In September and October, the supply will gradually recover, and at the same time, the new production capacity of Yuanxing Energy and Jinshan will be gradually released, and the price of soda ash may be under pressure.
In the second half of the year, the demand for heavy alkali increased, the consumption of light alkali did not change much, and the consumption of soda ash maintained a steady growth trend. In the second half of the year, the most important factor affecting the soda ash market is the supply side. In the context of the concentrated launch of new production capacity, the downward pressure on the soda ash market is relatively high, and the price may fluctuate downward.
