Hydrogen Peroxide Price Trend Q4 2025

In Q4 2025, global Hydrogen Peroxide prices for Industrial Grade (50% or >27.5%) across key markets like India, Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, and China mostly declined within a quarter-on-quarter range of roughly 2–10% (with China’s Ex-Shanghai bucking the trend at +17.93%), reflecting a broadly soft downtrend driven by industrial slowdowns in printing, papermaking, textiles, and pulp sectors amid year-end procurement pauses. Supply dynamics varied with oversupply from resumed Chinese production and competitive imports easing tensions in India and Taiwan, offset by temporary maintenance shutdowns in China, while falling freight on intra-Asia routes compounded landed cost relief.

Trading turned bearish with inventory liquidation and export adjustments dominating, though structural demand from paper and water treatment offered some floor; overall, the quarter ended with excess supply, subdued sectoral consumption, and a bearish bias hinging on industrial recovery, maintenance cycles, and logistics costs rather than speculation.

Thailand: Hydrogen peroxide Export prices FOB Laem Chabang, Thailand; Grade- Industrial Grade (50%)

In Q4 2025, Thailand Hydrogen Peroxide price for Industrial Grade (50%) FOB Laem Chabang fell by 7.35%, and its quarterly price range was $365-$430 per MT. The price trend in Thailand was dictated by a notable decline in demand from the regional printing and papermaking industries, which are currently operating at lower levels across the Southeast Asian region.

Amidst a volatile market, domestic average prices weakened as manufacturers adjusted offers to stimulate export interest. In December 2025, Hydrogen Peroxide prices in Thailand decreased by 3.06%, reflecting continued bearish sentiment and a surplus of available stock as the year ended.

South Korea: Hydrogen Peroxide Export prices FOB Busan, South Korea; Grade- Industrial Grade (50%)

In Q4 2025, South Korea Hydrogen Peroxide price for Industrial Grade (50%) FOB Busan fell by 10.27%, and its quarterly price range was $325-$370 per MT. The price trend in South Korea was heavily impacted by the broader industrial slowdown in the Far East Asia region, where the printing and papermaking sectors saw a sharp reduction in consumption.

This created a supply-rich environment, forcing producers to significantly lower their FOB quotations to maintain competitive export volumes. In December 2025, Hydrogen Peroxide prices in South Korea decreased by 3.73%, as market participants focused on inventory liquidation ahead of the new fiscal year.

Taiwan: Hydrogen Peroxide Imported prices CIF Kaohsiung from South Korea, Taiwan; Grade- Industrial Grade (50%)

In Q4 2025, Taiwan Hydrogen Peroxide price for Industrial Grade (50%) CIF Kaohsiung (South Korea) fell by 9.57%, and its quarterly price range was $370-$415 per MT. This downward price trend in Taiwan was supported by a decrease in freight charges for the South Korea-to-Taiwan route from Q3 to Q4, which lowered the landed cost for importers.

The local market mirrored the bearish trends of its primary supply hub in Busan, with stable domestic production further limiting the need for high-priced spot imports. In December 2025, Hydrogen Peroxide prices in Taiwan decreased by 3.29%, as buyers maintained a cautious approach and limited their intake to immediate operational requirements.

India: Domestically Traded Hydrogen Peroxide price in Mumbai, India; Grade- Industrial grade (50%)

In Q4 2025, India Hydrogen Peroxide price for Industrial Grade (50%) Ex-Mumbai fell by 2.03%, and its quarterly price range was $285-$325 per MT. This downward price trend in India was primarily influenced by a correction from previous highs, even as the market faced a tight supply situation due to periodic raw material shortages.

Despite the lower quarterly average, robust demand from the textile, paper, and water treatment sectors provided a structural floor for prices. In December 2025, Hydrogen Peroxide prices in India decreased by 6.90%, as the arrival of competitive import cargoes and a temporary year-end slowdown in industrial procurement eased the domestic supply-demand tension.

China: Domestically Traded Hydrogen Peroxide price in Shanghai, China; Grade- Industrial Grade (>27.5%)

In Q4 2025, China Hydrogen Peroxide price for Industrial Grade (>27.5%) Ex-Shanghai rose by 17.93%, and its quarterly price range was $100-$127 per MT. This sharp upward price trend was paradoxically driven by a temporary supply contraction; several major manufacturers shut down for scheduled maintenance during the quarter, effectively easing the prevailing oversupply pressure. However, the gains were short-lived as demand from the printing and pulp industries remained weak. In December 2025, Hydrogen Peroxide prices in China fell by -10.55%, as production units resumed operations and the market reverted to a state of excess supply, causing the average domestic price to weaken rapidly.

