September 26, News

According to the commodity analysis system, starting from September 1st, the hydrogen peroxide market has shown a warming trend with fluctuating increases.

Bullish factors push hydrogen peroxide prices continuously higher

Starting in September, terminal demand in the printing and paper industries began to decline. Meanwhile, some hydrogen peroxide manufacturers are still halting production for maintenance, easing supply pressures. As a result, both bullish and bearish forces are at play, leading to weak pricing for hydrogen peroxide. By September 4, the average market price in China had dropped to around 690 CNY per ton. Market transactions remained sluggish, further contributing to the downward trend.

In the second week, terminal demand improved across the printing and paper industries, leading to increased order volumes for hydrogen peroxide manufacturers. As a result, market transactions picked up, shipment levels rose, and supply tightened temporarily—causing prices to stabilize and even begin a modest upward trend.

However, as some manufacturers gradually resumed operations, the pace of this round of price increases for hydrogen peroxide was somewhat limited. Overall, prices climbed by 20 to 30 CNY per ton. By September 16, the average market price for hydrogen peroxide had risen to around 710 CNY per ton—a gain of more than 3% compared to the price recorded on August 8.

In the late part of the month, supported by rigid demand from end-users, the hydrogen peroxide market saw improved transactions and a continuous recovery in the market situation, with prices mainly on the rise. The average price of hydrogen peroxide in the Chinese market increased to around 740 CNY/ton, with a price increase exceeding 4%.

The hydrogen peroxide analyst believes that after the National Day holiday, demand from the printing and paper industries will rise, leading to tighter supply of hydrogen peroxide—and prices are expected to continue their upward trend in the near term.
