing pressure to survive. Many people who have been engaged in the coatings industry for 20 to 30 years say that there has never been such a big price increase.
Many top brands have just risen several times in September, and have risen several times in October, with an increase of 45%, and some accessories have risen by 120%.
For many distributors, the price of paint is rising every day. If you grab products from suppliers to stock up, your own financial pressure will be too great. But don't grab it, get the goods when necessary, and the supplier has no goods, which is very difficult. At the same time, with the increasing pressure from upstream to downstream to release price increases, store rents and labor costs are rising year by year, and operating pressure is increasing.
Due to rising raw material costs and disruptions in the supply chain, it seems only a matter of time before the price of coatings rises further. Akzo Nobel said that due to high costs and shortages of additives, petrochemical products, and packaging materials, the price of coating products will rise by 9% in 2021 and will rise by 14% to 15% by the end of the year. This trend will continue until the middle of 2022, and prices will rise further early next year, and the increase is likely to reach the mid-point.
