Technical material Insecticide Market Update — March 23, 2026
Mar 23,2026
This week, the domestic pesticide technical materials market was influenced by a combination of external factors and internal industry risks, but the overall trend remained upward. Internationally, geopolitical conflicts continued to disrupt the global energy supply chain, with frequent fluctuations in the prices of basic energy sources such as crude oil. This directly pushed up the cost of raw materials for pesticide technical materials production, becoming a core external variable affecting product pricing. Domestically, recent safety incidents in the nitration process have raised serious concerns within the industry, leading to stricter production controls on related highly sensitive processes. This has resulted in uncertainty regarding the release of production capacity for some technical materials that rely on nitration, putting significant pressure on the supply side. Meanwhile, the recently concluded CAC Global Agrochemical Exhibition, serving as an industry bellwether, brought together domestic and international suppliers and buyers. The global procurement demands, new product development dynamics, and trade cooperation signals released during the exhibition provided crucial references for short-term technical material market sentiment and medium- to long-term market trends. Under the combined effect of these multiple factors, prices, transaction volumes, and inventories of various technical materials fluctuated significantly this week, with many manufacturers refraining from quoting prices or accepting orders.
