Since March, the start of methane chloride unit has risen slightly. Trichloromethane supply pressure increases.
Since March, the price of raw material methanol has declined slightly, and the cost support of trichloromethane has weakened. According to the business news agency, the spot price of methanol was 2640 yuan/ton as of March 14, down 3.47% from 2735 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month. The international crude oil price has dropped sharply in the past two days, combined with the overall stability and small fluctuation of the domestic coal market, the methanol price will not rise significantly in the near future, and the cost of chloroform is expected to be stable and weak.
On the one hand, the total production quota of R22 will be reduced by 19% to 181800 tons in 2023. On the other hand, since the arrival of the traditional peak season in March, the price of R22 will continue to rise and there will be a replenishment demand for chloroform. However, the overall demand will continue to decrease compared with previous years due to the reduction of the quota.
According to the methane chloride data analyst of the Business News Agency, although the demand side of chloroform is currently supported, the supply side has become loose, and the price of raw materials has fallen, so it is expected that the market of chloroform will consolidate in a narrow range in the short term.
