• Resumen

  • Overcapacity in China's fluorocarbon market continues to prevent a recovery in the prices of HFC and HFO chemicals.

    Although restrictions on the production of HCFCs took some capacity offstream in H1 2014 - causing price rises throughout Q3 2014 - structural issues continue to threaten producer profit margins.

    These developments will involve the pursuit of new and niche fluorochemcial markets, in which the country's suppliers can position themselves as leading producers.
