After the epidemic, the market situation of ammonium chloride changed dramatically. The ex-factory price of agricultural and industrial ammonium chloride have risen again and again, constantly breaking through the historical peak. In some time periods, there is even no market for prices, and even cash transactions could not get the goods, which causing certain pressure to the high-end ammonium chloride production in Hunan Jianghai.  In particular, it has had a negative impact on the supply of high-demand products such as food-grade ammonium chloride and analytical pure ammonium chloride.

It is well known that China is a big producer of ammonium chloride, and ammonium chloride production capacity is closely related to the output of soda ash (using the combined alkali method to produce a ton of soda ash by-product of ammonium chloride), which not only can fully meet the domestic production demands, but also partly earn foreign exchange through exports.

The price of ammonium chloride itself has a three-year cycle. With the “three eliminations” of the nitrogen fertilizer industry, environmental protection requirements, natural gas supply and other factors, the industry capacity has basically stabilized.

The direct signal of this round of price increase cycle is the China Soda Ash Industry Association recently issued a notice on the restriction of production in the soda ash industry.
