Analysis review

In April, due to the continued weak prices of upstream raw materials, some enterprises lowered the factory price of sodium metabisulfite again, driving the domestic market price of sodium metabisulfite to continue to be weak. This week, the domestic industrial grade sodium metabisulfite market price range was 2,000-2,150 RMB/ton. The inventory of the enterprise was about 30%, and the enterprise mainly completed orders from old customers.

As of April 7th, domestic soda ash prices had been operating weakly, with an overall decline of 1.03%. Sulfur prices had slightly rebounded, with an overall increase of 2.80%. Overall, raw material costs were still at a low level, and the decline in soda ash prices had slowed down. Raw material costs were fluctuating forward, and the weak trend of sodium metabisulfite prices in the future is expected to stabilize.

Market outlook

Analysts from SunSirs believe that raw material costs were fluctuating at a low level, and downstream purchases and sales were cautious overall. In the short term, the domestic market price of sodium metabisulfite is under pressure to recover.
