How is the gas market?
Thread Content
The demand in the gas market is expected to decline in 2009, but it’s not clear by how much or until when Prices have also been falling all the time. How are things in different places? Could everyone exchange ideas? This post was last edited by limingshuguang on 2009-2-14 14:31.]
Hehe, in the long run, China’s gas market will be quite good.
Looking at the market from the perspective of the stock market, it will remain stable for now, but it will decline further as the market drops; there is little chance of improvement within the year. “The stock market is a barometer of the national economy; it’s worth keeping an eye on. (Personal opinion)
The key lies in the first half of the year. Looking at industries such as steel, electronics, casting, and manufacturing, which are major consumers of gases, they have been greatly affected by the economic crisis, which has severely impacted the sales of gas companies. However, with the expansion of domestic demand, it’s still uncertain what will happen; no one knows for sure at the moment
We deal in gas equipment. We haven’t had any orders recently; before, things were fine with an annual output value of 50 million. This year, it’s estimated to be around 20 million. There’s nothing we can do about it – plus, many orders have been taken by foreigners
I won’t comment on whether they are good or bad, but from our side, the by-product oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and food-grade carbon dioxide produced by our branch can all be sold – the more we produce, the more we can sell. The buyers are companies specialized in gas sales, and it’s not our concern whether they suffer losses or not. Also, at the moment, medical oxygen prices should be rising a bit, right? After all, the population is increasing and aging is severe. Now people know how to take care of themselves; I wonder if \"oxygen bars\" are popular outside as well That is also a channel for consumption. It was popular in our family for a while, but then it closed down for some reason I don’t know. At the current stage, there are many civil construction projects for large-scale chemical plants, so the sales of related gases such as oxygen and acetylene should be fairly good compared to previous years. But it probably won’t earn that much more, right?
It has been difficult to see any improvement recently. Although the Chinese market holds great potential, the use of high-volume electronic gases and high-purity gases has declined, which surely leads to falling prices. The sectors that are performing somewhat better at present are the coal chemical and steel industries, where demand is high and there is still plenty of room for growth!
What will happen to the gas purification market?
