Some downstream refrigerant R22 enterprises’ parking and maintenance prices rose slightly, and their demand for chloroform was limited. In addition, the total production quota of R22 in 2023 was reduced by 19% to 181800 tons. In the medium and long term, it is difficult to improve the demand support for chloroform.
According to the methane chloride data analysts of the business society, the overall domestic demand support for chloroform is weak at present, and the supply side is expected to increase, so the chloroform market is expected to decline slightly in the later period.
