In the first week of Q3 2025, U.S. hydrogen peroxide prices held steady, despite falling natural gas costs that lowered production expenses. Inventory levels remained ample, preventing price drops, while demand showed a mixed trend—weak in textiles due to falling cotton prices but stable-to-firm in pulp and paper, buoyed by tax reforms supporting U.S. manufacturing. No plant outages or supply issues were reported, maintaining a balanced market. Although global trade uncertainties and tariff delays pose risks, potential Fed rate cuts and cotton price stabilization may drive a short-term demand recovery. Overall, the market remained well-supplied with firm downstream support, keeping prices stable despite cost-side fluctuations.
