At the raw material end of R32, the market price of dichloromethane is weak and stable, while the price of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride is strong and the cost support is strong. At the supply end, some manufacturers stop for maintenance, and the supply shortage continues; On the demand side, R32 market enters the traditional peak season, domestic and foreign trade demand picks up steadily, and market price is firm and stable.

Recently, affected by the recovery of demand and the change of mentality of manufacturers, the refrigerant industry prosperity is higher.

The bargaining power of refrigerant manufacturers is significantly improved, and the industry profit is quickly restored. Industry insiders said that last year in order to compete for three generations of refrigerant quota, there is a price inversion, this year the enterprise no longer loss sales necessary, expected to improve. Among the main upstream raw materials for refrigerant, the price of fluorite took the lead in rising in March, reaching 3100 yuan/ton, which is at a relatively high level.
