2、 Market analysis

Refrigerant R22 fundamentals did not fluctuate much this week. The raw material trichloromethane continued to decline in October, the overall hydrofluoric acid bottomed out slightly in October, and the raw material cost continued to fluctuate at a low level. The lower reaches of the river had a strong wait-and-see attitude as a whole. With the difficulty of refrigerant enterprises in shipping, the cost was suppressed, and some enterprises in November lowered the factory price slightly, driving the domestic R22 price down slightly.

In October, the price of upstream raw material hydrofluoric acid rebounded slightly from the bottom, the price of trichloroethylene fell by nearly 10%, the cost of raw materials continued to operate at a low level, and the downstream had a strong wait-and-see attitude. The price of refrigerant R134a decreased slightly in early November.

In terms of raw materials, the overall trend of domestic hydrofluoric acid price rebounded in October, and the rebound of hydrofluoric acid price will play a certain role in supporting domestic refrigerant prices in the future. Affected by the slack season of refrigerant demand in the fourth quarter, the overall supporting role is limited.

3、 Future market forecast

Refrigerant analysts from the business community believe that the price of domestic refrigerant R22 and R134a still has some room to fall under the pressure of cost and demand in the short term.
