Business Society’s Market Outlook for Soda Ash on August 14, 2026: Volatile but Tending Toward Stronger Consolidation

ECHEMI 2026-08-15

Recently, the price of heavy soda ash has remained at a low level of 1090 CNY/ton. The average difference indicator shows a trend of positive convergence. Additionally, the 60-day, 3-month, and 1-year cycles are all in a low range, indicating that the room for further decline is very limited. In the short term, it may enter a phase of consolidation with a slightly stronger bias. Subsequently, attention should be paid to the impact of changes in the supply of upstream industrial salt and raw salt, as well as the demand for downstream products such as glass and baking soda, on market trends.

The price of heavy soda ash is in the low range for 60-day, 3-month, and 1-year periods, with limited room for decline and a solid foundation for bottom support.
