On the final day of September, Shandong Jinling and Dongying Huatai both increased aniline ex-factory prices by 300 RMB/ton, as reported by ChemPriceHub.
Claight market monitoring shows that multiple facility maintenance shutdowns throughout August caused a continued tightening of supply and inventory levels. The China aniline price of USD 2,222/tonne on 2026-10-02 matches the 52-week high of USD 2,222/tonne set on 2026-09-30.
