Borax Pentahydrate prices in the United States saw a small increase of 1.0% in August 2025, as orders remained firm across construction, personal care, and fertilizer applications. The modest upward price move occurred, even with stable soda ash feedstock prices, because of regional supply tightness and increased input costs. While US soda ash prices dropped by 0.5% from lower demand levels, Borax Pentahydrate producers continued to incur higher energy costs and additional logistic costs. The balance of moderate supply and improved export demand moved prices upwards to reflect the cautious, yet firm market.
