2、 Market analysis
In February, the refrigerant R22 market fluctuated little. After the Spring Festival, due to the small fluctuation of raw materials, some refrigerant enterprises returned to work after the Lantern Festival. The enterprise’s offer was multidimensional and held the state before the festival. The trading atmosphere was not active, and the prices of some enterprises were slightly adjusted. After the Lantern Festival, the dealers basically returned to the market. The raw materials hydrofluoric acid and chloroform are stable, and the cost support is OK, but the export and domestic sales are still poor. The downstream demand support is general, but the manufacturer supports the price and supports the increase of R22 price. At present, the price of raw material hydrofluoric acid is mostly 11340 yuan / ton, the price of chloroform is about 5100 yuan / ton, and the market quotation of R22 is mostly 17000-18000 yuan / ton, The quotation in Shandong is about 17500 yuan / ton, that in Zhejiang is about 17000-17500 yuan / ton, that in Hunan is about 17500-18000 yuan / ton, and that in Guangzhou is about 18000 yuan / ton,
The market of refrigerant R134a was strong in February, with little adjustment in the first half of the month and steady upward in the second half of the month. After the festival, the price of raw material hydrofluoric acid is temporarily stable, while the price of trichloroethylene is high and the cost support is strong. However, due to the drag of demand, the market transaction atmosphere is poor, the enterprise sales are under pressure, which slightly affects the warehouse, and the enterprise mainly waits on the market. According to the data of business agency, the market quotation of R134a is in the range of 25000-30000 yuan / ton, that of Zhejiang is about 25500-26000 yuan / ton, that of Hunan is about 25500-26000 yuan / ton, that of Jiangsu is about 27000-30000 yuan / ton, and that of Guangzhou is about 27000 yuan / ton.
In terms of raw materials, the price trend of domestic hydrofluoric acid declined in February. As of the end of the month, the mainstream price negotiated by various regions of domestic hydrofluoric acid was 10500-11000 yuan / ton, and the quotation of some manufacturers was higher than the market price. The actual transaction price on the floor this week mainly declined. Recently, the domestic spot supply of hydrofluoric acid was normal, but the downstream acceptance was not high, and the market price trend of hydrofluoric acid declined slightly.
3、 Future forecast
According to the refrigerant analysts of business society, with the cost support in February, the prices of refrigerants R22 and R134a rose steadily, but the demand is still weak, which restrained the sharp rise of R22 and R134a prices. It is expected that R22 and R134a are still expected to rise, but the range is limited.
