As the Chinese New Year draws closer, we are already seeing early signs of price rebound across several industrial chemicals.
At the same time, ocean freight rates have reached a short-term bottom, offering buyers a rare window to optimize both product and logistics costs.
From a buyer’s perspective, the off-season procurement still carries clear advantages:
🔹 More stable pricing before holiday-driven supply tightening
🔹 Shorter production queues compared with post-holiday rush
🔹 Lower freight costs, helping control total landed cost
🔹 Stronger supplier coordination ahead of seasonal shutdowns
Once factories slow down for the holiday, lead times often extend and prices tend to move faster than expected. Planning earlier means avoiding last-minute pressure and cost uncertainty.
At Gansu Winshine Metallurgy Chemicals Co., Ltd., we continue to support customers with:
Stable supply planning
Export-compliant packaging
Reliable shipment schedules during seasonal transitions
If you are considering procurement for Q1 production or inventory planning, now is a practical time to review options.
