The short-term disturbance does not change the long-term trend, and the pace of recovery is approaching

The average prices of refrigerants, fluoropolymers and fluorochemical raw materials of 2022q1 company were 23429, 69776 and 5514 yuan / ton respectively (excluding tax, the same below), with a year-on-year increase of + 52.38%, + 41.89% and + 46.49% respectively, and a month-on-month increase of – 2.25%, + 1.59% and + 1.76% respectively; The output was 11500 tons, 8800 tons and 203600 tons respectively, with a year-on-year increase of + 2.26%, + 50.94% and – 3.83% respectively.

The decline in the production and sales of HFCS refrigerant was due to the covid-19 epidemic in the company’s location in mid March. Although the company maintained safe production, the logistics was blocked, which had a certain adverse impact on the company’s production and operation. We believe that the short-term disturbance will not hinder the long-term development. As the benchmark period of HFCS refrigerant quota has entered the last year, the market’s bullish expectation is more and more clear, and the opening of the trend market may be approaching.
