The shortage and rising prices of coal, oil and natural gas have not only driven up the prices of chemical products in their respective industrial chains and derivative industrial chains, but also driven up the prices of electricity and gas, making the production of domestic chemical, industrial and other almost all industries. Operating costs are soaring rapidly. Whether it is the high-profile letter of nearly 100 paint and chemical companies announcing the price increase, or the low-key notification of small and medium-sized enterprises to customer groups about price increases, the final result is that price increases are passed down step by step, and the industry chain Eventually a tide of rising prices formed.
