Imakethe ye-acrylic acid yephasi loke ingena ngekota yesine ka-2026 ngomuzwa oqinileko wentengo, njengombana abakhiqizi abakhulu bamakhemikhali baphetjheya bakhipha amatjhuguluko amatjha weentengo, ngesikhathi ukukhuphuka kweendleko ze-propylene, amandla kanye neendleko zokuthutha zibumba kabutjha amaphetheni wokufunwa nokunikelwa kwesifunda. Njengesisetjenziswa esiqakathekileko se-monomer, i-acrylic acid ye-glacial isetjenziswa khulu eentweni ezifakwe emanzini, eenamathiseni ezizwela umfutho, ama-polymer adonsa khulu, eensetjenzisweni ezisiza ngeengubo kanye neenki zokugadangisa, begodu ukutjhuguluka kwentengo yayo kunomthelela oqondileko ekuzuzeni kwamafemu wokukhiqiza aphasi ephasini loke.

I-Oxea ne-BASF sele ikhuphule iinthelo zama-monomers ahlobene ne-acrylic e-Europe, e-Middle East kanye neemakethe ze-Asia-Pacific kusukela ekuthomeni kukaMgwengweni wee-2026. Abakhiqizi baveze bona ukwenyuka kwamandla wemali okuragela phambili kweendleko zezinto ezisetjenziswako, iindleko eziphezulu zegesi yemvelo kanye nokukhuphuka kwamanani weenkoloyi zesikepe zibangela bona ukubuyekezwa. Amanye amayunithi asebenzako we-Europe asebenza ngemithwalo ehlisiweko hlangana nokuphakelwa kwamandla okuncani, okuragela phambili nokuqinisa ukutholakala kwendawo eendaweni ze-EMEA. Abasebenzisi baphetjheya baqalene neendleko eziphezulu zokuthenga izinto zokunamathela nokugcoba, begodu abathengi abanengi bathoma ukuthola ezinye izinto ezivela e-Asia.

Ngokusekelwa yintengo ephezulu yamafutha ahlanzekileko, i-propylene, okuyi-feedstock ephambili ye-acrylic acid, iragela phambili ikhuphuka e-Asia. Ngemva kweholideyi yelizwe le-China, abakhiqizi be-acrylic acid yangekhaya bagcina amazinga wokusebenza aqinileko. Intengo yangekhaya ikhuphuka ngokusekelwa kweendleko. Khatheso, imibuzo yokuthengisa ngaphandle evela eSewula-mpumalanga ye-Asia, e-Middle East kanye ne-South Asia ikhuphuke khulu. Igebe lentengo hlangana neemakethe ze-Asia neze-Europe zenza amafasitela amahle wokuthunyelwa ngaphandle kwe-acrylic acid evela e-China kanye nama-acrylate esters aphasi. Nanyana kunjalo, amakhasimende wangekhaya ahlala aqaphele; inengi labakhiqizi bokugqoka nokunamathela basebenzisa ukuthenga ngezandla emlonyeni kunokobana bakhe isitokwe esiqinileko ukubalekela ubungozi bezinto ezikhona hlangana neentengo eziguquguqukako.

Abahlanganyeli bemakethe baqalisisa izinto ezimbili eziqakathekileko zokuthuthukiswa kwe-Q4: ukutjhuguluka kweendleko ze-propylene kanye namashejuli wokutlhogomela iintjalo zaphetjheya. Nangabe iindleko zamandla nezokuthutha zihluleka ukwehla esikhathini esifitjhani, intengo ye-acrylic acid yephasi loke ingahlala emazingeni aphezulu ekupheleni komnyaka ka-2026. Abahlaziyi bemboni baphakamisa bona abangenisi kufanele bahlole imithombo yokuphakelwa kweendawo ezinengi ngaphambilini ukuvikela ukutjhuguluka kwemakethe. Abathengisi be-China nabo kufuze bahlale baqale isigqi sama-oda wangaphetjheya kanye namatjhuguluko wehlelo lokuthumela phakathi kokunyuka kweendleko zokuthutha.
