Although downstream demand shrinks, due to high production cost, brown fused alumina enterprises have strong willingness to support prices.

Due to the sluggish downstream demand, the number of white fused alumina enterprises in reduction and suspension of production increased.

As the downstream demand continues to sluggish, China's white corundum production enterprises are in the state of reduction or shutdown.

This week, white corundum producers continue to maintain a low start-up load, some enterprises choose to cut the prices to ensure cash flow.

Affected by the high-cost pressure, brown fused alumina product profit margin is weak, and the enterprises insist to hold the price.

Due to the sluggish downstream demand, most white corundum manufacturers shipped poorly, and the industry operation rate declined.

Due to the sluggish downstream demand, coupled with inventory pressure, some white fused alumina manufacturers decreased the price slightly.

Despite the weak downstream demand, the shortage of high-grade bauxite raw ore has been an unsolved problem for a while.

Considering the sluggish downstream demand, most of the brown fused alumina producers in China lowered the price by about RMB 50/ton.

Due to the sluggish downstream demand, China's white corundum abrasive market is still under pressure to run this week.

The current demand for downstream abrasives industry in China is slow to release.

Affected by public health events in China, the downstream abrasives industry demand released slowly.

Due to the Covid-19 outbreak in Zhengzhou, Xuchang, Zhoukou of Henan Province, Zhengzhou City implemented strict lockdown measures.

Although the demand is sluggish due to the pandemic, most enterprises intend to reduce production to support abrasive material prices.

The epidemic in China is rapidly heating up, and provinces and cities have closed highways, paralyzing large-scale logistics.

Supported by the rising prices of raw materials such as petroleum coke, most green silicon carbide manufacturers further raised the price.

Although downstream demand is relatively cold this week, most white fused alumina suppliers intend to maintain the stability of the price.

Supported by the rising price of raw material anthracite, the price of black silicon carbide continued to rise during this week.

Most black silicon carbide production enterprises significantly raised the price this week due to the rising raw material cost.

As the slowdown of environmental protection control in northern China, alumina oxide suppliers have resumed production gradually.
