Epichlorohydrin Price Trend Q3 2025
In the third quarter of 2025, the global Epichlorohydrin (ECH) market saw moderate growth, with pricing reaching an increase of 2-5% higher from the prior quarter. Several crucial factors supported a positive outlook, including stable supply for key feedstocks, propylene and chlorine, along with an uptick in demand from downstream applications. The major application of ECH and epoxy resins – epoxy grew steadily with demand in downstream industries such as automotive, construction, and electronics remained present due to the durability and adhesive properties of epoxy resins.
Additionally, the demand for glycerol, a by-product of ECH that is used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications, supported demand and market performance. Although there have been sporadic supply chain disruptions in some regions, the overall market experienced positive performance, and producers adapted to changes in raw material costs. As supply chains continue to adapt and production capacity grows, the Epichlorohydrin market projects that outlook will continue in the upcoming quarter.

In Q3 2025, the Epichlorohydrin price in Thailand rose 3.92% compared to Q2 2025, a price trend supported by stable consumption from key domestic downstream user sectors (including automotive and coatings). The price increase has also been supported by higher priced feedstocks and limited supply. The cost of freight has remained about the same as the previous quarter but presented some upward pressure on pricing.

South Korea
(Epichlorohydrin Import prices CIF Busan, South Korea, Grade- Industrial Grade (99.9%).
In Q3 of 2025, South Korea Epichlorohydrin prices were up 3.40% compared with Q2 of 2025. Epichlorohydrin price increases in South Korea have primarily been the result of continued steady demand from key end-use markets, namely the automotive and chemicals sectors. Increased propylene feedstock costs as well as increased freight rate from Thailand also contributed to rising prices. In September of 2025, Epichlorohydrin prices still increased in South Korea because of steady domestic consumption and ongoing regional demand. The outlook for Q4 of 2025 is for moderate price increases due to continuing steady demand and increased feedstock and freight costs.
India
(Epichlorohydrin Ex-prices Ex-Bhiwandi, India, Grade- Industrial Grade (99.9%).
According to PriceWatch, in the third quarter of 2025, the price of Epichlorohydrin in India increased by 3.66% compared to the second quarter of the year. The price trend of Epichlorohydrin in India has been impacted in the third quarter by strong demand from the pharmaceutical sector and the automotive sectors, which did show resilience even during times of global demand concerns. The prices advanced because of higher feedstock costs, particularly propylene, and increases in the logistics industry during that quarter.

Overall, prices are expected to stabilize, while still on a moderate trend up the structure, increasingly dependent on overall downstream demand, as well as worldwide conditions in supply chains.
