Through the first half of 2026, allyl chloride pricing tracked a two-phase propylene feedstock path. Early in the half, the escalation of Middle East tensions from late February pushed crude oil and naphtha sharply higher, tightening propylene supply into Asia and lifting production costs; Chinese spot offers firmed in step as feedstock pass-through pushed allyl chloride values upward through the first quarter. As the geopolitical disruption eased and Middle East flows normalised through the second quarter, a concentrated wave of new Chinese PDH capacity reasserted itself, easing Northeast Asian propylene and pulling raw-material cost support back down. Allyl chloride values retraced accordingly, with Chinese spot offers varying by region on purity and logistics differences rather than any firm directional momentum by period's end.
Downstream, the picture was more constructive. Demand from the epichlorohydrin chain remained the principal pull for allyl chloride, reinforced by firmer epoxy resin economics. Chinese epoxy resin prices carried an upward bias through the first quarter on improving export inquiries and resilient domestic construction and electronics-laminate demand. This downstream firmness helped cushion the Q2 feedstock pullback, leaving the market broadly balanced through H1 rather than tilting sharply in either direction. Steady agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and water-treatment offtake provided an additional baseline of consumption.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, allyl chloride prices are likely to trade within a narrow, slightly soft band over the coming quarters. Persistent propylene oversupply from Chinese expansions should cap upside, while resilient epichlorohydrin and epoxy resin demand provides a floor; the net direction will hinge on how quickly feedstock length clears against the pace of downstream restocking, and on whether Middle East supply risk re-escalates.

In 2025, the allyl chloride market followed a mixed but largely firm trajectory, with pricing primarily shaped by fluctuations in propylene, its key feedstock, and steady demand from downstream industries. During the first half of the year, prices maintained an upward trend as rising propylene values steadily increased production costs, prompting manufacturers to pass through higher input expenses. Demand from pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, water treatment, epichlorohydrin, and allyl alcohol production remained supportive, helping sustain balanced market conditions. Domestic supply chains operated efficiently, while the absence of major freight or policy disruptions kept market movements gradual rather than abrupt.
In the third quarter, the market shifted to a more mixed pattern as softer propylene costs and cautious procurement from downstream derivative producers initially weighed on prices. However, this weakness proved temporary, as feedstock values later stabilized and modest replenishment activity from buyers helped restore market balance. By the fourth quarter, allyl chloride prices softened further in the opening phase, particularly in Asian markets, due to lower propylene costs and restrained demand from epichlorohydrin and epoxy resin sectors. Toward year-end, a mild recovery in feedstock economics and improving downstream interest helped prices stabilize within a narrow range.
Allyl chloride is a colourless liquid that is soluble in common organic solvents but insoluble in water. Its primary conversion product is epichlorohydrin, which is used in the production of plastics. It is a derivative of chlorinated propylene.
