In mid-October 2026, China’s adipic acid market witnesses upward movement within a defined price range. Several domestic adipic acid producers have reduced operating loads or scheduled partial plant maintenance, leading to tightened spot circulation in the domestic market. Supply shrinkage provides fundamental support to spot quotations.

Downstream manufacturers of nylon 66, polyurethane and plasticizers have started rigid-demand restocking. As a key raw material for polyamide and PU materials, adipic acid sees steady purchasing activity from nylon and resin factories. Even so, downstream enterprises remain prudent in procurement. Most buyers only purchase raw materials to satisfy immediate production needs rather than building large stockpiles, which limits sharp price surges.

Globally, overseas supply tightness continues to support Asian adipic acid prices. Some overseas adipic acid facilities still face operational disruptions, reducing available cargo for export. International inquiries targeting Chinese adipic acid have risen gradually. Global buyers engaged in nylon and polyurethane production are closely watching China’s spot availability, delivery schedules and quotation changes.

Market participants hold mixed opinions on the short-term outlook. On the bullish side, domestic plant maintenance and tight overseas supply will keep supporting spot prices. On the bearish side, downstream terminal demand has not achieved strong recovery, so continuous large-scale price increases are unlikely. Industry analysts forecast that adipic acid prices will maintain an upward trend with limited fluctuation range in the next two weeks. Buyers need to track three key indicators: domestic plant restart plans, nylon terminal order changes, and overseas cargo supply status.
