From price hedging to business upgrading, the ethylene glycol industry is exploring a new path of integration in the trial period.

Against the background of the deepening of the "Dual Carbon" strategy and the transformation and upgrading of the industry, China's ethylene glycol industry is undergoing a profound transformation from scale expansion to high-quality development. In a recent interview, it was found that in the face of challenges such as industry capacity expansion and intensified international competition, ethylene glycol futures and derivative tools have become an indispensable "hedging weapon" for enterprises in the industry chain. Industry chain enterprises actively use futures tools to build a hedging system, promote the pricing model from traditional spot to period combination, and upgrade their business philosophy from experiential judgment to systematic risk control. Some enterprises have effectively hedged market price fluctuations by innovatively using a three-dimensional risk control system of "spot + futures + options", exploring new paths for the high-quality development of the chemical industry.
