The Final Week of December 2025 was a quiet week in the US Chloroform Market due to the balance between supply and limited downstream demand. The response from the market was one of caution and wait and see as producers-maintained contracts and did not focus on the spot market. While supply to the chlor alkali plants and the flow of raw materials continued without interruption, demand for Chloroform was limited, which had an overall negative effect on the market. Many Chloroform end user markets showed no growth in the last quarter of 2025, resulting in a very conservative approach regarding inventory replenishment and year-end adjustments. The supply chain for Chloroform remained intact through the holiday season, largely due to disciplined inventory processes and a lack of significant plant shutdowns. Continued international trade to countries such as Argentina, Japan and Mexico, remained at reasonable levels, with shipment levels remaining low due to weak demand in those areas. Overall, the Chloroform market closed out 2025 with a very balanced, yet uninspiring view of the ensuing year, predicting range-bound trading conditions in 2026.
