Today Huafu Melamine Molding Compound Factory will share with you the recent melamine market trend for your reference.
In April, China's melamine market continued to decline and rebounded slightly after it stabilized. As of April 27, the average ex-factory price of melamine products at normal pressure in China this month was 9,025 yuan/ton ($1,362/ton), down 16.13% from the same period last month; and down 1,674 yuan/ton, or 15.65%, from the same period last year.
May-June is still relatively in the traditional peak season of consumption.
1. Due to external factors, it may be difficult to effectively release the terminal demand, and the positive support for the market is weak, and July will enter the traditional consumption off-season
From the perspective of supply, some companies have maintenance plans in May, so there is no centralized maintenance in the later period, the overall start-up load level is relatively high, and the supply of goods is abundant.
It is expected that the domestic melamine price will fluctuate within a narrow range in the later period.
