Thailand: Calcium Chloride Import prices CIF Laem Chabang, Thailand, Grade: Industrial Grade 94% purity.

In the third quarter of 2025, the Calcium Chloride Prills price in Thailand went up by about 0.78%, primarily due to increased landed costs from its main supply regions. The Calcium Chloride price trend in Thailand is symptomatic of the increase in pricing across the global market, which has been largely driven by supply deficiencies, demand from construction, de-icing, water treatment and related industries in addition to upward pressure on logistics from significant export manufacturers.

This pricing pressure translated into Thailand with increases in both landed costs as a result of increased export pricing pressure and increases in freight costs. There has also been stable end-user demand within Thailand and limited substitutions available from other regional suppliers which provided additional support for commodity prices. The slight depreciation of the Thai Baht also increased the effective cost of importing the product as measured in Thai Baht.

Looking ahead, while supply conditions may recover to reflect the existing availability and freight costs may stabilize, seasonal demand could very well lead to elevated calcium chloride price trends in the Thai marketplace temporarily. In September 2025, Calcium Chloride prices in Thailand increased by 5.74%, reflecting a sharp increase in price due to tightened supply and late demand surge in that quarter.

Nigeria: Calcium Chloride Import prices CIF Apapa, Nigeria, Grade: Industrial Grade 94% purity.

In Q3 2025, Calcium Chloride Prills price in Nigeria decreased by approximately 2.09%, largely influenced by lower import costs from key supply sources. The Calcium Chloride price trends in Nigeria mirrored the global market’s price decline, driven by easing supply constraints, stable demand from industries such as construction, de-icing, and water treatment, and more manageable logistics costs.

This decrease in price has been passed onto the Nigerian market, where buyers benefitted from lower landed costs due to reduced export prices and more favorable freight rates. Additionally, stable demand in Nigeria and increased availability from alternative sources contributed to the price decrease. The appreciation of the Nigerian naira also helped mitigate the impact of import costs when priced in local currency.

Looking ahead, if global supply conditions remain stable and freight rates continue to ease, Calcium Chloride Prills prices in Nigeria may stabilize, although short-term demand fluctuations could still influence pricing. In September 2025, the Calcium Chloride price trend in Nigeria rose by 3.31%, reflecting a slight rebound, likely driven by temporary demand increases or supply chain adjustments following the earlier price dip.
