1. The contradiction between supply and demand of high-grade talc is increasingly prominent. What the plastics industry needs is high-grade talc. As market demand increases and production volume decreases, the contradiction between supply and demand will further intensify, and product prices will further increase. In recent years, the sales price and export price of high-grade talc in China have exceeded historical highs. There will be some growth in the future.High-grade talc produced in China will be in short supply for a long time.
