Market Analysis of White Fused Alumina in October

In October, the prevailing prices of white fused alumina Al2O3≥99% section sand in Shandong were around 4600-4600 Yuan/ton, and fine powder around 4800-5000 Yuan/ton; In Henan, the market prices of white fused alumina Al2O3≥99% section sand are around 4000-4200 Yuan/ton, and fine powder around 4200-4500 Yuan/ton, which were increased by 400 Yuan/ton respectively compared with September.

According to the analysis, the rising price of white fused alumina is mainly influenced by the following three aspects. A, Environmental factor: From July, many regions began the environmental regulation, which leaded to the dropping operating rate of white fused alumina manufacturers, and sharply reduced the output;

B, Raw materials such as alumina: Alumina prices have been rising recently, which increases the production cost of white fused alumina;

C, Freight factor: New road transport vehicle standards were carried out since September 21, 2016. Compared with the original standards, new standards are significantly tightened, which means that the highway freight transport freight unit price will go up.

Through comprehensive analysis, the rising price of white fused alumina is also understandable under the influence of multiple factors, and the downstream buyers can also accept it.
