The domestic dichloromethane market remained largely stable yesterday. Overall dispatch volumes from enterprises weakened, with southern regions underperforming Shandong. Poor transaction feedback was reported in areas such as Jiangxi and Guangdong. In Shandong, production-sales balance remained fragile. Corporate inventories declined to a medium level, but the pressure to clear stocks before the holiday persists.
