ChemPriceHub Key Alert: China's Liquid Caustic Soda Exports Surge by 32.1%

In 2025, China's cumulative export volume of liquid caustic soda reached 3.4296 million tons, representing a year-on-year increase of 32.1%. PriceSeek's analysis of caustic soda indicates a bullish-bearish score of +1.5. The 32.1% year-on-year growth in China's liquid caustic soda exports in 2025 reflects a strong increase in international market demand for caustic soda, driving tighter spot supply. It is anticipated that spot prices will rise accordingly. Additionally, based on the latest futures data, the main caustic soda futures contract (e.g., the 2605 contract closed at 2,204 yuan per ton, up 4.00%) shows a stable upward trend. The expectation of continued demand growth is expected to further support the upward movement of futures prices. The bullish-bearish score of +1.5 reflects a significant positive impact.
