Potassium carbonate

In 2021, the market of potassium carbonate keeps rising. It can be seen from the above figure that the potassium carbonate market was on the rise in 11 months of the year. Only September was down, and the highest increase was in July, with the highest increase of 13.4%. The rise of the potassium carbonate market is mainly due to the tight market supply. Since June, the potassium carbonate market has been in short supply, most of which are concentrated in the hands of large traders, holding their plates and reluctant to sell. The transaction of new orders in the market is limited, there is a state of price without market in some regions, and the market has soared all the way. Later, large domestic manufacturers resumed production, but mainly delivered early orders, the market supply was still not abundant, the decline of potassium carbonate market was limited, and the price continued to remain high.

In 2021, the market of potassium chloride showed a trend of shock and rise. Throughout 2021, the available spot in the domestic potassium chloride market is in short supply. Although the production enterprises are fully engaged in production, the operating rate is slightly low and the self-sufficiency rate is insufficient. At the same time, the delivery of international potassium fertilizer suppliers is delayed and the arrival at the port is limited. Domestic inventory has been low and the market remains high. The strong market of potassium chloride supports the cost of potassium carbonate.

Recently, the domestic potash fertilizer market has been weak and the market demand is light. It is expected that the price of potassium carbonate will mainly fall in the short term, and the long-term market still needs to wait and see.
