Market Analysis

According to the SunSirs commodity analysis system, the market to sodium bicarbonate is currently consolidating at a low level, with manufacturers reporting steady shipment volumes. Prices in the Henan region remain stable, with ex-factory prices ranging from 1,100 to 1,200 RMB/ton, while ex-factory prices in the Shandong region range from 1,150 to 1,250 RMB/ton. As downstream buyers are primarily purchasing based on immediate needs, the market is expected to continue its consolidation direction in the near term.

Regarding raw materials: SunSirs data indicates a decline in soda ash prices during July. The average market price to light soda ash fell from 1,130 RMB/ton at the beginning of the month to approximately 1,100 RMB/ton by month-end—a decrease of 2.65% to the month and a drop of 15.51% compared to the same period last year.

Market Outlook:

Analysts at SunSirs observe that sodium bicarbonate prices have recently been consolidating at low levels. Upstream soda ash prices remained generally stable throughout April, while downstream sectors—including pharmaceuticals, textiles, and food—have largely been purchasing on an as-needed basis, with lukewarm demand. Amidst the tug-of-war between supply and demand, prices are expected to fluctuate in the near term, with the specific direction depending on downstream market demand.
