According to the figure, 3,780 tons of ferrovanadium (about 1080 tons of ferrovanadium 80#) should consume 4,425 tons of V2O5 flake, and 5,120 tons of vanadium-nitrogen should consume 7,250 tons of V2O5, total need 11,675 tons of V2O5. In September, V2O5 export volume and the quantity of long-term orders totaled about 400 tons. Thus the total consumption of vanadium pentoxide should be 11,875 tons, 200 tons of V2O5 flake have arrived at the port in the import market. Market gap is about 1925 tons of V2O5.
