One-Week Outlook for the Domestic Wet Fluorite Powder Market

Published on 2026-10-26

I. Key Focus Points

  1. Market sentiment for 97% wet fluorite powder across the board remains conflicted, with limited trading activity.
  2. The mainstream contract delivered price for anhydrous hydrofluoric acid in October is referenced at RMB 14,500–14,800 per ton; in the Shandong market, the mainstream contract delivered price is referenced at RMB 14,760–15,000 per ton.
  3. Major producers of Fluorinated refrigerant R32 maintain firm offers, with operating rates hovering around 40–50%.

Core Logic: Chemical raw materials in the fluorine industry are currently characterized by cautious wait-and-see attitudes. Overall supply remains tight in the short term, while persistent demand decline continues to weigh on market participants' sentiment.

III. Market Outlook

Last week, the domestic market for 97% fluorite concentrate was generally sluggish. On the supply side, rising production costs in northern markets have strengthened holders' resolve to maintain prices, while southern markets continue to face long-term constraints due to mining operations, resulting in persistently tight supply. On the demand side, negative factors from end-use demand continue to propagate through the chain, export markets show little sign of rebound, and sulfuric acid exerts reverse pressure, deepening the downward pricing pressure on the demand side. Current spot delivered prices across various domestic regions are referenced as follows: Inner Mongolia at RMB 3,300–3,400 per ton; Zhejiang at RMB 3,500–3,600 per ton; Jiangxi and Fujian at RMB 3,700–3,750 per ton; Shandong at RMB 3,550–3,650 per ton; Northwest regions at RMB 3,400–3,450 per ton; Henan and Anhui at RMB 3,450–3,500 per ton. As of press time, the mainstream delivered price for domestic wet fluorite powder is referenced at RMB 3,300–3,750 per ton.

    Fluorite supply stays tight while downstream demand remains weak, squeezing margins for HF producers. With R32 operating rates low but offers firm, the market is in a cautious wait-and-see mode. I expect limited volatili..
