2、 Market analysis

The price of refrigerant R22 rose slightly in May. In the first half of the month, the price trend was relatively stable. In the second half of the month, driven by the rising price of raw material methane chloride, the quotation of enterprises increased steadily. Near the end of the month, the number of enterprises increased and the market center moved up. With the increase of temperature, the downstream demand has increased to a certain extent, but due to the influence of environmental protection policies and other factors, the demand has not increased significantly, so it is difficult to support the sharp rise of R22 price. As of the 25th, R22 market quotation was mainly in the range of 15600-17500 yuan / ton, Shandong quotation was about 16800-17500 yuan / ton, Zhejiang quotation was about 15600-16800 yuan / ton, Hunan quotation was about 15800-16300 yuan / ton, Shanghai quotation was about 16500 yuan / ton, Shanxi quotation was about 17000 yuan / ton, and prices in various regions were stable and rising.

In May, refrigerant R134a market was generally stable, with some rising., The price of raw material hydrofluoric acid fell, but the trichloroethylene market heard that the price continued to rise, the cost side support was strong, the R134a market was strong, the current demand for vehicles was relatively stable, the offer of goods holders was high, and the trading center moved up. At present, R134a market quotation is mostly in the range of 23000-25000 yuan / ton, Zhejiang quotation is about 23000-25000 yuan / ton, Hunan quotation is about 23000-23500 yuan / ton, Jiangsu quotation is about 23500-25000 yuan / ton, Shanxi quotation is about 24500 yuan / ton, Shanghai quotation is about 24000 yuan / ton, the price center of each region moves up.

The operating rate of domestic hydrofluoric acid manufacturers was normal, and the supply of goods in the yard was stable. Affected by the high price of fluorite, the market of downstream refrigerants was temporarily stable in the near future, and mainly purchased on demand in the yard. It is expected that the price in the yard will decline slightly in the later stage.

Trichloromethane, on May 25, the market of methane chloride in Shandong was sorted out, and the quotation of manufacturers was adjusted. The main factory quotation of dichloromethane was about 4050 ~ 4060 yuan / ton, and the main factory quotation of trichloromethane was about 4170 ~ 4250 yuan / ton.

3、 Future forecast

Refrigerant analysts of business news agency believe that the current rise in raw material prices supports the rise in refrigerant prices. With the increase in temperature, the downstream demand has increased to a certain extent, and the support is fair. It is expected that R22 and R134a will still be strong in the short term, and there is no lack of upward expectations.
