During the third quarter of 2026, the ferric sulphate prices in the United States reached 335 USD/MT in September. Prices moved upward through the quarter as domestic suppliers held firm on offers while plant operating rates stayed steady and availability of well specified material remained limited. Steady procurement from municipal water treatment authorities and industrial effluent plants kept offtake consistent, absorbing the volumes offered into the spot market. Distributors maintained lean inventories, which limited the volume of prompt material available for immediate delivery. Freight and handling charges on inbound cargo added to delivered values for buyers across the region. Suppliers showed little willingness to discount given the restricted availability of consistent grade material, reinforcing the upward tone through the period.
During the third quarter of 2026, the ferric sulphate prices in China reached 219 USD/MT in September. Prices increased as domestic producers kept plant operating rates steady while facing firmer feedstock and processing expenses. Export oriented buyers kept procurement active, which reduced the volume of material available to the local spot market. Downstream manufacturers serving water treatment and industrial effluent applications continued regular purchasing despite the firmer cost base. Freight and handling charges at major ports added to delivered values for buyers moving cargo into overseas markets. Suppliers stayed disciplined on offers and showed little interest in discounting, reinforcing the upward tone across the quarter.
During the third quarter of 2026, the ferric sulphate prices in Germany reached 274 USD/MT in September. Prices advanced as regional buyers maintained steady offtake of imported material despite firmer supplier offers. Tighter prompt availability across the European market encouraged purchasers to secure forward coverage rather than rely on spot purchases. Higher replacement costs linked to limited prompt supply added to the upward pressure on local quotations. Distributors maintained conservative inventory positions, which restricted the volume of material available to buyers seeking immediate delivery. Steady demand from municipal water treatment operators and industrial processors kept offtake consistent through the period, supporting the firmer tone.
During the third quarter of 2026, the ferric sulphate prices in India reached 251 USD/MT in September. Prices advanced as import dependent buyers faced firmer landed costs for material sourced from established overseas producers. Limited domestic availability of well specified material kept the market reliant on imported volumes, so movements in overseas quotations passed quickly into local offers. Steady procurement from water treatment contractors and industrial effluent plants absorbed available material and kept offtake consistent. Currency movements against supplying nations added to procurement costs for buyers managing foreign denominated purchases. Distributors kept inventories lean, which limited the volume of prompt material available for immediate delivery, reinforcing the firmer tone through the quarter.
During the third quarter of 2026, the ferric sulphate prices in Canada reached 341 USD/MT in September. Prices climbed as cross border availability tightened and replacement costs rose across the North American supply chain. Canadian buyers faced firmer regional offers as strong demand in the United States absorbed available volumes and reduced export flexibility for shippers. Processors serving municipal water treatment and industrial effluent segments maintained steady procurement despite the firmer pricing environment. Distributors kept inventories lean, which limited the volume of prompt material available for immediate delivery. Suppliers held firm on offers given the restricted availability through the quarter, reinforcing the upward tone.
Regional Coverage

The report also provides coverage of FOB and CIF prices, as well as the key factors influencing ferric sulphate prices.
Europe Ferric Sulphate Price Trend
Q3 2026:
The ferric sulphate price index in Europe moved upward through the quarter, supported by firmer replacement costs for imported material and steady demand from water treatment operators and industrial processors. Germany, the region's principal importing and consuming market, recorded firmer quotations as buyers maintained regular procurement despite firmer supplier offers. European consumers depend substantially on imported volumes, so firmer offers in supplying markets feed quickly into landed costs. Tighter prompt availability encouraged purchasers to secure forward coverage rather than rely on spot deliveries. Distributors kept inventories lean, which limited the volume of prompt material available to buyers seeking immediate delivery. Logistics constraints and periodic congestion at major ports restricted the timely movement of cargo and encouraged forward purchasing. Handling and storage requirements for a hygroscopic coagulant grade product limited the number of qualified suppliers able to serve large contracts. Currency movements against supplying nations added further uncertainty to procurement costs for regional buyers. Demand from municipal water treatment authorities and industrial effluent plants remained resilient despite the firmer cost base, reinforcing the upward tone through the quarter.

North America Ferric Sulphate Price Trend
Q3 2026:
The ferric sulphate price index in North America moved upward during the quarter, reflecting firmer replacement costs and steady downstream demand. The United States, the largest consuming market in the region, recorded firmer quotations as municipal water treatment operators and industrial effluent plants maintained active procurement of available material. Canada followed the same direction, with cross border buyers facing firmer replacement costs as strong demand in the United States absorbed exportable supply. Domestic producers ran at steady operating rates, which limited the volume of incremental material offered into the spot market. Availability of consistent grade material stayed limited, restricting the volumes offered for prompt delivery. Distributors kept inventories conservative, which reduced flexibility for buyers seeking immediate delivery. Logistics constraints at major ports and border crossings restricted the timely movement of inbound cargo and encouraged forward purchasing. Demand from water treatment, metal finishing and paper customers remained consistent across the quarter. Suppliers held firm on offers given the tighter prompt market, reinforcing the upward direction through the period.

The supplier must meet NSF/ANSI 60 and AWWA B406.
Product Description
Ferric sulphate, also known as iron(III) sulphate, is an inorganic salt of trivalent iron and the sulphate anion, and is distinct from ferrous sulphate (iron(II) sulphate), which contains divalent iron. Its molecular formula is Fe2O12S3 in Hill notation, commonly written Fe2(SO4)3. It is traded as a pale greyish-white powder, as hydrated crystals, and as an aqueous solution. The solid is hygroscopic and readily soluble in water, forming strongly acidic solutions that hydrolyse to colloidal ferric hydroxide. That hydrolysis underlies its principal function as a coagulant. The water industry is its main user, followed by textile, metal finishing and paper manufacturers. End uses include coagulation and flocculation in drinking water and industrial effluent treatment, sludge conditioning, mordants in textile dyeing, etchants for stainless steel, and precursors in pigment manufacture. Industrially, it is commonly produced by oxidation of ferrous sulphate with sulfuric acid and an oxidising agent such as hydrogen peroxide.
