Key Current Market Information-C5 Petroleum Resin (April 2026)

2026-04-02

Key Current Market Information-C5 Petroleum Resin   (April 2026)

Ethylene Production Cuts Expand Further, C5 Petroleum Resin Shortages Worsen

- Escalating conflicts in the Middle East have led to further declines in operating rates of integrated refining and chemical plants along China's eastern coast
- Cracked C5, as a by-product, is partly recycled for reprocessing, resulting in an even sharper contraction in supply
- Reduced output of cracked C5 drives continuous price increases
- Cracked C5 production this period stands at 68,900 tonnes, a decrease of 2,000 tonnes from the previous period

Core Points:
- Tight supply of cracked C5 and sustained price rises
- Shortages observed in C5 petroleum resin
- Ethylene unit production cuts have caused a contraction in raw material supply

Market Trend Judgment
Short-term (1-3 months)
- Sustained tight supply of cracked C5, with prices remaining at high levels
- Strong cost support for C5 petroleum resin

Medium-term (3-6 months)
- Monitor the recovery of ethylene plant operating rates
- Impact of the situation in the Middle East on crude oil and downstream products
