III. Market Outlook

Last week, the domestic anhydrous hydrofluoric acid market was characterized by strong wait-and-see sentiment. Trading activity and negotiation atmosphere declined compared to earlier periods. On the supply side, most producers maintained high operating loads, resulting in objective profit margins. On the demand side, uncertainty factors within the market previously, combined with loose raw material prices at high levels, led to slightly insufficient confidence regarding future prospects. Industry players remain bearish in the long term, and the atmosphere of regional supply tightness has truly desensitized.
