Domestic Sulfuric Acid Market Price:

Today, the domestic sulfuric acid market price is stable to slightly stronger. As of now, the ex-factory price of 98% sulfuric acid in Jiangsu is 1070-1200 yuan/ton, and the ex-factory price of 98% metallurgical acid in Anhui is 940-970 yuan/ton. High port sulfur prices have led to high production costs. Sulfur acid plants in some domestic regions are operating below capacity, and acid plant inventories are low. As a result, domestic sulfuric acid production prices have recently increased across the board. The overall price of metallurgical acid remains stable. Downstream demand from industries such as phosphate fertilizer and chemicals remains stable, resulting in a tight supply-demand balance. Supported by favorable costs, inventory, and demand, sulfuric acid prices are expected to remain high in the short term.

Market Outlook:

The domestic sulfuric acid market is expected to remain generally healthy this week. Support from raw material costs continues to strengthen, with port sulfur prices remaining high and fluctuating, and pyrite prices also remaining high, pushing up sulfuric acid production costs. Recently, there are few sulfuric acid plants with planned maintenance shutdowns domestically, and many previously shut-down plants have gradually resumed production, leading to an increase in sulfuric acid output. Downstream demand remains generally stable, with the chemical market showing a slight downward trend. The phosphate fertilizer market is maintaining just-in-time purchasing. In the short term, the supply and demand of sulfuric acid will remain in a tight balance, and market prices will continue their upward trend with fluctuations at high levels.
