At present, the calcium carbide market has remained stable in Ningxia without significant price fluctuations. At this stage, as the mainstream ex-factory price of local first-class calcium carbide is 3400-3500 yuan/ton, the price varies slightly with different customers. Local calcium carbide enterprises have fared well in sales, free from inventory pressure. However, in view of the expected weakening of the semi-coke market and the affordability of the downstream PVC production enterprises, those manufacturers mostly hold a wait-and-see attitude, quoting the price at the early level.
