氢氧化钾又名苛性钾、钾灰，主要应用于医药、染料、轻工、纺织等领域。随着应用技术的不断发展，其应用范围日趋扩大。氢氧化钾广泛应用于高锰酸钾、碳酸钾等钾盐和钾碱的生产。
Potassium hydroxide, also known as caustic potassium and potassium ash, is mainly used in medicine, dyestuff, light industry, textile and other fields. With the continuous development of application technology, its application scope is expanding. Potassium hydroxide is widely used in the production of potassium permanganate, potassium carbonate and other potassium salts and potash.

未来氢氧化钾发展将有以下几个趋势：随着国产钾肥产能的提高，世界钾肥供应格局也有所改变，作为氢氧化钾主要原料的氯化钾供应将更加合理化；小型企业将逐步被淘汰，有技术、有规模的企业将得到充足的发展；我国氢氧化钾产品质量的提高，势必拉动国产氢氧化钾占领更广阔的外国市场；随着下游需求的缓和发展，氢氧化钾消费量将持续上升。
The future development of potassium hydroxide will have the following trends: with the increase of domestic potash fertilizer production capacity, the world potash fertilizer supply pattern will also change, and the supply of potassium chloride as the main raw material of potassium hydroxide will be more reasonable; Small enterprises will be phased out, and enterprises with technology and scale will get sufficient development; The improvement of the quality of potassium hydroxide products in China will certainly lead to the domestic potassium hydroxide occupying a broader foreign market; With the relaxation and development of downstream demand, the consumption of potassium hydroxide will continue to rise.
价格方面，氢氧化钾属于资源型化工产品，将随着资源的减少而逐渐减少。预计未来几年，我国氢氧化钾的价格将维持在目前水平，也就是说未来两年，国内氢氧化钾的市场价格将保持在5500~6500元/吨。
In terms of price, potassium hydroxide is a resource-based chemical product, which will gradually decrease with the decrease of resources. It is expected that in the next few years, the price of potassium hydroxide in China will remain at the current level, that is to say, in the next two years, the domestic market price of potassium hydroxide will remain at 5500 ~ 6500 yuan / ton.
