- Global hydrogen peroxide prices showed a mixed to firm trend in Q1 2026, with stability in early months followed by a rise toward March due to cost pressures.
- Feedstock and energy costs increased, especially due to higher crude oil and gas prices, raising production and transportation expenses.
- Downstream demand from paper, textiles, and chemical processing remained steady, supporting gradual price recovery.
Asia
In Q1’26, hydrogen peroxide price curve witnessed upward movement in the Asian region. In India, prices moved from about INR 38.63/kg (Spot) in January to around INR 39.35/kg in March, though on a quarter-on-quarter basis, prices were lower by about 2.16%, reflecting earlier weakness. The market remained stable in the initial phase due to average operating rates and balanced demand from the paper and textile sectors. However, in March, rising crude oil and natural gas costs, along with increased freight expenses due to geopolitical tensions due to Iran war, pushed prices upward. In China, similar conditions were observed, where increased logistics and production costs led to a notable rise in prices, supported by steady demand from the paper industry and limited supply pressure.
Europe
In Europe, prices of hydrogen peroxide were resilient amid rising energy costs and production costs during the quarter. Increases in energy costs pushed up production costs, whereas stable demand from paper production and water treatment applications helped to support the prices. The supply-demand situation was balanced, but increased operating costs did not allow any declines in prices especially in March when freight and insurance rates increased drastically.
North America
In North America, hydrogen peroxide prices showed moderate firmness during the quarter. Higher energy and transportation costs supported the market, while demand from paper bleaching, healthcare, and chemical processing sectors remained steady. Production levels were stable, but cost pressures and steady consumption kept prices from weakening. Buyers maintained cautious procurement, focusing on immediate requirements.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, hydrogen peroxide prices are expected to remain slightly firm, supported by persistent cost pressures and stable downstream demand.

Asia
Hydrogen peroxide prices in Asia recorded notable movement during Q4 2025, witnessing upward movement in the early part of the quarter to a decline toward its close. At the start of the quarter, supply tightened as domestic manufacturers undertook scheduled maintenance, while demand from the caprolactam and papermaking sectors picked up, collectively driving a significant price increase. The market held at elevated levels for a period before gradually stabilizing. However, as the quarter progressed, conditions shifted considerably. Supply returned to ample levels following the resumption of operations, while downstream demand, particularly from the printing and papermaking industries, weakened. This imbalance placed consistent downward pressure on prices, which declined steadily through the remainder of the quarter. By the close of Q4, prices had retreated well below the quarter's peak, reflecting a market weighed down by oversupply and subdued end-user activity.
Europe
Hydrogen peroxide prices in Europe broadly followed the pattern observed in Asia during Q4 2025. An initial phase of price firmness, supported by tighter availability and improving downstream interest, gave way to a more difficult market environment as the quarter advanced. Supply conditions eased, while demand from key consuming sectors, including paper processing and chemical manufacturing, remained largely tepid. Prices trended lower through the latter portion of the quarter, with market participants maintaining a cautious stance amid limited restocking activity. By quarter-end, prices had settled at a weaker level compared to the quarterly peak.
North America
In North America, hydrogen peroxide prices followed a comparable trajectory during Q4 2025. The prices were about 313 USD/MT in October. Early-quarter price strength, driven by tighter supply and a temporary uptick in downstream demand, proved difficult to sustain as availability improved and end-user buying slowed. Demand from the paper, textile, and water treatment sectors remained measured, providing little support for prices as the quarter progressed. The market gradually softened, and by the end of Q4, prices had declined from their earlier highs, aligning with the broader global trend of post-surge correction.
About Hydrogen Peroxide
In appearance, pure hydrogen peroxide is a pale blue, clear liquid, which is slightly more viscous than water. Hydrogen peroxide is known to be the simplest peroxide. It is used as a bleaching agent, an oxidizer, and an antiseptic agent. Concentrated hydrogen peroxide, or high-test peroxide, works as a reactive oxygen species that is used as a propellant in rocketry.

Hydrogen Peroxide Production Processes
- Production of Hydrogen Peroxide from Anthraquinone
Anthraquinone is hydrogenated to the corresponding anthrahydroquinone using a palladium catalyst in this process. When the hydrogenated product is autooxidized, the hydrogen atoms transfer to oxygen, producing hydrogen peroxide and regenerating anthraquinone.
