In the latter half of June 2025, U.S. chloroform prices rose by 1.7%, following a period of market stability. The slight uptick was driven by modest demand improvements from the agrochemical and pharmaceutical sectors, alongside stable but guarded supply. Domestic formulation activity in agrochemicals increased due to tariff-related uncertainty, while pharmaceutical demand remained steady amid regulatory challenges. Despite falling natural gas prices easing production costs, producers maintained cautious output strategies due to trade-related unpredictability. Inventory levels stayed comfortable, and no major supply disruptions occurred. Looking ahead prices are expected to trend slightly bearish due to weak upstream cost pressures and balanced fundamentals, supporting a stable and well-supplied chloroform market in the near term.