According to Price-Watch, The Hydrogen Peroxide price trend in India decreased significantly by 19.6% in Q3 2025, reaching a price range of USD 290-350/MT for the quarter. The price trajectory has been influenced by generally stable supply, fluctuating demand across key end-use sectors, and mixed buying sentiment.

While reasonably strong consumption from textiles, paper, and water treatment sectors supported prices at times, weak activity in printing and papermaking, inventory destocking, and, overall, a surplus of supply weighed down on the price trajectory.

In September 2025, Hydrogen peroxide prices in India softened another 5.21%, reflecting competitive selling, cautious buying, and ongoing volatility, with buyers encouraged retraining their volume risk appetite given tentative shifts toward price stabilization.

China: Domestically Traded Hydrogen Peroxide price in Shanghai, China, Grade- Industrial Grade (>27.5%).

In Q3 of 2025, the Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) price trend in China registered a decrease of 1.66%, with a quarterly price movement range of USD 92–102 per metric ton. The Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) price trend in China has been driven by a general supply-demand balance, which has been favoured late in the quarter by brief supply support resulting from increasing freight rates and offset by softening demand downstream.

In China, the pace of prices continued to remain stable to slightly higher on steady industrial consumption through the early part of the quarter, and the pace of prices fell later in the time period as weakened prices emerged associated with confirmed excess supply and inventories.

At the end of the quarter in September 2025, Hydrogen Peroxide prices in China improved slightly, with a moderate increase of 2.30%. This decrease has been reflected in the Fall 2025 quarter with cautious purchase interest while price thresholds reflected manageable supply flows while market fundamentals gradually softened throughout the quarter.

According to PriceWatch, In Q2 2025, the prices of Hydrogen Peroxide (industrial grade 50%, FOB Busan) increased to USD 377.93 per MT, which has increased by +0.78% in the previous quarter. The minor growth was a sign of continuous demand from major end-use markets such as pulp and paper, wastewater remedies, and textile bleaching, which was normally despite the seasonal weakness in some areas.

The market consistently experienced geopolitical stress – especially ongoing Eastern European War and Red Sea Shipping Outage – which put a tension on the global chemical supply chains and carried forward the price of logistics. Some buyers, related to more delays and supply issues, decided to cover the additional volume locally, which provides micro value support.

While the supply of South Korean producers was stable and was absent from significant production disturbances, international availability was less consistent due to restrictions and shipping congestion in some more traditional supplier countries. Despite the elevated logical sophistication, the inventions were well balanced because the suppliers coordinated the shipment to meet the demand.

Overall, the market for Hydrogen Peroxide was stable but cautious, which was affected by strong demand, geo -political stress, and safe during a quarter of uncertainty, a pulling towards the local supply.

In Q2 2025, the prices of Hydrogen Peroxide (Industrial grade 50%), Vadodara in India increased significantly to $329.57 per metric tonnes, reflecting a strong Q-o-Q growth of +9.07%. Price growth was largely inspired by increasing demand from major downstream industries such as textiles, paper and pulp, and wastewater treatment, which operated at high-to-normal capacity due to seasonal upticks and ongoing industrial recovery.

Regularly maintained the pressure of pricing from these areas upwards. On the geo-political front, instability in Eastern Europe continues and shipping through major global routes, including the Red Sea, affects chemical imports and creates uncertainty in a broader supply chain. Some exporting countries inspired many buyers to rely more on domestic suppliers. This change strengthened local demand and, in some cases, industries in the form of prior purchases demanded to avoid possible shortage.

Production within India remained stable, with no major operations in the major facilities in Vadodara. Although some imports made their way into the market, the volumes were limited due to the hurdle of global logistics. Overall, a combination of strong seasonal demand, supply chain rehabilitation and geo -political stress contributed to notable price increase during the quarter.

Carrying over to the first quarter of 2025, FOB Busan (Industrial Grade (50%)), Hydrogen Peroxide prices appreciated significantly to $375/MT, which is 4.65% rise from Q4 2024. Higher industrial usage, especially from semiconductor and chemical processing industries, which use Hydrogen Peroxide extensively, primarily fuelled the price recovery.

Improved export demand and more stringent supply conditions in a few areas also helped fuel the rally. Although the production levels stayed flat, the seasonal fluctuations in demand and constant supply chain corrections were instrumental in maintaining the market firm, which created a bullish tone for the months ahead.

Ex-Vadodara (Industrial Grade (50%)) prices declined sharply to $302/MT during Q1 2025, lower by 5.92% compared to Q4 2024. This was mostly the result of the post-festival decline in consumption and having stock in abundance in the domestic market. With most of the stockpiling having been carried out during the festival months, downstream sectors like paper, textiles, and food packaging engaged in available inventory.

