According to the commodity market analysis system of the business community, the Aluminium chlorohydrate market steadily declined slightly in the first ten days of July: China’s solid (industrial grade, content ≥ 28%) Aluminium chlorohydrate market reported about 1721 yuan/ton at the beginning of this month, and 1712 yuan/ton on the 10th, a decline of only 0.51%. The operating rate of water treatment enterprises in the main production areas of China has a certain impact under the high temperature, but the market inventory is sufficient, and the downstream procurement demand continues to be general, so the transaction is not good, and the Aluminium chlorohydrate market continues to be weak.

As shown in the figure, at the beginning of the third quarter of 2023, the domestic market decline of Aluminium chlorohydrate was slightly larger than that at the end of June, but much smaller than that in the middle of June.

Raw Material Hydrochloric Acid: According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Business Society, the domestic price of hydrochloric acid increased from around 173 yuan/ton to around 176 yuan/ton in early July. It is expected that the market price of hydrochloric acid will mainly fluctuate and fall in a narrow range in mid to late July. The upstream liquid chlorine market is consolidating at a low level, with average cost support. The downstream product market is consolidating at a low level, with weak purchasing willingness. Analysis suggests that the hydrochloric acid market has recently experienced a slight fluctuation and decline.

Liquefied natural gas for production. According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of the Business Society, the domestic liquefied natural gas market rose first and then slightly in early July. Among them, the average price of liquefied natural gas in China on the 1st was 4296 yuan/ton, and on the 10th it was 4066 yuan/ton, a decrease of 5.35% in ten days.

Future forecast: In the near future, the raw material market has slightly adjusted, the fuel LNG market is weak, and the Aluminium chlorohydrate cost support changes slightly. Although the operating rate of domestic Aluminium chlorohydrate manufacturers is affected by high temperature, the supply of goods on the market is still sufficient due to poor downstream demand. With regard to the future market, the analysis believes that the market of Aluminium chlorohydrate will remain stable and slightly weak.
