China's domestic lithium hexafluorophosphate market ended its earlier loss-making production phase in 2026 as demand strengthened, with prices briefly breaking above 160,000 yuan per ton. According to Jin10, although overall prices in the first half of the year rose sharply and then pulled back, profitability across the sector has improved significantly.
