What Is the Average Cost of Soda Ash Per Ounce/Gram/Pound? Average Soda Ash Price?

There has been a steady increase in the prices of soda ash. Production, sales and prices were all higher this year compared to 2009 and previous years. It was very difficult to forecast true soda ash supply and demand trends in 2009 with the prices slipping down to $195 per ton in July from the May prices of $202 per ton. The US soda ash exports have reduced considerably in recent years in the backdrop of global economic problems resulting in reduced world soda ash consumption. Also, with the fall in prices of caustic soda, the need for a low-cost substitute such as soda ash is not felt seriously. The average cost of soda ash is $260 per ton, if purchased in bulk, while packaged soda ash costs $325 per ton.
