These days, there has been no adjustment in the calcium carbide market in Ningxia, with the average price remaining at the previous level. At the current stage, the mainstream ex-factory price of local first-class calcium carbide is between 2950-3000 yuan/ton, with slight changes in transaction prices due to differences in downstream customers and transportation distances. The operating load of local carbide manufacturers remains low. Due to the spring inspection of power lines, some carbide furnaces have temporarily stopped working when these manufacturers engage in smooth sales. However, the increased sales volume of some integrated carbide and the impact of no improvement in demand from PVC downstream enterprises pose great challenges to the recovery of the local carbide market, resulting in a wait-and-see sentiment among industry insiders.
