Sodium Percarbonate Price Trend Analysis 2026: Latest News, Historical Prices, Market Insights, Supply Demand Analysis & Price Drivers

Sodium Percarbonate Price Trend H2 2023
Sodium percarbonate prices were observed to be fluctuating throughout the second half of the year 2023. In the Asian market, particularly China, the third quarter was still a little positively inclined as the feedstock soda ash and hydrogen peroxide costs showed an uptick during this time.
The manufacturing costs increased for manufacturers which hindered them from reducing the prices despite humble demands. Moving forward, however, the geopolitical uncertainties and other major events in the fourth quarter didn’t let the demands improve. Especially for the offshore trade the orders declined significantly from the European markets. This was happening in the wake of the rising Israel and Hamas conflict.
The European region was still coming to terms with the Russia and Ukraine war when the Red Sea crisis emerged. Suez Canal, the major maritime gateway between Europe and Asia, saw a significant decline in vessel volumes. Thus, the otherwise expected rise in sodium percarbonate demands could not be seen. Prices took a serious downfall in the final quarter of 2023. Overall, the markets remained anchored for most of the H2’23.

Sodium Percarbonate is made via the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate, so the price trend are also largely determined by the market behavior of the feedstock chemicals. Both hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate experienced fluctuating price trend throughout the discussed period, causing the market trend for Sodium Percarbonate to oscillate simultaneously.
At the beginning of the first quarter, the existing inventories could easily cater to the market demands from various downstream industries like detergent, anti-freezing, chemical, bleaching, etc. For a long time, there were no new queries, and the prices swung low. It was around the change of quarters that the Sodium Percarbonate market picked up a little with the continuous movement of stocks. Still, soon enough, the supplies again saturated the market, returning to the original price position. Overall, the market wavered at the lower end of the curve.
About Sodium Percarbonate
Sodium Percarbonate appears as a colourless, crystalline solid. It is formed by the addition of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. It is a hygroscopic and water-soluble solid. It is often abbreviated as SPC and contains 32.5% by weight of hydrogen peroxide. Sodium Percarbonate is often utilised in some eco-friendly bleaches.

Sodium Percarbonate Production process
- Production of Sodium Percarbonate via Reaction of Hydrogen Peroxide and Sodium Carbonate; and via Dry Sodium Carbonate.
Sodium Percarbonate is often made by reacting anhydrous or hydrated sodium carbonate (with 75 to 90% by wt. Na2 CO3) with a concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution of 50-80% by wt. and evaporating the small quantities of liberated water during the reaction.
Frequently Asked Questions
The sodium percarbonate outlook remains cautious. Prices faced downward pressure in Q4 as the Israel-Hamas conflict and Red Sea crisis disrupted Suez Canal shipping, sharply reducing European offshore orders. Elevated soda ash and hydrogen peroxide feedstock costs had earlier supported prices in Q3, but weak demand prevented any meaningful recovery. A turnaround would require geopolitical stabilization, restored freight flows through the Suez Canal, and a rebound in European demand; absent those, the market is likely to stay anchored at softer levels.
Sodium percarbonate prices are shaped by three main forces. First, feedstock costs: rising soda ash and hydrogen peroxide prices lift manufacturing costs, keeping offers firm. Second, demand weakness: geopolitical conflicts weigh on offshore orders, particularly from Europe. Third, freight and trade disruption: shipping crises such as disruption of Suez Canal transit curb expected demand and can pull prices sharply lower. Feedstock-driven cost pressure is the main support, while demand erosion and logistics bottlenecks are the main drags.
The major producing and exporting country in the sodium percarbonate market is China, where manufacturing costs are anchored and offshore supply originates. Europe functions primarily as an importing region, with demand sensitive to freight and geopolitical disruptions. Key companies include OCI Peroxygens LLC (United States), PJSC Khimprom (Russia), Ak-Kim Kimya (Turkey), and Hodogaya Chemical Co., Ltd (Japan). This concentration means supply security for European buyers is closely tied to Asian export flows and maritime route stability.
Sodium percarbonate is produced from two primary feedstocks: dry sodium carbonate (anhydrous or hydrated, 75-90% Na₂CO₃) and concentrated hydrogen peroxide (50-80% by weight). The dry sodium carbonate is treated directly with the hydrogen peroxide solution, triggering a reaction that releases water, which is then evaporated to yield granular sodium percarbonate. The finished product is used across laundry detergents and oxygen bleaches, household and surface cleaners, industrial textile and pulp bleaching, wastewater treatment as an oxidising agent, agriculture as a fungicide and algaecide, and dental products such as toothpaste and denture cleaners.
Sodium percarbonate demand is driven by the detergent, agriculture, pulp and paper, wastewater treatment, dental, textile, metal surface treatment and chemical synthesis sectors. Elevated soda ash and hydrogen peroxide costs push manufacturing expenses higher, limiting price reductions despite modest demand. Geopolitical conflicts and shipping disruptions can disrupt offshore trade, sharply cutting orders from European markets and causing prices to fall significantly.
Procurement Resource assesses sodium percarbonate prices through a structured methodology combining primary engagement with producers, suppliers and traders, secondary market data, continuous monitoring of feedstock and input costs, trade-flow and inventory tracking, and exchange or spot benchmarks. All inputs are validated and translated into a transparent price assessment and outlook. The detailed methodology is available on the Procurement Resource website.
