Stronger demand, bullish outlook

In late July, the market trend of isooctanol in Shandong may rise slightly. On the whole, the ISO octanol plants have been started in recent years, and the overall operation rate of the ISO octanol industry has increased. However, the spot supply of ISO octanol is still insufficient, the downstream market is better, and the demand is increasing. As a result, isooctanol analysts from the business community believe that the domestic market of isooctanol may rise slightly in late July.
