During the last week of June 2026 the US Epichlorohydrin market witnessed a sharp price increase, rising by approximately 3%. This weekly advance extends the surging 12-week bullish trend across North America. The primary catalyst behind this price appreciation was the escalating cost of imported Epichlorohydrin volumes sourced from key trading partners: Germany, India, and South Korea. Because domestic supply required supplementation by overseas material, surging raw material costs abroad directly impacted US landed prices. In Germany, a massive 23.28% jump in Propylene FD Hamburg forced producers to raise FOB offers. Similarly, India experienced rising glycerine feedstock costs, intensifying spot prices for Epichlorohydrin. Even in South Korea, a slight 1.29% increase in Refined Glycerine CFR Busan pushed up production expenses. Consequently, higher global acquisition costs directly forced US Epichlorohydrin sellers to adjust domestic valuations upward, maintaining absolute pricing power over end-users reliant on imported Epichlorohydrin inventories.
