Market outlook

In the middle and early February, the domestic sulfuric acid market may fall slightly in shock. The upstream sulfur market has been fluctuating and falling recently, and the cost support has weakened. The market of hydrofluoric acid, ammonium sulfate and titanium dioxide in the downstream market has been consolidated at a low level, and the enthusiasm of downstream customers to purchase sulfuric acid has weakened, and the product trend has declined under the contradiction between supply and demand. The sulfuric acid analyst of SunSirs believes that in the short term, the domestic sulfuric acid market price may fall slightly in shock due to the impact of supply and demand and raw materials.
