![DMF is in and out of trouble now that the double holiday season is over](http://www.brichem-tech.com/cdn/shop/articles/absolutvision-bSlHKWxxXak-unsplash_9ce42273-02ee-46f0-80ef-109e2af20d77.jpg?v=1697247041&width=533)
After the holiday season, the price of DMF has been fluctuating in China. The operating rate of DMF factories has remained stable, with some operating normally and others at reduced capacity. The industry's operating rate has increased compared to before the holiday, but inventory pressure continues to rise. Demand has been lower than expected, with downstream manufacturers still consuming pre-holiday stockpiles. As the price declines, some industries seek lower prices for restocking, leading to a small rebound in the market. However, the market is not sustainable due to inventory pressure. In the future, the DMF industry in China is expected to undergo reshuffling, with limited growth in downstream demand. The market is expected to consolidate and operate within a range.

The future market for cyclohexanone is predicted to undergo consolidation in the short term.