Moreover, consistent production rates and subdued institutional buying in January and February lent support to overall bearish sentiments, maintaining prices at lower ranges even though input costs did not see any marked change.

Hydrogen Peroxide Price Trend Analysis: Q4 2024

In the last quarter of 2024, FOB Busan (Industrial Grade (50%)), Hydrogen Peroxide prices eased slightly to $358/MT, a decline of 0.74% from Q3. Price stabilization was driven by enhanced market supply as producers levelled down their output capacities to cope with previous spikes in demand.

Furthermore, slower global trade flows, coupled with improved inventory control by major consumers, helped even out supply and demand, checking extreme price volatilities. However, consistent demand from the electronics and healthcare sectors helped sustain market stability, preventing further declines.

During the last quarter of 2024 Hydrogen Peroxide, Ex-Vadodara (Industrial Grade (50%)) prices decreased to $321/MT, 1.83% lower than the previous quarter. This marginal fall in volumes arrived despite increased activity in the packaging and FMCG segments in the Navratri, Dussehra, and festival seasons of Diwali.

Demand had marginally improved for products related to packaging and sterilization and packaging during this time but was matched by the fact of available surplus stocks and continuing stable levels of manufacturing in local units. Low export movement and stable raw material availability sustained the market and restrained any sharp price fluctuations.

During Q3 2024, a small upward trend was experienced by Hydrogen Peroxide market, with FOB Busan (Industrial Grade (50%)) prices increasing to $361/MT, a 1.31% rise from Q2. Consistent demand from the pulp & paper and textile sectors, which are major consumers of Hydrogen Peroxide for bleaching and disinfection was the primary reason for the price increase.

In addition, an increase in industrial production throughout Asia, combined with supply chain bottlenecks like shipping congestion and increasing freight rates, helped support supply chain constraints, further propelling prices. Even with stable production levels, demand from major end-user markets-maintained market conditions tight during this time.

Going into the third quarter of 2024, Hydrogen Peroxide, Ex-Vadodara (Industrial Grade (50%)) settled at $327/MT, down by 0.91% from Q2. The slight fall was due to persistent weak industrial offtake, particularly from Gujarat’s textile belts, as various bleaching plants ran lower levels of capacity on account of erratic rainfall during the monsoon.

In addition, the pulp and paper sector witnessed reduced demand as mills scheduled maintenance shutdowns. Despite some spot purchases in preparation for local celebrations like Raksha Bandhan and Ganesh Chaturthi, overall sentiment was cautious, which kept prices from rising drastically.

Entering the second quarter of 2024, Hydrogen Peroxide prices in FOB Busan (Industrial Grade (50%)) fell to $356/MT, a decline of another 6.23% from Q1. The ongoing price decline can be attributed to numerous reasons such as continued surplus supply in the market and decreased production levels in some segments.

The absence of any meaningful recovery in demand, especially in industrial usage, exacerbates the scenario further. In India and Thailand, the market was relatively stable, but generally, the FOB Busan bearish trend dominated regional stability, impacting pricing dynamics across the APAC region.

Ex- Vadodara (Industrial Grade (50%)) prices stabilized further to $330/MT during Q2 2024, down 1.79% from Q1. The decreasing movement was helped by weak off-take in the paper processing and textile bleaching industries on account of pre-monsoon slowdown and scattered orders from international markets.

Indigenous consumption was stable, and regardless of global shipping adjustments, pressure on imports didn’t have significant effects on Hydrogen Peroxide because of regionally sourced nature and relatively poor international dependence. Higher operating levels among local producers contributed to the high availability, further driving the soft price trend in Western India.

During Q1 2024, the world Hydrogen Peroxide market witnessed a downward momentum, especially in FOB Busan (Industrial Grade (50%)), where the price was at $380/MT. This went down by -2.73% from the last quarter. The decline was mainly due to decreased demand from major industries, such as pulp and paper, and cleaning agents, which are major buyers of Hydrogen Peroxide.

In addition, increased Southeast Asian production capacity helped bring about the surfeit supply situation, further placing downward pressure on prices. Thailand and India, meanwhile, presented comparatively stable demand, but general APAC market conditions were biased towards bearish sentiments.

In Q1 2024, India’s Hydrogen Peroxide (Industrial Grade (50%)) market, i.e., in the Ex-Vadodara region, declined by a marginal rate, as average prices of $336/MT were seen, which was down from the previous quarter by 0.30%. This decline was mainly due to subdued demand for Hydrogen Peroxide from the textile and paper industries, who are major consumers of the chemical in India.

In addition, seasonal slowdowns in industrial production following the end-of-year inventory clearances underpinned the stabilized prices. While feedstock prices and energy prices were stable, limited downstream offtake by industries such as pulp, packaging, and textiles put gentle pressure on local prices.
