Industry sources report that limited availability of raw materials and production constraints have led to a shortage of hydrogen peroxide in the market. This supply crunch has coincided with a seasonal rise in demand from key sectors such as textiles, pulp and paper, and water treatment, further intensifying upward price pressure.
From January to mid-March 2025, hydrogen peroxide prices in the Indian domestic market exhibited a U-shaped pattern on a weekly basis. Prices remained fairly stable in January but started to drop in late January, touching ₹20/kg (~$0.23/kg) and hitting a low point around mid-February, possibly due to decreased industrial demand or oversupply. Beginning in March, prices started a slow rebound as market demand levelled off, especially from the textile and paper industries. April experienced ongoing growth fuelled by restocking efforts and enhanced demand downstream.
Market participants are closely monitoring the situation, with expectations that prices may remain elevated in the near term unless supply normalises or import volumes increase. Stakeholders are advised to assess procurement strategies accordingly as volatility continues to influence the chemical’s pricing dynamics whereas market currently on stable phase.
