According to chemical online statistics, so far, in the statistics of 160 products, 108 products are up, down 52 products. The overall trend of the industry is gradually rising.

Throughout the year, crude oil, environmental protection, hype, etc. were the key factors affecting the chemical market.

From the point of view of crude oil, the main impact surface in energy products, of which oil is a more direct category. Such as fuel oil, coal tar (medium temperature), blending oil and methanol, ethanol and other oil closely related chemical products are greatly affected. Among them, fuel oil and coal tar (medium temperature) basically followed the trend of crude oil, especially the high and low prices of burning oil even doubled throughout the year.

From the point of environmental protection, since the beginning of the national strength increasing of environmental governance, especially for the coking coal chemical industry enterprises and organic intermediates, inorganic chemicals, dyes, chlor-alkali enterprises affect to the deep, such as high temperature coal tar, coke, coal tar, caustic soda and other products rose by broke through the 100% for the whole year, and hit a record high. Even the relatively stable market for natural gas doubled after the heating season began, striking the industry as crazy.

In addition, speculation also this year's chemical market to a good effect. Although hype is an important factor in any market, this year is especially important. The sharp shock of chemical products is the main channel for traders to make profits this year, and the amplitude of many chemical products even reaches more than 100%, such as hydrogen peroxide, formic acid, butadiene annual amplitude is 147%, 166%, 246%, etc., which has created many high-profit chemical enterprises this year. At the same time, there also appeared the phenomenon of fire and ice, such as the phenomenon of the rise and fall in the market of caustic soda, caustic soda price doubled at the same time, liquid chlorine throughout the year is always seeking the horizon breakthrough price of 1 yuan.
