The market of calcium carbide is rising rapidly, the price rises surprisingly

This week, the domestic market of CALCIUM carbide is rising rapidly, and the price rise is amazing. The cumulative increase in most regions has exceeded 400 CNY/ton. In order to ensure its own operating rate, downstream chlor alkali enterprises have increased their prices. However, some chlor alkali enterprises are forced to reduce the production load due to the lack of Calcium Carbide supply. At present, the price of calcium carbide in Northeast China is 4000-4050 CNY/ton; that in Northwest China is 3450-3600 CNY/ton; that in North China is 3900-4100 CNY/ton; that in Central China is 3800-4000 CNY/ton; and that in Southwest China is 3700-3950 CNY/ton. According to the analysis of the insiders, the main factors affecting the calcium carbide Market in the future are as follows: first, the supply of raw materials. Recently, it has been learned that due to the shortage of raw material ash supply in some areas, the overall starting load of calcium carbide enterprises is not high. This undoubtedly makes the situation of domestic Calcium Carbide supply tight more severe. Secondly, the bottom line of downstream enterprises. Due to the rapid price rise of calcium carbide in the near future, the shipment of various calcium carbide enterprises is extremely smooth, which makes some enterprises have started to have high quotation without goods. In the face of the sluggish performance of PVC market, it remains to be seen whether chlor alkali enterprises can continue to be subject to high purchase prices. As far as the current situation is concerned, the price rise of domestic calcium carbide has become irrational. However, in the context that downstream PVC enterprises still urgently need calcium carbide, it is expected that the price of domestic calcium carbide will stabilize at a high level.
