From the perspective of various fine molecule industries, the industries with significant profitability improvement in 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 are potash fertilizer, fluorine chemical industry and refrigerants, soda ash and phosphorus chemical industry and phosphate, and other chemical raw materials and textile chemicals. The industries with better performance, such as potash fertilizer and soda ash, are mainly due to the high certainty of upward demand in the context of steady growth, and the product prices and price spreads are rising sharply under the good supply and demand, promoting the continuous upward profit margins of the industry; The poor performance of textile chemical supplies is due to the rise in raw material prices combined with the repeated decline in demand under the epidemic, and the weak price transmission ability has led to the thinning of the industry.
