In recent, China R&AC industry performed well and the price of R22 is still high, causing the shortage of raw materials.  The main reasons are: 1) some of the manufacturers have to stop or reduce production with the tighten environment policies; 2) the exploration cost of fluorite continually increased with a long term disorderly mining.  The fluorite market kept at 4 million tons a year, which means a tight supply situation in 2019.

According to many international agreements, R22 is phasing out and R32 and R410a will be substitutes, as well as R134a.

The stock of R32 in China is still at low level, the needs of domestic and export markets are stable.

The production of R134a keeps stable in general.

The supply of R410a is sufficient, the clients purchase rationally.

The stock of R125 is at low level

As one of HCFC, R22 will be phased out to 35% of the baseline in 2020 and HFC’s phaseout is based on the average consumption of 2020-2022, which will double the production capacity of R32 and R125.
