During the second quarter of 2025, the aluminum fluoride prices in the USA reached 1678 USD/MT in June. As per the aluminum fluoride price chart, the easing of upstream costs played a central role in shaping the price trend. Declines in fluorspar and hydrogen fluoride values, supported by better supply flows from overseas producers, reduced input costs for aluminum fluoride manufacturers. Energy prices, which had previously been a source of volatility, stabilized somewhat during the quarter, further reducing pressure on production economics. This combination limited the cost-push momentum that might have otherwise kept prices elevated.

During the second quarter of 2025, the aluminum fluoride prices in Germany reached 1682 USD/MT in June. Even though the German market is sizeable and stable, a general global slowdown in aluminum end-use sectors weighed on uptake and stifled any upward movement. Environmental and regulatory factors in Europe added another layer. Strict controls over fluoride emissions and waste disposal pushed producers toward greener technologies. Those investments raised operating costs. Moreover, Germany’s producers absorbed costs from heightened regulatory compliance, which shaped price behavior even as raw materials softened.

During the second quarter of 2025, aluminum fluoride prices in China reached 1235 USD/MT in June. On the production side, aluminium fluoride manufacturers reduced their operating rates. May’s tender process, which set contract prices at lower levels, squeezed margins and pushed many suppliers close to break-even. Profitability deteriorated further as prices slid toward cost levels, discouraging any ramp-up in production. Producers maintained a cautious stance, adjusting output to match sales and avoiding surplus buildup. The industry lacked incentive to expand capacity, keeping supply steady but limited.

During the second quarter of 2025, the aluminum fluoride prices in Brazil reached 1520 USD/MT in June. Overall sentiment remained weak throughout the quarter. Suppliers were squeezed between elevated costs and hesitant demand, leading to narrower margins. Contract-based transactions dominated, with spot market activity muted due to buyers’ cautious stance. Without clear signals of recovery from either raw material markets or downstream aluminium production, aluminium fluoride prices in Brazil settled into a restrained and relatively fragile position.

During the second quarter of 2025, the aluminum fluoride prices in Canada reached 1735 USD/MT in June. The decline in fluorspar values filtered into Canadian procurement channels, softening part of the cost base for aluminium fluoride production. However, higher costs for other inputs, particularly aluminium hydroxide and sulphuric acid, offset these gains. This created a scenario where producers faced narrowing margins, balancing cheaper fluorspar against rising expenses from other feedstocks and logistics. Transport costs, especially for imported raw materials, remained a point of strain due to high freight rates and congestion at certain North American ports, adding volatility to overall cost structures.

Europe Aluminum Fluoride Price Trend

Q2 2025:

Producers in Europe faced higher input costs for certain key raw materials, especially with elevated sulphuric acid levels adding to overall expenses. At the same time, the global weakness in fluorspar filtered into European markets, softening part of the feedstock cost base. This created a mixed picture as while some inputs increased production costs, others reduced them, leading to uncertainty in pricing decisions. With operating margins already under pressure, producers struggled to balance costs with market realities. Production in Europe remained cautious, with many suppliers adjusting output to match demand rather than running at full capacity. Profitability challenges discouraged any expansion of capacity, and most operations remained steady but restrained. Sellers leaned toward contract-based deliveries instead of active spot market engagement, preferring stability in an environment where product prices often hovered close to cost levels.

North America Aluminum Fluoride Price Trend

Q2 2025:

As per the aluminum fluoride price index, several overlapping forces shaped the direction of aluminum fluoride pricing. On the cost front, aluminum fluoride manufacturers benefited from easing prices for key inputs. Fluorspar and aluminum hydroxide, both vital raw materials, saw declines in their quotes, helping to trim production cost pressures. Sulfuric acid, which historically uplifts cost support, also began to soften, limiting upside for aluminum fluoride producers. Finished aluminum fluoride prices weakened, slipping toward cost thresholds that compressed profitability. That prompted producers to dial back operations and curtail production, opting for output aligned with immediate demand rather than building inventories. Besides, downstream aluminum smelters leaned heavily on just‑in‑time strategies, scaling back on orders and eschewing bulk buying. This defensive posture meant aluminum fluoride purchases were held to the essentials, limiting overall market uptake.

Asia Pacific Aluminum Fluoride Price Trend

Q2 2025:

Aluminium fluoride prices in the Asia Pacific region reflected a mix of raw material dynamics, regional production adjustments, and muted demand from downstream aluminium smelters. The market moved in line with global softness, with cost pressures and limited procurement interest shaping the overall price environment. Fluorspar, the key feedstock, saw steady weakness across Asia due to an oversupplied market and subdued demand. Imports of low-priced material into regional markets added further pressure, keeping procurement costs low for producers. At the same time, rising aluminium hydroxide and persistently high sulphuric acid prices partially offset the easing effect from cheaper fluorspar. This created a conflicting situation where raw material costs did not provide uniform relief, and producers struggled to balance declining selling prices with higher production expenses.

Q4 2023:

The aluminum fluoride pricing trends in Asia Pacific are examined, reflecting the role of the region as a major global production hub and consumer market, with price dynamics heavily influenced by supply chain efficiencies, regional demand surges, and policy shifts in major economies.

Product Description

Aluminum fluoride (AlF₃) is a chemical compound derived from aluminum and fluorine, used in the production of aluminum. It has various forms, including anhydrous aluminum fluoride and its hydrates. This compound is notably insoluble in water and organic solvents, which makes it useful in various industrial applications.

Aluminum fluoride is used in the Hall-Héroult process for aluminum smelting, where it acts as a flux, lowering the melting point of alumina and increasing the conductivity of the molten bath. This makes aluminum extraction more effective.

Aluminum fluoride also contributes to the production of ceramics and glass by lowering the melting point and improving the viscosity of molten glass. It is also used in specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals as a catalyst or intermediate in chemical reactions. Aluminum fluoride's hydrated forms, such as rosenbergite, can occur naturally, but its handling should be cautious due to its potential irritation to the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract.
