1. Refrigerant Prices Soar in China and Europe
In the first half of this year, refrigerant prices have seen soaring in China. After the temporary drop from July, they bounced back in mid-September. The refrigerant price rises are due to the price rise of hydrofluoric acid upstream. China is strengthening environmental protection measures, and many ineligible production bases of hydrofluoric acid have been closed, leading to a supply shortage and price rises.
In the face of HFC Refrigerant price rises, European air conditioning and refrigeration industry associations are taking actions such as appealing governments and conducting price research. However, European governments, such as the Danish, French, Norwegian, Polish, Slovakian, and Spanish governments, are applying taxes on HFC refrigerants, and these taxes have become a factor resulting in refrigerant price rises. Further refrigerant price rises are anticipated due to a significant supply shortage.
