The domestic trichloromethane market experienced a slight decline in September. According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, as of September 28th, the price of trichloromethane water in Shandong Province was 1883 yuan/ton, a decrease of 3.42% from 1950 yuan/ton at the beginning of September.

The price of raw material methanol fluctuated and consolidated, while the price of liquid chlorine remained weak and consolidated. The cost support for trichloromethane was relatively weak. As the high temperature weather passes, the demand for downstream R22 has slowed down; The market for trichloromethane has slightly declined.
In September, domestic methane chloride facilities were basically stable, and as of September 28th, methane chloride production had started at around 8.7%.
In September, the prices of raw material methanol were adjusted narrowly, and the prices of liquid chlorine were adjusted weakly. The cost support for trichloromethane was relatively weak. According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, as of September 28th, the spot price of methanol was 2257 yuan/ton, an increase of 0.19% from 2253 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month; As of September 28th, the price of liquid chlorine tank trucks in Shandong region is around -50 yuan/ton.
In September, downstream refrigerant R22 experienced a slowdown in demand and a decrease in price due to the passing of high temperature weather, which weakened the support for the demand for trichloromethane. In addition, the R22 quota has been decreasing year by year, which has a negative impact on trichloromethane in the medium and long term. In 2013, the baseline production quota for second-generation refrigerants in China was 426400 tons. After multiple pressure drops, it will be reduced to 163600 tons by 2025. Among them, the production quotas for R22, R142b, and R141b are 149100 tons, 0.34 tons, and 0.92 tons, respectively.
The methane chloride data analyst from Shengyi Society believes that the cost support for trichloromethane is relatively weak; The peak season is gradually coming to an end, and the demand for downstream refrigerant R22 is slowing down. The support for chloroform demand in the later period is limited, and it is expected that the chloroform market will be mainly weakly consolidated in the later period.
