Asia
In China, the average price of Glyoxylic Acid was recorded at ~USD 1,095/MT in June. Market conditions weakened toward the end of Q2 as upstream cost support moderated and broader chemical-chain fundamentals softened. The restart of production capacity increased material availability, while insufficient downstream orders and sluggish shipments limited buying interest. Lower feedstock costs also reduced pressure on producers, making it difficult for sellers to sustain earlier cost-driven support. For India, the average Glyoxylic Acid price was ~USD 1,183/MT in June. The market remained influenced by regional supply availability and cautious downstream procurement, with buyers focusing on immediate requirements rather than building inventories.
Europe
In Germany, Glyoxylic Acid averaged ~USD 1,216/MT in June. European market conditions reflected a shift from elevated industrial cost pressure earlier in Q2 toward more moderate energy-related costs by June. This reduced support for chemical producers, while selective downstream purchasing restricted stronger market movement. Regulatory developments also remained relevant for the cosmetic segment, with the European Commission requesting a safety assessment of Glyoxylic Acid in hair-straightening products at concentrations up to 16%. The development could influence formulation decisions and future demand patterns in cosmetic applications.
North America
In the USA, the average price of Glyoxylic Acid was ~USD 1,250/MT in June. The market faced considerable upstream cost volatility during Q2, with elevated energy costs earlier in the quarter increasing pressure on chemical production economics. By late June, easing crude-market conditions reduced this pressure and improved the cost outlook for downstream chemical producers. However, demand remained measured, preventing stronger cost relief from translating into aggressive procurement activity. Buyers continued to monitor feedstock movements and replenished mainly against near-term requirements.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, Glyoxylic Acid markets are expected to remain sensitive to feedstock availability, energy costs, production restarts, and downstream demand from cosmetic and chemical applications.

Asia
In Asia, glyoxylic acid prices moved firmer by late Q1 2026 as the region faced stronger exposure to Middle East-linked feedstock and shipping disruptions. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz affected chemical supply chains through energy, freight, and petrochemical raw material availability. Asia’s dependence on imported crude-linked inputs made producers more vulnerable to cost pressure. The disruption was also relevant for glyoxylic acid because the product is linked to oxidation-based routes using upstream intermediates tied to petrochemical and chemical feedstock availability. Demand from pharma intermediates, agrochemicals, and vanillin-type applications remained steady but not strong enough to offset cost-led pressure.
Europe
Europe also recorded a firmer glyoxylic acid trend in Q1 2026, mainly due to higher logistics risk and tighter imported chemical availability. The region was affected by the wider disruption in petrochemical trade after Hormuz flows fell sharply from normal levels. Chemical market activity paused in early March as buyers and sellers reassessed freight schedules, insurance risk, and feedstock availability. European downstream consumption from cosmetics, pharma intermediates, and specialty chemicals remained cautious, but limited spot availability and higher supply-chain risk supported firmer sentiment.
North America
North America remained more stable than Asia and Europe due to stronger domestic feedstock access and better Gulf Coast logistics. The Port of Houston reported a 12.0% rise in chemical container exports in March and around 20.0% surge capacity for major disruptions, helping exporters respond to replacement demand. Local buyers remained cautious, but the region was less exposed to Hormuz-linked import risk. Demand from pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals stayed moderate, keeping the market balanced.
Glyoxylic acid is a colorless pungent smelling liquid that is found in nature as well as an intermediate in various metabolic pathways. It also plays a significant role in synthesis of many chemicals such as amino acids, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. It is also utilized in the textile industry as a dye-fixing agent and in domestic formulations. Due to its reactivity and versatility, glyoxylic acid is a valuable chemical building block in organic synthesis and industrial processes.
