February 25 2026
KIQI
March 25, 2026 — After a period of volatility in 2025, global potassium hydroxide prices are stabilizing in 2026, with the average global price forecast to range between USD 1.00 and USD 1.10 per kilogram.
Regional price dynamics remain distinct:
- Northeast Asia: USD 0.98–1.05/kg (well-supplied market)
- Europe: USD 0.78–0.88/kg (oversupply and energy cost pressures)
- North America: USD 1.00–1.15/kg (strong industrial demand)
-
Middle East: USD 1.20–1.30/kg (highest due to import reliance)
Market analysts cite balanced supply-demand fundamentals and moderating energy costs as key stabilizing factors. However, rising raw material (potassium chloride) costs continue to pressure profit margins for producers.
