秋季检修前置效应显著 甲醇秋检通常集中在8—10月，与春检形成互补。近年来，春检规模持续缩减导致检修需求后移，部分装 置因未能及时维护而出现计划外停车，企业不得不在秋季加大检修力度，形成"秋检前置"现象。2024年就 曾出现因春检推迟而导致秋检规模扩大的情况，2025年这一趋势仍在延续，从甲醇月度检修损失量中可见 一斑，特别是在2025年新增产能有限、实际可流通量不足的背景下，秋检对供应的收缩效应更为显著。 三季度，甲醇期货主力合约基本在2400元／吨附近维持区间震荡。从市场影响因素看，一方面，高库存压 力持续压制现货市场，对价格形成明显拖累；另一方面，内地价格保持坚挺，以及四季度下游新增装置投 产，给市场带来一定支撑。 MTO需求方面，山东联泓正在洽谈供应长约，预计10月开始备货。其烯烃新装置计划四季度投产，甲醇需 完全外采，届时将对甲醇需求形成拉动。此外，内地MTO装置的不定期外采也为需求提供一定支撑。 传统需求方面，受益于旺盛的出口，2025年四季度是醋酸和MTBE新装置的密集投放期。这些装置不仅以 外购甲醇为主要原料，且投产规模大、运行稳定，形成的需求增量将对甲醇市场构成显著支撑。此外，临 近冬季，甲 ...
