Market Overview Q4 Ending December 2025

Northeast Asia: The hydrogen peroxide prices in Northeast Asia reached 0.12 USD/KG in December 2025. The upward pricing movement registered between September and December 2025 was 3.8%. The pulp and paper bleaching industry's solid demand, which supported consistent purchase activity throughout the quarter, was the primary driver of the modest price increase. Additional pricing support for local manufacturers was provided by stable costs for the anthraquinone feedstock and upstream hydrogen. Furthermore, controlled output levels from top producers impeded the supply of surplus goods on the market, hence reinforcing price increases. Solid procurement practices were supported by strong demand from the environmental cleanup and textile bleaching industries, and sourcing competition was heightened by a tightening supply situation stemming from sporadic plant operational changes, which kept market conditions generally favourable throughout the quarter.

Europe: The hydrogen peroxide prices in Europe reached 0.64 USD/KG in December 2025. The upward pricing movement registered between September and December 2025 was 2.5%. The price strengthening was underpinned by escalating energy costs across the region, as elevated electricity and natural gas prices significantly increased production expenses for European hydrogen peroxide manufacturers operating energy-intensive anthraquinone processes. Sustained demand from the pulp bleaching and wastewater treatment sectors maintained robust procurement volumes throughout the quarter. Tightened supply conditions, driven by capacity constraints at select production facilities, further limited regional availability. Steady consumption from the semiconductor cleaning and chemical synthesis segments provided additional offtake support, while firm upstream raw material costs reinforced upward pricing pressure across the supply chain throughout the quarterly period.

Southeast Asia: The hydrogen peroxide prices in Southeast Asia reached 0.64 USD/KG in December 2025. The downward pricing movement registered between September and December 2025 was 18.1%. The significant price correction was primarily attributed to weakened downstream demand from the pulp and paper and textile bleaching sectors, which moderated procurement volumes amid subdued manufacturing activity across the region. Increased supply availability from expanded domestic production capacity and competitively priced imports exerted substantial downward pressure on prevailing market rates. Declining upstream feedstock costs further eroded production cost support for regional manufacturers. Elevated inventory levels among key distributors prompted aggressive pricing concessions to stimulate buyer interest, while cautious procurement strategies adopted by end consumers, anticipating continued market softening, sustained bearish conditions throughout the quarter.

North America: The hydrogen peroxide prices in North America reached 0.37 USD/KG in December 2025. The downward pricing movement registered between September and December 2025 was 1.1%. The modest decline in marginal pricing suggested a reasonably balanced market environment, with consistent domestic production from top regional manufacturers largely offsetting moderate demand from the pulp bleaching and water treatment industries. Pricing was slightly lowered because of some relief on production costs from lower upstream energy costs. The fundamental offtake principles were maintained by steady demand from the mining and environmental cleaning industries, which reduced significant price swings and promoted rather stable market conditions during the quarter.

Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025

Northeast Asia: Hydrogen peroxide prices in Northeast Asia rose strongly, supported by robust demand from pulp and paper as well as textile bleaching industries. The hydrogen peroxide price index reflected higher procurement activity as seasonal manufacturing cycles added to consumption. Limited regional supply availability, coupled with stable feedstock costs, pushed prices upward. Export demand also contributed to market firmness, with tighter inventories supporting a bullish trend during this quarter.

Europe: In Europe, hydrogen peroxide prices fell, driven by subdued demand from the pulp and paper sector and weak industrial applications. The hydrogen peroxide price index declined as abundant availability and steady production outpaced consumption levels. Lower buying momentum in textile processing further added to bearish sentiment. Market participants also noted competitive import flows that pressured domestic suppliers, reinforcing a challenging environment for price recovery.

Southeast Asia: Southeast Asia experienced a modest decline in hydrogen peroxide prices, reflecting weaker industrial demand and softer consumption from downstream applications such as bleaching and water treatment. The hydrogen peroxide price index moved downward as consistent production levels created oversupply conditions. Competitive market dynamics also weighed on regional prices, while muted export opportunities limited avenues for stabilization. Buyers continued to adopt cautious procurement approaches in anticipation of further price corrections.

North America: In North America, hydrogen peroxide prices advanced steadily on the back of stronger demand from pulp and paper, healthcare, and water treatment sectors. The hydrogen peroxide price index reflected resilient consumption patterns, while rising utility and logistics costs added further support. Despite adequate domestic production, procurement activity increased as buyers sought to build inventories, contributing to upward momentum in prices during this quarter.
