1、 Price trend:

The PTFE market remained stable and declined in May. According to the monitoring system of Shengyishe, as of May 31st, the benchmark price of polytetrafluoroethylene in Shengyishe was 43000.00 yuan/ton, a decrease of -1.53% compared to the beginning of this month (43666.67 yuan/ton).

2、 Influencing factors:

Raw material side: High market prices are under pressure, and production enterprises have thin profits. According to the monitoring of the commodity market analysis system of Shengyishe, the benchmark price of hydrofluoric acid in Shengyishe is 11620.00 yuan/ton, which is unchanged from the beginning of this month. The operation of hydrofluoric acid plants has not changed much, and some manufacturers of hydrofluoric acid have accumulated inventory. The mainstream price of hydrofluoric acid negotiated in various regions of China is 11200-11700 yuan/ton, and there are still units waiting for market shutdown. The spot supply of hydrofluoric acid is normal, and the operation of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid is about 60%. The overall domestic hydrofluoric acid price trend remained stable in May.

Downstream end: There is no favorable phenomenon in the downstream market, and there is insufficient purchasing sentiment, with on-demand procurement being the main focus. At present, the polytetrafluoroethylene market is in a sustained downturn.

3、 Future Market Forecast

The polytetrafluoroethylene analyst from Business Society believes that in the short term, the high prices of raw materials will support, downstream demand will be weak and continue to be sluggish, and the polytetrafluoroethylene market will operate weakly and steadily.
