Analysis review

In April, the price of domestic soda ash dropped by 3.99%, and the price of sulfur dropped largely by 32.5%. Pressed by the sharp decline in raw material costs, in May, domestic sodium metabisulfite manufacturers successively lowered the ex factory price of sodium metabisulfite, driving down the weak price of domestic sodium metabisulfite market this week. This week, the overall price of sodium pyrosulfite was in the range of 2,200-2,500 RMB/ton, with most prices around 2,200-2,300 RMB/ton. Downstream trading entities had a strong wait-and-see attitude, and enterprises mainly completed orders from old customers.

As of May 5, the price of domestic soda ash continued to be weak, falling 1.51% within the week, and the price of sulfur rebounded from the bottom, rising 6.02% within the week. In general, the cost of upstream raw materials of sodium metabisulfite was still at a low position, which will suppress the market price of sodium metabisulfite in the future.

Market outlook

Analysts from SunSirs believe that the cost of raw materials declined in a volatile way, and it is expected that the domestic market price of sodium metabisulfite will still have some room to fall in the short term.
