The Chairman of the China Soda Ash Industry Association told the production and market supply of the soda ash industry in 2007 and 2008.
1. In 2007, China produced a total of 1,720 tons of soda ash, which was 1.9 million tons more than in 2006, an increase of 12.4%, which is the highest level of annual production increase. In 2007, a total of 1.7 million tons of soda ash was exported, 110,000 tons less than in 2006, and 40,000 tons of soda ash was imported, 100,000 tons less than in 2006. In 2007, the amount of soda ash sold domestically was 15.54 million tons, an increase of 1.91 million tons over 2006, an increase of 14.01%.
2. The market price of soda ash in 2007 rose month by month. The increase in the first half of the year was about 20-30 yuan. Ton/month. The third quarter reached 30-60 yuan. Ton/month. The fourth quarter saw an acceleration of the rising trend, reaching 80-100 yuan. . T/month or more. The average annual soda ash market price is 1550-1650 yuan/ton, the light alkali price at the end of the year is 1850-1900 yuan/ton, and the heavy alkali price is 2100-2300 yuan/ton, which is about 25% higher than the price in 2006.
3. In 2007, the downstream industries, especially flat glass and daily-use glass, used alkali-producing large-scale industries (the use of alkali in these two industries was about half of the country's soda ash production). The increase in production was relatively large. Soda ash supply at home and abroad was in short supply.
4. The main reasons for the soaring soda ash market price are as follows: First, the domestic and foreign markets are in strong demand, and the production of downstream industries is growing rapidly; second, the prices of energy and raw materials continue to rise, and the production cost of soda ash is also increased, leading to an annual increase in soda ash prices. . However, generally speaking, before the third quarter, especially in the first half of the year, the prices were relatively stable. After the fourth quarter, prices rose sharply.
5. In 2008, the country's soda ash production is expected to reach 990,000 tons, 2.76 million tons more than in 2007, and domestic production will be 18.31 million tons, an increase of 18.72%.
6. The snowstorm in the south has little effect on the soda production and market. The provinces affected by the soda plant are Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangsu. The most seriously affected disaster was in Hunan Province. The three alkali plants in the province were all suspended from late January to early February, affecting production of about 30,000 tons; the Hubei three soda plants were in urgent need of transportation raw coal before the Spring Festival and the stock of products increased. Production was not affected; five alkali plants in Jiangsu reduced the production load due to coal and electricity, affecting production of about 60,000 tons. At present, soda ash enterprises affected by the snow disaster have gradually resumed normal production.
7. The market price of soda ash in 2008 will still be operating at a high level. As energy, raw materials and transportation are still operating at high prices or continue to raise prices, the price of PPI is still rising year-on-year, and the pressure on production costs of soda ash will not be eased or even further increased. At the same time, in the face of strong market demand at home and abroad, in 2008 the overall production and sales of soda ash were basically balanced, but the market supply was tight. The soda ash prices were relatively low in May-May, and the soda ash plants entered the annual overhaul period from June to September. Soda ash stocks gradually decreased. After October, new plants were put into operation one after another, and the soda ash market would increase in volume, but the demand was also corresponding. increase. In summary, the average price of soda ash in 2008 is expected to be around RMB 2,200-2,600/ton, and market fluctuations are unavoidable, but efforts are made to avoid price volatility.
