Coal chemical product market my country's coal chemical market is greatly affected by the international market. Taking methanol as an example, the highest price in the first half of 1995 reached 4,200 yuan/ton. In the second half of the year, the market price of methanol plummeted, falling to about 2,100 yuan/ton at the end of the year. The domestic methanol market did not improve in 1996. By 1997, the price of methanol in the international market increased and imports decreased. The domestic methanol price once rebounded to 2,500 to 2,600 yuan/ton. However, in the second half of the year, the demand for methanol downstream products was not strong, and the price fell back to around 2,200 yuan/ton. From 1998 to 1999, the domestic methanol market continued to be low, and the price once fell to about 1,050 yuan/ton. After the second quarter of 1999, some domestic small and medium-sized methanol plants stopped or reduced production, resulting in a relative decrease in methanol production, and * * A series of measures have been introduced to expand domestic demand and promote the development of the national economy, which have stimulated the development of domestic production and gradually increased the demand for methanol in downstream methanol products. At the same time, affected by the impact of the international market, the strong demand has continued unabated and prices have risen rapidly. In 2000, the ex-factory price of methanol in the domestic market was 1,800 to 2,000 yuan/ton, with a maximum of about 2,350 yuan/ton. 2001 was a year of low methanol prices. Affected by the weakening world economic trend, the price dropped by 50% throughout the year. The price in November was about 1,300 yuan/ton. In May 2002, the national average price of methanol rose to 1,800 to 2,000 yuan/ton. In March 2003, the price of methanol rose to 2,200~2,400 yuan/ton due to the impact of the international situation. From 2004 to 2005, the price of methanol was basically stable at 2,000 to 2,200 yuan/ton. Other coal chemical products, like methanol, are affected by the international market and have a chain reaction.
