Historically, several events have caused significant fluctuations in Sodium Percarbonate prices

Ukraine-Russia Conflict (2022–Ongoing) 

The Ukraine-Russia conflict, which began in early 2022 and is still ongoing, has significantly disrupted energy supplies, particularly in Europe, which relies heavily on natural gas from Russia. This disruption has led to a sharp increase in energy costs, further escalating the production expenses for chemicals like Sodium Percarbonate. The conflict has also created logistical challenges, disrupted global supply chains and contributed to ongoing price volatility. As energy costs remain high and supply chains face continued uncertainty, the pricing instability for Sodium Percarbonate persists, affecting industries worldwide.

Energy Crisis (2021–2022)  

The energy crisis of 2021–2022, lasting around 12 months, saw a sharp rise in energy prices, particularly for natural gas and electricity, as the world recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. These energy sources are critical for producing raw materials like hydrogen peroxide, a key component in Sodium Percarbonate manufacturing. The surge in energy costs significantly increased production expenses, driving up the prices of Sodium Percarbonate in 2021. This period of inflation extended into early 2022, as energy markets remained volatile, further exacerbating price instability and affecting supply chains globally.

COVID-19 Pandemic (2020-2022) 

The COVID-19 pandemic, lasting approximately 18 to 24 months from 2020 to 2021, caused significant disruptions in global supply chains, including the market for Sodium Percarbonate. Lockdowns, transportation restrictions, and labour shortages led to a scarcity of critical raw materials, such as sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide, which are essential for Sodium Percarbonate production. These shortages reduced manufacturing capacity and pushed up production costs.

At the same time, there was a sharp increase in demand for cleaning products during the pandemic, as hygiene became a top priority globally. This surge in demand, combined with supply chain challenges, resulted in significant price hikes for Sodium Percarbonate throughout this period.
