The domestic ammonium sulfate market is currently operating at high levels with tight supply and prices showing stability with upward momentum. Coking-grade mainstream regions remain flat, the Northeast market shows volatility, and caprolactam-grade prices have risen. Downstream compound fertilizer production has declined slightly with cautious purchasing sentiment. Prices are expected to remain firm in the short term, but policy risks exist.

Currently, the domestic ammonium sulfate market remains generally high, with some areas continuing to rise. International urea prices support higher costs, and combined with the Middle East situation, market sentiment is relatively strong. From the supply side, caprolactam operating rate is about 77%, coking enterprises are at 74.3%, and overall supply is relatively stable but somewhat tight.

In terms of prices:

Mainstream regions for coking grade remain stable (Shandong reference: 1,438 RMB/ton);
The Northeast market experiences significant fluctuations, with clear range adjustments;
Caprolactam prices continue to rise (Shandong up by 40-90 RMB/ton).

Downstream compound fertilizer operating rate is about 49.9%. Purchasing sentiment has cooled compared to earlier, and high-priced transactions are somewhat cautious.

👉 Overall: Cost support and tight supply still persist. In the short term, ammonium sulfate prices are likely to remain high and stable, with some areas still having room for tentative increases. (Market carries policy risks)
