1、 Price trend

According to the monitoring data of business agency, on August 31, the average price of refrigerant R22 was 17500.00 yuan / ton, up 2.94% from the price of 17000.00 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month, down 10.26% from the same period last year

According to the monitoring data of business agency, on August 31, the average price of refrigerant R134a was 24333.33 yuan / ton, up 8.15% from the price of 22500.00 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month, up 8.96% from the same period last year.

2、 Market analysis

In August, the overall operation of refrigerant R22 was relatively strong, and the quoted prices of enterprises continued to rise. The price of raw material chloroform rose by 4.63% in the whole month, while hydrofluoric acid fell by 0.09% in the whole month. The raw material cost rebounded slightly. Supported by cost and demand, the price of R22 continued to rise.

In August, the price of upstream raw material hydrofluoric acid was generally weak and stable, and the price of trichloroethylene increased by nearly 10% in the whole month. In addition, summer is the peak season of traditional demand for refrigerants, and the price of domestic refrigerant R134a continued to rise in August under the support of cost recovery and constant demand.

In terms of raw materials, the domestic hydrofluoric acid price in August recovered slightly after the overall weakness stabilized. The small rise in the cost of upstream raw materials will support the price of R134a in the future.

3、 Future forecast

According to the refrigerant analyst of business news agency, the cost of raw materials is rising as a whole. In August, some domestic enterprises shut down for maintenance, resulting in the overall low inventory of enterprises. The overall downstream demand remains unchanged. Under the support of cost and demand, it is expected that the domestic R22 and R134a prices will continue to operate strongly in September.
