For the Quarter Ending September 2025
APAC
• In China, the Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Price Index fell by 6.6% quarter-over-quarter, reflecting weak demand and slower exports.
• The average Trichloroisocyanuric Acid price for the quarter was approximately USD 936.33/MT reflecting subdued spot activity and transport cost pressures.
• Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Spot Price remained pressured by weaker exporter inquiries and regional oversupply during the quarter.
• Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Price Forecast indicates limited upside near term absent recovery in industrial chlorine derivative demand.
• Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Production Cost Trend showed minor declines as feedstock chlorine prices softened and energy tariffs eased.
• Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Demand Outlook remains muted due to seasonal slowdown and lower downstream disinfectant formulation requirements.
• Elevated domestic inventories weighed on the Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Price Index, limiting sellers' ability to push prices higher.
• Several regional producers operated at steady rates, while incremental export competition kept Trichloroisocyanuric Acid margins under pressure.
Why did the price of Trichloroisocyanuric Acid change in September 2025 in APAC?
• Persistently weak downstream demand and slower exports reduced offtake, pressuring Trichloroisocyanuric Acid spot levels and inventories rose.
• Feedstock chlorine and energy cost easing supported margins slightly, but production continued to outpace domestic consumption levels.
• Logistics normalization improved shipment flows, but international competition plus lower regional enquiries kept near term price pressure.
North America
• The regional Price Index for Trichloroisocyanuric Acid fluctuated through Q3 2025 as seasonal pool-chemical demand, disinfectant buying and textile offtake alternately tightened and eased merchant availability; the Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Spot Price showed short-run rallies and corrections.
Why did prices in September 2025 change?
• Prices decreased in September 2025 after summer pool-season restocking tapered off and imports from Asia improved spot availability, removing some short-term premium pressure.
• Downstream uses: Major end-uses are pool sanitation (stabilized chlorine tablets/granules), industrial & municipal water treatment, disinfectants for institutional cleaning, textile bleaching and some paper/ pulp bleaching applications, these sectors set baseline demand.
• Production cost & supply: The Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Production Cost Trend was mixed, raw material (cyanuric/chlorine feedstock) costs were generally stable, while energy and logistics spikes during the quarter produced episodic cost pressure for producers.
• Demand & outlook: The Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Demand Outlook into Q4 is neutral-to-moderate as industrial disinfectant restocking and fall textile processing support steady offtake; the Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Price Forecast points to sideways-to-mildly-lower ranges unless upstream feedstock or shipping disruptions re-emerge.
Europe
• Europe’s Price Index for Trichloroisocyanuric Acid was volatile across Q3 2025, with the Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Spot Price moving between short-term tightness (industrial disinfectant programs) and soft patches (inventory digestion).
Why did prices change in September 2025?
• Prices increased in September 2025 as several institutional buyers and municipal contracts renewed purchasing for winter sanitation programs, and freight/backlog delays limited immediate replenishment—supporting spot premiums.
• Downstream uses: Key applications include public pool sanitation, institutional and industrial disinfectants, textile bleaching, water-treatment dosing, and certain niche paper/pulp bleaching uses; regulatory-driven disinfectant demand is a strong seasonal driver.
• Production cost & supply: The Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Production Cost Trend edged higher in Q3 because of localized energy and packaging-cost increases and tighter short-term availability of high-purity grades; imports softened but could not fully offset contract-driven demand.
• Demand & outlook: The Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Demand Outlook is constructive into Q4 on the back of institutional restocking; the Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Price Forecast signals a modest premium to Q3 averages through early Q4 unless logistic flows normalize quickly.
