The market for anhydrous hydrogen fluoride remained stable this week. According to the analysis system of Business Society, as of February 6, the benchmark price of hydrogen fluoride was 13,066.67 yuan per ton, representing a slight increase of 0.26% compared to the previous month.
On the supply side, the price of raw material fluorspar experienced a minor increase this week, providing some cost support. Data from the Business Society analysis system shows that, as of February 6, the benchmark price of fluorspar was 3,425.00 yuan per ton, up by 0.18% from the beginning of the month (3,418.75 yuan per ton).
On the demand side, downstream industries entered a seasonal low, leading to a continued weakening in demand. Terminal operating rates have been adjusted downward. The largest downstream sector, the refrigerant industry, is facing soft overall demand as the year-end approaches, with production quotas nearly exhausted. Companies are primarily consuming existing inventories and making small, as-needed purchases. It is anticipated that anhydrous hydrogen fluoride prices may experience fluctuations and consolidation before the holiday season.
Market Outlook: While raw material fluorspar prices remain high, providing cost support, downstream demand remains weak, with purchases mainly driven by essential needs. Demand-side support is weakening. It is expected that anhydrous hydrogen fluoride prices will likely fluctuate and consolidate in the near term. Further attention should be paid to changes in market supply and demand dynamics.
