Up, up, up!

Since the beginning of this year, the price of chemical raw materials has risen frequently, which has caused huge cost pressure to many downstream industries
.
In late November, due to factors such as the epidemic and weak downstream demand, the prices of chemical raw materials fell slightly, but before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the tide of price increases struck again
.
Recently, led by titanium dioxide, a variety of chemical raw materials have ushered in a wave of price increases again, and the price increase trend will continue until January next year

The price increase of overseas titanium dioxide leading companies has led to the increase of domestic enterprises

It can be seen from the above that even if the domestic market is currently in a situation of weak supply and demand, it has not stopped the pace of chemical price increases
.
Although many chemical workers are a little shocked by the price trend of domestic chemical products at the end of the year, they also know that there is another important factor that determines the price.
, or an industry with high technical barriers and strong irreplaceability, its high price will not show a huge change under the change of supply and demand.
As long as the product price continues to decline, these companies will immediately raise prices together
.
Since the beginning of this year, due to the skyrocketing price of raw materials, the production costs of downstream coating companies have been greatly under pressure, and their profit margins have been greatly compressed.
Even though many companies have raised prices many times, they are still far from being able to catch up with the speed of upstream price increases
.
Near the end of the year, these big upstream companies with the right to speak frequently raise prices, which also sets the market tone for next year
.
It seems that the cost of paint has to continue to rise.
