Analysis review

In recent times, the domestic industrial grade 85% formic acid market has experienced limited fluctuations, with many companies shipping according to market conditions and quoting prices ranging from 3,200-3,500 RMB/ton. Recently, the sulfur content in the raw material sulfuric acid market has risen from a low point to a high point by 323.5 RMB/ton to 682.5 RMB/ton, an increase of 90.11%.

Market outlook

The formic acid analyst from SunSirs believes that the cost support still existed, and the supply and demand performance was average. It is expected that the domestic industrial grade formic acid market will stabilize and consolidate in the short term, and more attention should be paid to changes in demand.
