This week, supported by the continuous rise in the price of raw material alumina and the tight supply, most of the white fused alumina manufacturers raised their product prices by about RMB 50/ton.
Given the strong willingness of manufacturers to increase prices, it is expected that in the coming week, as production costs increase, the price of white fused alumina may rise further.
This week, although most brown fused alumina manufacturers have no inventory and intend to raise their product prices, the downstream abrasives companies are resolute in opposing price increases, so the brown fused alumina prices continue to run steadily this week.
It is expected that in the coming week, brown fused alumina market price is expected to rise at any time.
This week, supported by the continuous increase in the price of raw material anthracite, the price of black silicon carbide continued to maintain a steady trend.
This week, due to the increase in production costs, most green silicon carbide manufacturers raised their product prices by about RMB 100/ton. It is expected that the price of green silicon carbide may rise further in the coming week.
