Evonik is expanding downstream processing at its Fermas site in Slovakia for biosurfactants and pharmaceutical ingredients, adding commercial output. The capacity increase raises available supply of these specialty chemicals, likely putting downward pressure on prices.
Shares of Merck KGaA jumped 5.3% after unveiling the Bio-Techne purchase, reflecting investor optimism about the strategic fit. The stock has gained 5.9% over the past month, but unchanged earnings estimates suggest cautious upside potential.

Stay updated with the latest Sodium Perborate prices, historical data, and tailored regional analysis
Sodium perborate (NaBO3.nH2O) is a non toxic, environment friendly oxidizing and bleaching agent that releases hydrogen peroxide on dissolution, making it valuable across laundry detergents, household cleaners, personal care formulations, and the pulp and paper industry. Its pricing is closely tied to the availability and cost of boric acid and hydrogen peroxide, the critical feedstocks in its synthesis via oxidation of sodium metaborate.
Through H1 2026, sodium perborate markets showed a cautiously softening tone amid subdued procurement across key end uses. Detergent and household cleaning buyers, which anchor demand, showed restrained interest early in 2026 amid destocking by major formulators and tempered consumer spending. Boric acid held a firm posture through Q1, offering cost side support, but this eased into Q2 as feedstock availability normalised. Asian production, particularly from Chinese manufacturers, remained elevated, keeping international markets well supplied and pressuring offer values. In Europe, personal care and cosmetics demand offered modest counterbalance, though sentiment stayed cautious amid the regulatory shift away from perborate based bleaching agents. North America was largely range bound as detergent formulators pivoted toward alternative oxygenated systems. The half closed balanced to slightly bearish, with supply adequacy outweighing demand tailwinds.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, sodium perborate prices should stay under mild downward pressure through H2 2026 as Asian output outpaces demand recovery.

Asia
The market trend of sodium perborate gradually declined in the first quarter as the construction sector struggled to maintain its pace and thus negatively influenced the demand for sodium perborate. In the month of April, the prices increased with the push from the boric acid and tight supply of the product.
But soon, the performance of cosmetics, agriculture, and detergent industries subdued, and the prices of sodium perborate again took a bearish turn. The number of inquiries not only declined in the domestic markets but also from overseas buyers in the first two quarters of 2023, and thus, the price trend of sodium perborate declined.
Europe
The European countries enjoyed a stable demand for sodium perborate from the downstream industries, which helped in the surge in the price trend of sodium perborate. The market momentum also improved on account of the malfunctioning of the supply chains and the decline in the level of inventories in the first quarter.
The second quarter, on the other hand, suffered from the feeble movement of downstream sectors and an excess of imports, which increased the competitiveness in the region. However, during the end phase of this quarter, the rise in demand for personal care products positively influenced the price trend of sodium perborate.
North America
In the initial phase of the first quarter of 2023, the prices of sodium perborate faced a declining trajectory, but they soon stabilized with the revival of the construction and detergent sectors. In this quarter, the supply and demand of sodium perborate were able to maintain a stable equilibrium, which also helped the price trend of sodium perborate.
The second quarter, on the other hand, struggled, and the prices of sodium perborate fell by almost a double-digit percentage. The major cause of this downfall in the prices was the excess availability of sodium perborate and the weak economic conditions of the region.
Sodium perborate is a non-toxic and environment-friendly oxidizing and bleaching agent. It releases hydrogen peroxide when dissolved in water and thus is effective for stain removal and cleaning purposes. It is also a popular compound in the pulp and paper sector as well as in laundry detergents, household cleaners, and personal care products.

The reaction of borax and sodium hydroxide results in the formation of sodium metaborate. This intermediate again undergoes an oxidation reaction in the presence of hydrogen peroxide to give sodium perborate as the final product.
