According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of the Business Society, the market for polyaluminum chloride continued to fluctuate and decline slightly in the first half of May. Among them, on May 1st, China’s solid (industrial grade, content ≥ 28%) polyaluminum chloride market reported 1800 yuan/ton, and on May 15th, the market reported 1781 yuan/ton, a half month decline of 1.04%.
As shown in the figure, the domestic market of polyaluminum chloride has been declining for several consecutive weeks since February. The weekly decline in April has occasionally expanded, and the decline in the first half of May has slightly contracted. Water treatment enterprises in China’s main production areas have normal production, sufficient spot inventory, unfavorable downstream procurement demand, weak industry prosperity, and a sustained weak market for polyaluminum chloride.
Raw Material Hydrochloric Acid: According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Business Society, the domestic hydrochloric acid market in the first half of May fluctuated from around 207 yuan/ton to around 175 yuan/ton, with a half month drop of up to 15.46%. The upstream liquid chlorine market has recently stabilized at a low level, with average cost support. The downstream market has slightly declined, and downstream purchasing willingness has weakened. It is expected that in the middle and late May, the price of domestic hydrochloric acid market in the future will fall slightly, with the average market price of about 170 yuan/ton.

Future forecast: In the first half of the month, the market for raw material hydrochloric acid and fuel liquefied natural gas has significantly declined, and cost support has also weakened. From the fundamental perspective of polyaluminum chloride, production in the main production areas is normal, there is sufficient stock in the market, and downstream demand continues to be weak, resulting in long-term oversupply in the market. Regarding the future market, the polyaluminum chloride market will continue to fluctuate and weaken.
