China's 98% smelting sulfuric acid price eased over the week as spot trading weakened and recovering supply added pressure. Elevated sulfur and metal ore costs provided partial support, but the market faces further downside as lower-priced regional supplies increase competitive pressure.
Copper smelters are relying on by-product sulfuric acid revenues to offset losses from negative concentrate treatment charges. Strong acid prices are supporting smelter profitability, with prices remaining elevated. The trend underscores the key role of sulfuric acid in smelter economics and suggests continued price strength.

Asia
Throughout 2025, a stable to firm price direction was evident in the sodium persulfate market, largely due to a balanced supply and demand pattern from industries. In Asia, prices were steady, with production levels in China, India, and other important production centres remaining adequate to match stable demand from industries such as detergents, textiles, paper, and industrial cleaning agents. Although there were occasional upward movements in raw material costs, especially sulfuric acid, this had a temporary influence on production costs, thereby contributing to a stable price direction.
Europe
In Europe, prices also moved along a similar stable pattern. Early in the year, supply tightness from fluctuations in feedstock availability and, on a few occasions, transport logistics contributed to upward pressure on prices. Steady demand from chemical, detergent, and pulp markets also helped sustain a firm tone in the market. However, later in the year, improvements in logistics and stable feedstock costs contributed to a more tempered price advance. Industrial markets remained conservative, buying only what was needed to cover immediate requirements. Seasonal demand from personal care and specialty chemicals provided minimal additional support to prices.
North America
In the region of North America, the market for sodium persulfate was generally stable, reflecting an upward trend. Manufacturers continued to produce the product in consistent quantities, managing inventory levels to match the consistent rate of consumption from industries and households. There was an increase in the prices of the product over short periods, especially when local production was affected by constraints in the procurement of raw materials and minor issues related to logistics. The detergent, paper, and water treatment industries continued to purchase the product as usual, maintaining the stability in the market. Adjustments in the market, especially in the mid-year, related to the maintenance of production in the region and the cost of raw materials, caused minor fluctuations in the market, but the market maintained an upbeat sentiment.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, the market for Sodium Persulfate is expected to be stable, and significant changes in the market would be related to the cost of raw materials and the increased demand from the industrial sector.

Asia
In the second half of 2024, a downtrend in prices was seen in the sodium persulfate market, moving toward a stable path due to oversupply in key markets and decent consumption levels. Prices in Asia were under pressure during the early part of this period, with oversupply prevailing in key manufacturing centres. The consumption levels in industries such as detergents, textiles, and papers were stable, and oversupply resulted in a lower chance for prices to move upward. This was due to improved logistics, allowing for quicker transportation and hence contributing to oversupply in the market, leading to saturation levels. However, a few areas, such as industrial cleaning and packaging, provided a boost to prices during the later part of this period.
Europe
In Europe, the market situation was similar to the one experienced in Asia, with prices facing downward pressure. Industrial demand was low in the important end-use industries of detergents, pulp, and glass manufacturing. Economic uncertainty and the strength of the euro as a currency further favoured the import of raw materials into the region, which contributed to the low prices. Production was stable in the region, and this caused inventories to accumulate, making it a buyer’s market. Although the costs of the raw materials were relatively stable, the low demand did not allow the manufacturers to pass on the costs to the end-users.
North America
A similar trend was also seen in the North American market. Oversupply and weak demand from the detergents, paper, and industrial cleaning sectors led to a gradual fall in prices. The production levels in the region remained stable, and inventory levels were well managed. Although the cost of the raw materials remained consistent, the profitability levels remained weak as the growth in demand was sluggish and the buying habits of the consumers remained weak. The export market remained sluggish, and the oversupply from seasonal factors was compensated by the consistent production levels in the region.
Sodium persulfate is a strong oxidizing agent with a white color and crystalline structure. It decomposes to release oxygen and free radicals, making it an effective initiator in the polymerization reactions for the production of synthetic rubber, latex, and plastics. In the textile industry, the compound is used as a bleaching and desizing agent. The compound also finds applications in the hair bleaching, environment remediation, cleaning, and disinfecting industries.
