Market outlook

Analysts from SunSirs believe that the price of sodium bicarbonate had been weak in recent times, while the upstream raw material soda ash had temporarily stabilized. Downstream pharmaceutical, textile, food and other sectors of sodium bicarbonate had recently made more purchases according to demand, replenishing inventory in an appropriate amount, without any positive support. It is expected that sodium bicarbonate prices will mainly fluctuate in the later stage, depending on downstream market demand.
