This week, the market price of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride in China remained stable. According to the analysis system, as of November 6th, the benchmark price of hydrofluoric acid was 12,533.33 CNY per ton, remaining steady compared to the beginning of the month.

On the raw materials front: China's fluorite prices have slightly declined, weakening cost-side support. As of November 6, the benchmark fluorite price stood at 3,518.75 CNY per ton, down 0.53% from the beginning of this month (3,537.50 CNY per ton).

On the demand side: Downstream sectors are facing the traditional off-season, resulting in weak demand and insufficient overall consumption capacity. Purchasing decisions remain primarily driven by immediate needs. Many players are adopting a wait-and-see approach, leading to lower procurement enthusiasm. Overall, demand for hydrogen fluoride remains relatively weak, and the market is expected to stabilize—at least temporarily—at subdued levels in the near term.

Market Forecast: Raw material fluorite prices are declining, weakening cost support. Additionally, downstream industries are entering the traditional off-season, leading to weak demand—driven primarily by essential purchasing needs rather than speculative activity. Overall, this suggests that downstream consumption capacity remains insufficient. As a result, the anhydrous hydrogen fluoride market is expected to remain predominantly stable with a slight downward trend in the near term. Further monitoring of market supply and demand dynamics will be crucial.
