Fluorochemicals China Monthly Report

In June 2026, fluorite powder price fell first and then stabilized. Downstream price-bargaining sentiment was pronounced, while supply contracted due to safety inspections and maintenance shutdowns, leading to a standoff between upstream and downstream players. Despite rising production costs, AHF price moved lower as persistent downstream weakness outweighed cost support. Refrigerant prices generally remained stable. R22 price rose first and then stabilized, with weak terminal inquiry activity; R32 price continued to run at high levels, with transactions mainly based on essential procurement; R134a price stabilized after a slight upward move, with sellers' price-supporting intentions strengthening.
