Analysis review

This week, the prices of chloroform and hydrofluoric acid in China remained stable, and the overall cost of raw materials stabilized. The market purchase and sales remained relatively stable, supporting the continued stable progress of domestic R22 market prices.

This week, the overall domestic price of hydrofluoric acid remained stable and the trend of raw material costs had stabilized. Previously, the rapid rise in refrigerant prices had to some extent suppressed terminal consumption. Some manufacturers had slightly lowered their factory prices to ensure shipment, leading to a slight decline in the price of domestic refrigerant R134a.

In terms of raw materials, the high price of domestic hydrofluoric acid was stabilizing, and the sustained high cost of raw materials will provide strong support for refrigerant prices.

Market outlook

SunSirs’ refrigerant analysts believe that the overall high cost of raw materials was stabilizing, the downstream demand for refrigerants was generally stable, and the market supply and demand were stable. In the short term, the domestic market prices of refrigerant R22 and R134a will continue to remain stable at the current level.
