In the third quarter of 2023, the Asian chlorine market experienced fluctuations influenced by sluggish downstream industries and declining procurement rates. However, supply and demand found equilibrium in the later months, driving momentum upwards into the fourth quarter.

Later in the year, chlorine prices benefited from fair domestic and overseas demand, but trade challenges and economic downturns led to a downward trend and restricted the uptick in the chlorine dioxide price trend. In Europe, the chlorine market struggled throughout the third and fourth quarters due to production cuts induced by traders to stabilize the market amid the economic crisis and a shrinking German economy.

However, the North American market of chlorine dioxide saw an appreciation in chlorine prices in the third quarter, driven by increased costs of raw materials and freight charges, boosting production costs, and raising the prices of chlorine dioxide. Traders also seemed to benefit from the expanded profit margins as consumer confidence remained strong. Momentum continued into the fourth quarter, attributed to rising energy production costs and the onset of the festive season.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the price trend of Chlorine Dioxide is expected to follow a stable rise as the downstream demand and the consumer outlook for the sector look positive.

Chlorine Dioxide Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

The Chlorine Dioxide market behaved in a fluctuating manner throughout the discussed period. Driven by the market trend of feedstock Sodium Hypochlorite and Chlorine, for most of the said period, the prices were observed to be swinging low as the downstream pharma, chemical, and bleaching industries didn’t pose any substantial demands. And whatever limited queries were gathered could easily be catered by the existing stocks.

High trailing global inflation caused the industries to slow down. Even the high manufacturing markets like the Chinese markets were also found struggling. It was only around the middle of H1 2023, when the quarters shifted, that the prices inclined temporarily, but overall market sentiment remained dull.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, considerable improvements in the demand dynamic are required to witness some substantial growth in the market; till then, similar oscillations can be expected in Chlorine Dioxide price trend.

Chlorine Dioxide Price Trend for the Second Half of 2022

The price trend of Chlorine Dioxide are dictated by the price fluctuations of its primary feedstock reactant Sodium Chlorite.

Even though the second half of 2022 started steadily for the Northern American market with unnoticeable fluctuations, the latter quarter brought some challenges. Amid difficult climatic conditions with heavy blizzards and typhoons, supply chains could not sustain, and export disruptions strangled the market a little further.

For Asian countries, the latter half of the year started with a very unclear picture of the chlorine dioxide price trend, as China struggled with power rationing and monsoon posing low demand for the chemical not much shifted for the trend. However, stock clearance practices amid low demand did affect the prices around the year-end.

The second half had a slow start for the European market but as the fourth quarter approached inflation and rising energy prices pushed up the production costs considerably, so the sodium chlorite prices showed an upward rising trend around the year-end thereby, driving up the prices for chlorine dioxide.

Analyst insight

According to Procurement Resource, the price trend for chloride dioxide are going to exhibit a mixed-price tendency in the coming months. As the world economy is still reeling under the pressure of an impending recession, the demand is rising steadily, however, it is bound to occasional fluctuations given the current dynamics.

Chlorine Dioxide Price Trend For the First Half of 2022

Chlorine dioxide is obtained via the oxidation of sodium chlorite with chlorine. Hence, the price trend of chlorine dioxide closely mimic that of its feedstocks. The prices of sodium chlorite surged throughout the Asian market due to the re-emergence of covid-19 cases and rising demand from the homecare market.

The prices relaxed towards the end of June due to the baulking of the buyers amid the growing stagnation and demand destruction. However, chlorine dioxide prices continued to soar throughout the European and American domestic markets. The closure of Chlor-alkali plants in the US created supply shortages, along with the inflated upstream costs and robust demand, which strengthened the price trend of chlorine dioxide.
