What Is The Market Price Of Micro Silica Powder (Silica Fume)? What Factors Influence Price Fluctuations?

The market price of micro silica powder varies depending on a number of factors, such as the product's silica content, quality, origin, transportation distance, packaging type, and market supply and demand. At present, the price of commonly used micro silica powder for concrete delivered to various parts of the country is roughly RMB 300-1200/ton.

The price fluctuation of micro silica powder is mainly affected by the following factors:

1. Market Supply And Demand: When the market demand for micro silica powder increases, and the supply is relatively insufficient, the price may rise; on the contrary, the price may fall when the supply exceeds the demand;

2. Product Quality: High silica content, less chemical impurities, particle shape rules and other good quality micro silica powder, usually relatively high prices;

3. Transportation Distance And Mode: Due to the low packing density and large volume of micro silica powder, the transportation cost is higher. Longer transportation distance or special transportation mode (such as tanker transportation) may increase the cost, thus affecting the price;

4. Packaging Type: Different packaging methods have different costs, for example, a 10 kg paper bag costs more than a 25 kg woven bag;

5. Production: Changes in production can affect market supply and demand, which in turn can lead to price fluctuations. For example, the price may be higher when the production is low, and the price may fall when the production is expanded. 6;

6. Industry Demand: Changes in demand in different sectors such as the refractory industry or the concrete industry, for example, can also have an impact on prices;

7. Cost Of Raw Materials: Changes in the price of raw materials used in the production of micro silica powders may affect the cost of production of micro silica powders, thus causing price fluctuations;

8. Seasonal Factors: In certain areas or industries, there may be seasonal changes in demand, which may also lead to price fluctuations. For example, during the dry season, the cost of electricity may rise, thus affecting the price of the relevant products.
