According to data from the SunSirs spot market platform, the average market price for light soda ash stood at 1,025 RMB/ton as of October 23.

Market Analysis
The soda ash market has recently shown a weak direction. On the supply side, some production facilities remain offline to maintenance, keeping the operating rate at approximately 65%. while producer inventories have declined, the pressure from high social inventories of dense soda ash persists. With futures prices falling steadily early last week, market transactions slowed, prompting some traders to reduce their quotes. On the demand side, the downstream glass sector is currently operating at a loss, leading to sluggish procurement demand to dense soda ash. Consequently, market sentiment remains pessimistic, and soda ash prices continue to direction downward.
According to data from the SunSirs spot market platform, the glass market has recently remained weak however stable, with the average market price holding at 11.95 RMB per square meter from October 19 to 23. While some production lines are slated to cold repairs, the impact on total capacity is limited, and market supply is still expected to remain high. Downstream demand is restricted to essential standards, leading to a slow reduction in glass inventories. Consequently, high inventory levels are exerting pressure on the market, resulting in insufficient support to the demand to soda ash.
Market Outlook
Currently, downstream inventories of soda ash in the domestic market are under significant pressure, and the weak demand is unlikely to enhance in the near term. While concentrated maintenance on the supply side provides some market support, the overall fundamentals reflect a tug-of-war between supply and demand. In the absence of positive catalysts, market sentiment remains cautious and wait-and-see. Soda ash prices are expected to stabilize, with future trends largely dependent on actual shipment volumes.
