Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Northeast Asia: The uptick was primarily driven by rising demand in industries such as plasticizers, which are widely used in manufacturing PVC. The region witnessed a boost in industrial activities, particularly in China and South Korea, where government-led infrastructure projects stimulated demand for flexible plastics and coatings. Additionally, the cost of raw materials saw a slight rise due to increased production costs from key suppliers in the region, further pushing up prices. International shipping costs also increased marginally, with port congestion in major shipping hubs like Shanghai and Busan. As a result, logistics costs were a contributing factor to the price hike. Despite these challenges, the favorable demand-supply dynamics in the region continued to support price increases. Currency fluctuations and tariff adjustments also played a role in the shifting price landscape, particularly with ongoing trade negotiations affecting the stability of the Chinese yuan.

Product Description
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is derived from phthalic acid and butanol, with excellent plasticizing properties that make it suitable for manufacturing flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products such as cables, footwear, upholstery, and toys. As a colorless, oily liquid plasticizer with the chemical formula C16H22O4, DBP serves as a critical additive that enhances flexibility, durability, and processability in polymer applications, positioning it among the most widely used phthalate plasticizers in global chemical markets. DBP is primarily used to make flexible plastics, especially in PVC applications such as flooring, cables, and packaging materials, and is also used in the production of adhesives and sealants. The application of DBP extends beyond plastics to include paints, lacquers, printing inks, and adhesives, where it contributes to improved solvency, better film formation, and enhanced adhesion. In industrial systems, DBP enhances product performance through improved flexibility, enhanced processing characteristics, and extended service life of finished materials, while its cost-effectiveness and proven efficacy maintain its relevance across diverse manufacturing applications despite increasing regulatory scrutiny in consumer goods applications.
