Analysis of the Supply and Demand Pattern in the Domestic Liquid Caustic Soda Market This Week
2025-1-3
This week, the domestic liquid caustic soda market has shown a slightly moderate performance. Some caustic soda enterprises have slightly adjusted their ex-factory quotations for liquid caustic soda according to their own inventory situations.
In terms of production, as the enterprises that underwent maintenance in the previous period have resumed production one after another, the production of domestic liquid caustic soda units has tended to be normal. The output has remained at a relatively high level, and the supply of goods in the market is sufficient. Most enterprises have a certain amount of inventory.
On the downstream side, the production of the downstream alumina industry is basically stable, and its ability to digest caustic soda remains at the level of last week. In January, the order prices for liquid caustic soda purchased by alumina enterprises in Henan and Shanxi regions declined, while the order prices for liquid caustic soda purchased by alumina enterprises in Guangxi region increased, which had different degrees of impact on the liquid caustic soda markets in local and surrounding areas. The downstream printing and dyeing, papermaking and other industries are in the traditional off-season for demand. The operating load of the units is insufficient, and they mainly make purchases based on the rigid demand for liquid caustic soda.
