Asia
In China, the prices of Fumaric Acid were ~USD 1,008.00/MT in April and ~USD 1,073.00/MT in June, showing a ~6.4% increase. Asian conditions strengthened as maleic anhydride availability tightened during May amid plant maintenance, while elevated n-butane costs restricted producers’ ability to reduce offers. Broader chemical purchasing also improved as buyers built precautionary inventories against supply and logistics disruptions. However, weaker unsaturated polyester resin demand from construction materials, sanitary ware and fiberglass applications limited industrial consumption. Fumaric acid nevertheless remained supported by product-specific availability and specialty food demand.
Europe
In Germany, the prices of Fumaric Acid were ~USD 1,185.00/MT in April and ~USD 1,194.00/MT in June, showing a ~0.8% increase. European conditions remained broadly firm as higher energy, feedstock and logistics costs raised replacement and production expenses. Precautionary procurement and supplier diversification added temporary support. However, building construction remained weak, restricting fumaric acid consumption through unsaturated polyester resins, coatings and composite applications and keeping the overall increase limited.
North America
In the United States, the prices of Fumaric Acid were ~USD 1,096.00/MT in April and ~USD 1,227.00/MT in June, showing a ~12.0% increase. Higher chemical logistics and energy costs supported replacement values early in the quarter. The completed acquisition of a major North American food-acid producer also strengthened strategic positioning in specialty food ingredients. Later, weaker housing and industrial activity restrained construction-related resin demand.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, fumaric acid conditions are expected to remain stable to firm, with specialty demand providing support while softer construction activity and easing upstream costs limit stronger gains.

Asia
In Asia, Fumaric Acid prices increased significantly during Q1’26 due to tighter feedstock availability and stronger export activity. In China, prices rose by approximately 25.5% from January to April 2026, supported by improving post-holiday procurement and stable demand from food additives and resin applications. In India, prices surged by nearly 16.1% amid higher import replacement costs and elevated freight expenses. Shipping disruptions linked to the Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz uncertainty further tightened regional supply chains and increased delivered costs.
Europe
In Europe, Fumaric Acid prices remained firm as higher energy, logistics, and import replacement costs supported the market. Germany recorded the highest increase globally, with prices rising by approximately 28.1% between January and April 2026. Elevated marine freight rates, vessel delays, and rising utility costs linked to Middle East disruptions continued supporting sentiment, while demand from food, beverage, and construction-linked resin sectors remained moderate.
North America
In North America, Fumaric Acid prices stayed firm during Q1’26 as rising global logistics costs and stable downstream demand supported the market. In the USA, prices increased by nearly 23.4% from January to April 2026 due to higher replacement costs and stronger sentiment across imported chemical intermediates. Demand from food processing, beverages, coatings, and resin manufacturing remained relatively balanced throughout the quarter.
Fumaric acid is a naturally occurring organic compound with the molecular formula C4H4O4. It is a dicarboxylic acid and is commonly found in certain fruits and vegetables. As a food additive, fumaric acid is used to enhance the tartness and acidity of various products. It also finds applications in the production of beverages, baked goods, and confectionery items. Moreover, fumaric acid is employed in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, where it serves as a key component in the synthesis of certain drugs and resins.

In this process, benzene is catalytically oxidized in a gaseous phase to yield maleic anhydride. Maleic acid is then created by hydrolyzing maleic anhydride. Finally, fumaric acid is created by further isomerizing maleic acid.
