During the second quarter of 2025, the chloroprene prices in the USA reached 4184 USD/MT in June. As per the chloroprene price chart, prices were shaped by a combination of operational, regulatory, and market pressures. Besides, the indefinite suspension of production at Denka Performance Elastomer’s facility in Louisiana became the most significant factor, as it removed a key source of domestic supply. Although the plant initially went offline for scheduled maintenance, Denka’s decision not to restart operations created a sudden shift in supply expectations, pushing buyers to rely more heavily on imports and limited inventories.

During the second quarter of 2025, the chloroprene prices in the United Kingdom reached 4176 USD/MT in June. Chloroprene pricing was chiefly shaped by fluctuations in the cost of its precursors, notably butadiene. When upstream feedstock underwent downward pressure, it provided a moderating effect on prices. Suppliers, responding to cost shifts and broader market sentiment, adjusted their offerings in turn, influencing domestic pricing patterns. At the same time, supply-chain disruptions, whether linked to logistical challenges or constrained production, introduced volatility, especially as balance between supply and demand shifted across various industry segments.

During the second quarter of 2025, chloroprene prices in Germany reached 2537 USD/MT in June. Chloroprene pricing was notably influenced by shifts in the cost of its principal feedstock, butadiene. Early in the quarter, butadiene prices declined significantly, reflecting soft demand and improved availability of supply. This easing in feedstock pressure helped ease production cost burdens for chloroprene manufacturers Besides, demand from key industrial sectors such as automotive and construction remained mixed, which tempered any potential price gains.

During the second quarter of 2025, the chloroprene prices in Japan reached 1976 USD/MT in June. Supply-side dynamics reinforced this trend. With production concentrated in a few players, the market remained sensitive to capacity constraints. Expectations of sustained demand growth, especially from downstream sectors such as automotive and manufacturing, created a tight balance between supply and demand. This constrained environment provided further support for price stability and upward momentum.

During the second quarter of 2025, the chloroprene prices in Brazil reached 4477 USD/MT in June. Brazil’s automotive and manufacturing sectors saw continued activity, supporting steady demand for chloroprene. At the same time, fast‑growing usage of chloroprene in construction, adhesives and industrial rubber items, driven by infrastructure and manufacturing expansions, added to demand pressures. Upstream cost shifts also mattered. Feedstock volatility, particularly in markets where butadiene prices fluctuated, translated into higher production costs for chloroprene in Brazil.

Europe Chloroprene Price Trend

Q2 2025:

European pricing of chloroprene reflected a confluence of factors rooted in both supply‑side and demand‑side forces. On the supply side, fluctuations in the costs of essential raw materials played a prominent role. Persistent pressure on energy markets continued to elevate production costs, while past disruptions in upstream operations had constrained availability. This supply tightness gave producers reason to adjust pricing, even as demand remained uneven. Producers also seemed to take a strategic stance. Some tempered prices to mitigate the pressure of slackening demand, while others sought to shore up margins against the backdrop of high operational costs. The interplay between these tactical adjustments and unstable input cost benchmarks contributed to intermittent price movements.

North America Chloroprene Price Trend

Q2 2025:

As per the chloroprene price index, prices were shaped by multiple supply-side pressures and structural changes in the market. The most significant factor was Denka Co. Ltd.’s decision to indefinitely suspend chloroprene rubber production at its US subsidiary in Louisiana. The facility was already operating under constraints due to emission regulations, supply chain disruptions, and workforce shortages. The announcement of an indefinite suspension reduced market confidence in the long-term stability of local supply, creating upward pressure on prices. Regulatory and environmental costs also weighed heavily on production economics. Broader macroeconomic conditions also contributed. Inflationary pressures drove up the cost of raw materials and energy, both of which are central to chloroprene manufacturing.

Product Description

Chloroprene, also called 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene, is an organic compound and a monomer that is primarily used in the production of synthetic rubber known as polychloroprene. It has the chemical formula C₄H₅Cl and is composed of a four-carbon backbone with one chlorine atom attached to one of the carbons. Its molecular structure can be represented as ClC=CH-CH=CH₂. This arrangement gives the compound the reactive sites needed for polymerization into polychloroprene. The process of producing chloroprene usually entails chlorinating butadiene and then dehydrochlorination to form the desired compound. It is similar to natural rubber, providing good flexibility and resilience and exhibits exceptional resistance to weathering, ozone, oil, and various chemicals.
