January 30th — In 2025, China's cumulative import volume of caustic soda reached 8,900 tons, marking a year-on-year decrease of 45.1%. Chempricehub's analysis of caustic soda indicates a bullish-bearish score of 1. The 45.1% decline in caustic soda imports in 2025 suggests tightening domestic supply, which may drive up spot prices. Combined with recent futures contract data (e.g., the 2605 contract closing at 2,204 yuan per ton, up by 4 yuan), the market has responded positively to the reduced supply, supporting an upward trend in futures prices.
