Cause analysis

Industrial chain: upstream, domestic adipic acid is short both in cost and supply and demand this month, and the price of raw materials is lower. The supply is affected by the expected temperature rise of plant restart, dragging down the market price. Adiponitrile has not improved much. The loss of production capacity of large international factories and the shortage of overseas transportation capacity are still affecting the market, and the supply shortage has not improved. Due to the high dependence on imports of adiponitrile, most domestic PA66 enterprises have operated at a low production load for a long time.

The upstream raw material adipic acid is weakly stable, the change of adiponitrile is limited, and the cost end support of PA66 is weakened. At present, there is no change in the operating rate of the industry compared with the previous period, the tight pattern of adiponitrile remains unchanged, and the operating rate of domestic PA66 industry continues to be low. Due to the shortage of inventories in various ports, the impact of international health events, the lack of overseas systematic transportation capacity, and the long-term shortage of domestic arrival, the boost effect of the recent rise of remote upstream crude oil has also been flattened. In terms of demand, buyers follow up slowly with goods, there is great resistance to high price goods, the seller’s mentality is loose, and the offer is weak.

Future forecast

Business analysts believe that the spot price of PA66 fell in December. The shortage of adiponitrile at the raw material end did not improve, and the adipic acid market fell. PA66 enterprise has a low overall load due to lack of raw materials, and the supply side supports the spot. However, downstream users have a deep resistance to high price sources, and the trading atmosphere on the floor is poor. It is expected that PA66 may continue to operate in a weak adjustment in the near future.

2、 Market analysis

In 2021, the salicylic acid market was supported by the rise of raw materials and double control of energy consumption, and the price rose steadily. In the first quarter, due to the rising price of raw material phenol, strong demand before and after the Spring Festival, increased enthusiasm for inquiry, good trading atmosphere, full opening of salicylic acid manufacturers, no pressure on inventory, traders actively entering the market, and prices continued to rise. In the second quarter, the price of raw materials continued to rise, supported by the cost of salicylic acid, but there were many changes in the international situation, which had a certain impact on the export of salicylic acid. Due to the limited power policy in some downstream areas in China, the operating load decreased slightly, and the price of salicylic acid began to decline slightly. In the third quarter, the demand in the off-season was expected to decrease, but the raw materials continued to rise. In addition, some salicylic acid enterprises stopped for maintenance, the cost supply support was strong, and the salicylic acid market rose. In the fourth quarter, the prices of raw materials phenol and liquid alkali rose. In addition, the downstream goods preparation started at the end of the year, and the demand gradually increased. The salicylic acid enterprises shipped well and the price rose. By the end of the year, the quotation of domestic salicylic acid industrial enterprises was mostly in the range of 14900-19200 yuan / ton, the quotation of pharmaceutical grade was mostly in the range of 24000-27000 yuan / ton, and the quotation of sublimation grade was mostly in the range of 19500-23000 yuan / ton.

According to the monthly increase and decrease from December 1, 2020 to November 30, 2021, the salicylic acid market generally shows an upward trend in 2021. From the above figure, it can be seen that salicylic acid has increased or slightly increased in seven months and decreased or stabilized in other months. The increase and decrease in October is the largest, the highest point of the whole year is December, the average price is 16833.33 yuan / ton, and the lowest point of the whole year is January 5, The average price is 13933.33 yuan / ton, showing a steady upward trend.

The largest increase was 14.1% in June and 3.98% in September. The rise of potassium nitrate Market is mainly due to the fact that the trading market is in a state of supply exceeding demand. In order to control the supply of goods, large traders are reluctant to sell. The overall transaction in the market is slow and the market rises sharply. After August, the tight supply of goods in the market has eased. Among them, a small number of large traders ship goods, and potassium nitrate manufacturers ship goods according to orders. The potassium nitrate market began to show a wave line, which changes with the change of market inventory, and the overall market is still volatile and higher.

In 2021, the market of potassium chloride showed a trend of shock and rise. Throughout 2021, the available spot in the domestic potassium chloride market is in short supply. Although the production enterprises are fully engaged in production, the operating rate is slightly low and the self-sufficiency rate is insufficient. At the same time, the delivery of international potassium fertilizer suppliers is delayed and the arrival at the port is limited. Domestic inventory has been low and the market remains high. The strong market of potassium chloride supports the cost of potassium carbonate.

Recently, the domestic potash fertilizer market is weak and the market demand is light. It is expected that the price of potassium nitrate will mainly fall in the short term, and the long-term market still needs to wait and see. (the above prices are provided by major potassium nitrate manufacturers all over the country and sorted and analyzed by potassium carbonate analysts of business society. They are for reference only.
