Both sulfur and sulfuric acid have seen price increases; some listed companies are likely to benefit. Source: Securities Times, 2010-03-19. Since the second half of 2009, the prices of sulfuric acid and sulfur have been rising, indicating signs of recovery in the industry. Although most domestic listed companies produce sulfuric acid and sulfur as by-products, many of them exhibit significant performance volatility when the prices of sulfur and sulfuric acid fluctuate. Recently, as the main industries that consume sulfuric acid—fertilizers and pesticides—entered a peak production period, China’s sulfuric acid industry has continued to improve. Industry data shows that in February, the operating rate of domestic sulfuric acid production facilities rose to 80%, **higher than the 60% operating rate in the same period last year ； In February, the average ex-plant price of 98% sulfuric acid was around 435 yuan per ton, whereas the ex-plant price of 98% sulfuric acid in October 2009 was 150 yuan per ton. Data shows that the price of sulfur was over 600 yuan per ton at the beginning of November 2009; currently, its latest price has reached 1,300 yuan per ton.

The market price of sulfuric acid is set to rise further. Source: Date: 2010-2-23 14:32:42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In February, the domestic sulfuric acid industry continued to show improvement. Sulfuric acid is primarily used in the production of fertilizers and pesticides, where production has reached peak levels. Industries such as non-ferrous metals continue to show rapid growth, and the increasing market demand plays a positive role in driving the sulfuric acid industry. In February, the operating rate of domestic sulfuric acid production facilities rose to 80%, up 2 percentage points from January, showing strong momentum of improvement. In February, the average ex-plant price of 93% sulfuric acid in the domestic market was around 330 yuan per ton, up 3.1% from the previous month ； The average ex-plant price of 98% sulfuric acid is around 435 yuan per ton, up by approximately 3.57% compared to the previous month. In February, despite the adverse effects of the Spring Festival holiday as well as rising energy and raw material prices, the domestic sulfuric acid market continued to show steady and recovering demand growth. 　　In February, sulfuric acid production was good, product inventories were low, sales progressed smoothly, and prices rose steadily. In February, the operating rate of domestic sulfuric acid production facilities continued to rise to 80%, **higher than the 60% rate seen in the same period last year. Meanwhile, the domestic sulfuric acid market is in a peak period of demand, with fertilizer and pesticide traders across the country starting to stock up ahead of schedule compared to last year, in sharp contrast to the situation last year when traders waited to see how the market would develop before making purchases. This year, demand for fertilizers and pesticides in the market rose ahead of schedule, which not only **reduced the inventory pressure on manufacturers of fertilizers and pesticides, but also increased demand for sulfuric acid in the market. 　　With rising domestic market demand, sulfuric acid imports continued to increase steadily in February. Due to the price differences in the domestic and international sulfuric acid markets, fertilizer manufacturers have increased their imports to ensure a continuous and stable supply of raw materials for production. The inventory of sulfuric acid imported by domestic fertilizer manufacturers has increased significantly compared to the same period last year. 　　In March, it is expected that the demand for sulfuric acid in the domestic market will continue to grow, with prices remaining on an upward trend. As domestic sulfuric acid prices keep rising, import volumes will increase rapidly, which in turn will drive up prices in the international markets for sulfuric acid and sulfur. In March, domestic production of fertilizers and pesticides reaches its peak, and demand from downstream markets grows rapidly, which will give a strong boost to the sulfuric acid industry; as a result, the price of sulfuric acid is expected to rise further.

We want it to be cheaper, hehe.

If shipping by ship, it’s around 530 in Jiangsu and about 450 in Anhui; the cost is even higher when using a truck.

I don’t know how long it will last, but I hope it will continue like this.

The lowest price is in Wuhan, while the highest is in Taicang City, Jiangsu, at 2200.00 yuan per ton. Such a large difference in prices is likely related to the quality of sulfuric acid; generally, reagent-grade sulfuric acid is much more expensive than ordinary industrial sulfuric acid.
