What is the market price trend of 4-Methylcinnamic Acid?

4-Methyl cinnamic acid, the price trend in the market, is related to various reasons. First, the state of its production. If there are many producers, the production capacity is sufficient, and the supply exceeds the demand, the price will decline. On the contrary, if the raw materials are scarce and the craftsmanship is difficult to cause the production to decline, the supply is not enough, and the price will rise.
Furthermore, the scene of need. In the pharmaceutical, fragrance, cosmetics and other industries, it is an important material. The development of medicine and the emergence of new fragrances have led to a strong demand, and the price may rise. If the industry is quiet, the demand is weak, and the price is difficult to revive.
In addition, the price of raw materials. Its synthesis is related to raw materials. If the price of raw materials rises, the cost rises, and the price of 4-methyl cinnamic acid also rises; if the price of raw materials falls, the cost decreases, and the price may decline.
And market competition also affects its price. There are many competing products, each wants to occupy the market, or reduce the price to compete for the market; if there is no strong competition, the price may rise steadily.
In addition, changes in political regulations and taxes are all related to the price. Environmental protection regulations are strict, and the cost of production increases, and the price is pushed up; tax reduction, profit reduction, or price reduction.
In summary, the market price trend of 4-methyl cinnamic acid is due to the intertwining of supply and demand, cost, competition, and political regulations. It is difficult to determine the trend of its price.
