Market Dynamics and Industry Developments of Ammonium Sulfate
In terms of market conditions, the price trend and supply - demand relationship of ammonium sulfate have always attracted much attention. Since the beginning of this year, the ammonium sulfate market has been affected by a combination of various factors. During the spring ploughing and fertilization preparation period, the overall demand in the fertilizer market has fluctuated, and ammonium sulfate, as a type of nitrogen fertilizer, has also been implicated. Domestically, its price has experienced ups and downs. For example, in the early stage, with the start of spring ploughing, the expected market demand increased, and the price of ammonium sulfate rose to a certain extent. However, recently, due to changes in the market supply - demand structure, the upward trend of the price has slowed down. The quotations of mainstream factories in some regions have been adjusted slightly, but the market as a whole has gradually shown resistance to high - priced ammonium sulfate. Traders have become more cautious in the procurement process. For example, the price of high - end ammonium sulfate in Tianjin Port has shown a downward trend.
Looking at the international market, the trade pattern of ammonium sulfate is also constantly changing. China's ammonium sulfate is mainly exported to regions such as Brazil and Southeast Asia. Currently, the enthusiasm of the Brazilian market for purchasing ammonium sulfate is not high, and there have been some negative news in the international market, suppressing the price of ammonium sulfate. At the same time, due to policy influence, the business of China's ammonium sulfate shipped to Myanmar has been blocked. The local rare - earth middlemen have saturated inventories and their procurement volume has decreased sharply. These changes in the international market have had a certain impact on the export business of domestic ammonium sulfate producers and traders.
In the field of industry production and innovation, many enterprises have also taken new actions. The caprolactam plant of Hunan Petrochemical is currently operating smoothly, with a daily output of 2,880 tons of ammonium sulfate, fully guaranteeing the demand for ammonium sulfate fertilizers during the spring ploughing period. The ammonium sulfate produced by this enterprise has excellent quality, with large particles, less powder and organic impurities, and a clean white color, which is conducive to processing high - quality nitrogen fertilizers. In the first two months, the production and sales of ammonium sulfate were nearly 130,000 tons. In addition, Wuhai Lubang Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. obtained the patent for "A Reaction Kettle for Preparing Ammonium Sulfate from Desulfurization Waste Liquid" on February 25, 2025 (Authorization Announcement No. CN 222518604 U, Application Date December 2024). This patented technology can accelerate the reaction between sulfuric acid and ammonia in desulfurization waste liquid to generate ammonium sulfate, realizing the secondary utilization of desulfurization waste liquid and solving the problem of environmental pollution caused by the discharge of traditional desulfurization waste liquid. It provides new ideas and technical support for the environmental protection upgrade of the ammonium sulfate production process.
In addition, there have been new breakthroughs in the logistics and transportation link. Hebei COSCO Shipping Botou Logistics completed the first combined - ship - export integrated logistics business of ammonium sulfate. This business lasted for 19 days, integrating 3 customers and 2 terminals, shipping 8 batches of a total of 53,900 tons of ammonium sulfate to Turkey, covering multiple links such as warehousing, transportation, processing, and loading. Facing difficulties such as reduced transportation capacity during the Spring Festival holiday and rain and snow weather, the project team adopted the "Dual - Port Linkage" model to achieve the efficient operation of the supply chain, accumulating valuable experience for the subsequent deepening of integrated logistics services for ammonium sulfate and other fertilizers and chemical products.
Overall, in the current complex environment, the ammonium sulfate (Ammonium sulfate, CAS#7783 - 20 - 2) market and industry are constantly adapting to changes. Through stable supply at the production end, technological innovation, and optimization of logistics and transportation links, they are striving to seek new development opportunities in the face of challenges.
