Ammonium Chloride Market Sees Modest Rebound Amid Strengthening Demand

The Chinese ammonium chloride market experienced a modest uptick in September 2026 after declining by 5.1% in August, according to ChemAnalyst. Market sentiment improved as wheat fertilizer demand strengthened in North China and compound fertilizer producers increased their operating rates. The rising coal costs continued to pressure soda ash manufacturers, prompting them to focus on improving ammonium chloride margins.

Export inquiries also increased, while suppliers controlled orders and withdrew temporary pricing policies. However, downstream buyers remained cautious, resulting in a balanced supply-demand environment and limiting the extent of price increases. The market has shifted from aggressive selling to maintaining price stability for ammonium chloride amid improving demand fundamentals.
