Price trend:

Recently (4.18-4.24), according to the commodity analysis system of Business Society, the market average price of anhydrous calcium chloride with a 94% content is 1325 yuan/ton, which is the same as last week. During the week, the calcium chloride market was mainly focused on procurement for immediate needs, with average support for exports. Dealers often offered more discounts for shipments, and the cautious attitude of mid to downstream merchants still persists.

Supply side:

Recent price trend of hydrochloric acid: According to the commodity analysis system of Business Society, the domestic hydrochloric acid market price has increased by 5.41% (4.15-19), and the cost of raw material hydrochloric acid has slightly increased, but it has not yet caused significant pressure on the calcium chloride market. At present, the market price of calcium chloride is relatively stable, mainly due to its wide application demand and relatively sufficient supply chain.

On the demand side:

From the perspective of supply and demand, the market trend of calcium chloride remains stable, with both production and sales remaining normal. Although some production enterprises have attempted to adjust prices to adapt to changes in raw material costs, the overall market price has not experienced significant fluctuations, demonstrating strong resilience.

However, market participants generally hold a cautious attitude towards future price trends. Due to the increase in the cost of major raw materials such as hydrochloric acid, some enterprises may face cost pressure, which may have an impact on the production cost and final market price of calcium chloride.

Overall

Although the current price of calcium chloride is relatively stable, the market has entered a wait-and-see stage, hoping that the cost transmission mechanism can operate smoothly to determine the final market price direction. Market participants suggest closely monitoring cost changes and arranging production and procurement plans reasonably to cope with potential market changes.
