Since October this year, not only the price of calcium chloride has risen continuously like other bulk chemical products, but also the supply and demand of goods are particularly tight, what is the reason for this situation, and how is the price of calcium chloride expected to rise in winter? This is a problem encountered by many traders and customers.
Calcium chloride is an inorganic salt chemical product that is widely used in food, feed, industry and daily life. Among them, there are many uses in industrial applications, widely used in industrial refrigeration, drying, construction, metallurgy, petroleum, coal mines, paper and other industries. Especially as antifreeze and snow melting agent, not only is the domestic municipal and high-speed related units in winter demand relatively large, the annual export volume of calcium chloride is also very large!
In 2020, China's total production capacity of calcium chloride is about 2.461 million tons. China's customs data show that in recent years, China's calcium chloride exports have remained at nearly 900,000 tons / year. Although the import volume of calcium chloride in 2020 increased by 73.14% year-on-year compared with January-December 2019, it was only 0.12 million tons.
Therefore, the export business of calcium chloride is still an important factor affecting the price changes of China's calcium chloride market, and in 2021, under the influence of inflation expectations in the international economy, the export business of calcium chloride has also soared.
Since September 2021, the implementation of the national "dual control" power rationing policy and the soaring price of coal, the production capacity of calcium chloride with coal energy as the structure will be greatly reduced, and the production cost will increase, which will stimulate the tight supply and demand situation in the market to a certain extent. With the arrival of the winter antifreeze and snow thaw demand peak season market, calcium chloride prices will naturally continue to rise.
