Weekly Outlook for the Domestic Anhydrous Hydrofluoric Acid (AHF) Market (September 14, 2026)

I. Key Focus Points

1. The market atmosphere for 97% fluorspar powder is conflicted, with producers maintaining firm pricing sentiment. The sulfuric acid market shows mixed trends (some rising, some falling), while downstream demand remains sluggish.
2. In September, the mainstream delivered price for anhydrous hydrofluoric acid used in refrigerants ranges from RMB 15,000 to 15,200 per ton.
3. Major manufacturers in the East China fluorocarbon refrigerant market are maintaining firm quotes, and the upward trend remains unchanged.

Core Logic: Sulfuric acid prices are consolidating at high levels, providing continued cost support. However, significant contraction in demand indicates that negative factors are continuously transmitting through the market.

III. Market Outlook

Last week, the center of gravity for the domestic anhydrous hydrofluoric acid market shifted upwards. The market remained largely stable with minor fluctuations. Regional supply tightness persisted, particularly in northern markets where some production enterprises entered phased maintenance shutdowns, and there were no signals regarding restart times for major northern plants. Consequently, transaction prices for spot orders rose across the board. Producers faced difficulties in shipping goods, which further intensified bullish sentiment. The southern market remained generally stable; inquiries and quotes increased, but actual transactions were limited.
