2、 Market analysis

In March, the refrigerant R22 market was generally stable with little fluctuation, falling by 1.9% during the month. The price of raw material hydrofluoric acid was weak and stable this month, and the market of chloroform rose, which strengthened the support for refrigerant R22. In addition, public health events in various places intensified this month, affecting the entry of raw materials and the delivery of products, poor logistics, slow shipment speed of manufacturers and reduced market supply. Therefore, the price was strong. Near the end of the month, R22 price fell slightly. At present, the price of raw material hydrofluoric acid is mostly 10200-10500 yuan / ton, the price of chloroform is about 5250 yuan / ton, the market price of R22 is mostly in the range of 17000-18000 yuan / ton, the price in Shandong is about 17500 yuan / ton, the price in Zhejiang is about 17000-17500 yuan / ton, the price in Hunan is about 17500-18000 yuan / ton, and the price in Guangzhou is about 18000 yuan / ton.

Refrigerant R134a market declined in March, with a decrease of 8.48% in the month. The price of raw material hydrofluoric acid is weak and stable, the price of trichloroethylene is stable, the cost is under pressure, the demand of the car market is still weak, the market supply exceeds demand, coupled with the intensification of local public health events and poor logistics, the manufacturers are eager to clear the goods, the price is frequently reduced, and the mentality of the operators is negative.

In terms of raw materials, on March 28, the mainstream price of domestic anhydrous hydrofluoric acid manufacturers rose to 10200-10500 yuan / ton, and the ex factory price trend of on-site merchants rose. The operating rate of domestic hydrofluoric acid manufacturers was low, and the supply of on-site goods was tight. Recently, the price of fluorite rose steadily, medium and small. The price of raw fluorite was good for the domestic hydrofluoric acid market, but the downstream refrigerant market was depressed and the on-site procurement was not active, On the whole, the price trend of hydrofluoric acid is expected to rise in the later stage.

3、 Future forecast

According to the refrigerant analysts of business society, the public health incident in March affected the entry of raw materials and the delivery of products. The market trading was not smooth, and the refrigerant price fell. In the short term, R22 was supported by the cost and supply side, but the price was strong. R134a had high inventory pressure, continued to reduce prices and ship goods, and there was still a risk of decline in the short term.
