In April 2025, aluminosilicate prices increased in both Asia and Europe. The main reasons were strong demand and not enough supply. In China, large infrastructure projects led to higher demand, which pushed prices up. At the same time, limited supply made the situation tighter. In Germany, prices increased even more as construction activity picked up and import delays made it harder to get materials. Even with global economic challenges and trade issues, both countries kept using aluminosilicate widely in construction and industry.

 Key Takeaways:

• Aluminosilicate prices rose in Asia and Europe in April 2025.
• Germany faced supply issues alongside a pickup in construction and manufacturing activity.
• Both countries saw limited availability of aluminosilicate despite different inflation trends.

In China, aluminosilicate prices surged by 1% in April. The main reason was strong demand from the construction sector, especially civil engineering. This part of the industry grew a lot, with activity rising by 6.4 points compared to March, showing a big jump in infrastructure projects. New developments like AI technology parks and advanced factories also increased the need for building materials such as aluminosilicate.

Trade tensions added more pressure to the situation. After the U.S. put tariffs on Chinese goods, China hit back with a 125% tariff on American products. This is likely to change China’s trade routes and make the country look for new trading partners. As a result, the global supply and movement of aluminosilicate could be affected in the short term.

In Germany, aluminosilicate prices rose sharply by 5.2% in April. This happened even though overall industrial producer prices in the euro area went down. The increase was mainly due to strong demand and limited supply. Germany’s manufacturing sector grew for the second month in a row, which boosted the need for aluminosilicate. Construction activity also picked up, helped by steady material costs, and improving confidence in the building sector.

On the supply side, shipping issues caused delays in getting raw materials. There were fewer shipments coming from Asia, and some ports in Europe faced problems that slowed things down. On top of that, the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China added more uncertainty to global supply chains, making it harder for Germany to import raw materials like aluminosilicate.

ChemAnalyst predicts that aluminosilicate prices in China and Germany will probably keep rising in the next few months. In China, ongoing infrastructure projects and shifts in trade caused by tariffs will keep supplies limited. In Europe, construction is recovering well, but continued shipment delays will keep prices under pressure. With global trade tensions ongoing and supply chains still unstable, both regions are likely to face higher costs, pushing aluminosilicate prices even further up.
