In June 2024, the price of caustic soda flakes stood at USD 110/ton, a 7% decline from USD 118/ton in June 2023. This drop can be attributed to softened demand from downstream industries and improved supply conditions in key exporting countries like China and India. The reduction reflects a cautious market outlook amid ongoing global economic adjustments.

Contrastingly, July 2024 saw a reversal in trend, with prices climbing to USD 114/ton from USD 109/ton in July 2023, marking a 5% year-on-year increase. This rise may be linked to seasonal demand increases or temporary disruptions in supply chains, potentially from maintenance shutdowns or logistics constraints.

By September 2024, the market had stabilized, with prices remaining flat at USD 110/ton, the same as in September 2023. This indicates a moment of equilibrium in the market, where supply met demand without significant external pressures driving volatility.

Looking ahead to 2025, Expert Market Research suggests a regionally mixed pricing outlook. In Asia and the Middle East, prices are expected to remain relatively steady, supported by balanced demand-supply dynamics. However, some markets may face downward pressure due to macroeconomic challenges, inventory buildups, or weakening downstream consumption.

Overall, the caustic soda flakes market is expected to maintain moderate stability in 2025, with region-specific factors influencing short-term price movements. Stakeholders should monitor industrial demand trends, especially in alumina, textiles, and pulp and paper sectors, to navigate pricing dynamics effectively.
