Track Nitrosylsulfuric Acid Price Index Historical and Forecast

Executive Summary

The global Nitrosylsulfuric Acid market demonstrated mixed regional trends from Q4 2024 through Q3 2025, shaped by evolving downstream demand, feedstock cost movements, logistics disruptions, and regional supply dynamics. While North America experienced moderate firming in Q3 2025 amid tighter reagent-grade availability, APAC saw price corrections driven by expanded sulphuric acid output and softer industrial orders. Europe remained comparatively stable, with modest downward pressure due to improved logistics and stable feedstock costs.

In India, the Nitrosylsulfuric Acid Price Index declined by 2.56 percent quarter-over-quarter in Q3 2025, with the quarterly average at USD 254.43 per metric ton. Expanded sulphuric acid production and improved port operations increased supply availability, though Red Sea freight pressures partially offset raw material softness. In contrast, North America saw price firmness supported by dye and pigment procurement ahead of Q4 production cycles. Europe maintained balanced inventories with limited order visibility, resulting in stable-to-slightly-lower price realizations.

The outlook for Q4 2025 suggests limited volatility across regions. Demand from pharmaceuticals, dyes, and specialty intermediates remains steady but cautious, while cost structures are expected to remain manageable unless logistics disruptions intensify.

Introduction

Nitrosylsulfuric Acid plays a critical role in diazotization, nitrosation reactions, dye and pigment manufacturing, pharmaceutical intermediates, caprolactam synthesis, and fine chemical production. As a specialty acid derived primarily from sulfuric acid and nitric oxide systems, its pricing structure is closely tied to feedstock sulfuric acid, energy inputs, freight dynamics, and industrial demand cycles.

Between Q4 2024 and Q3 2025, the market experienced shifting momentum across regions. Seasonal procurement, monsoon-driven logistics tightening in India, European industrial moderation, and North American plant maintenance cycles created differentiated pricing behavior globally. This report presents a comprehensive review of quarterly price movements, production cost trends, supply-demand balances, and procurement outlook.

Global Price Overview

Globally, Nitrosylsulfuric Acid prices reflected a transition from upward momentum in late 2024 to moderated and regionally divergent trends by Q3 2025.

During Q4 2024, steady pharmaceutical expansion and seasonal textile production supported upward pricing across North America, APAC, and Europe. Q1 2025 introduced economic uncertainty in North America but sustained pharmaceutical demand provided partial stability. Asia benefited from stronger macroeconomic growth projections, while Europe maintained relative stability amid modest GDP expansion.

In Q2 2025, moderate price increases were observed in India and North America, driven by freight constraints and steady pharmaceutical procurement. By Q3 2025, regional divergence became more visible. India experienced a price correction due to supply expansion, North America recorded modest firmness linked to tighter merchant availability, and Europe moved toward stability-to-slight decline due to improved logistics and balanced inventories.

Regional Analysis

North America

In Q4 2024, Nitrosylsulfuric Acid prices in North America moved upward, supported by pharmaceutical API expansion and seasonal textile production. Logistics challenges and container shortages added incremental cost pressure but did not disrupt domestic supply significantly.

Q1 2025 introduced economic headwinds. GDP contraction concerns and trade imbalances affected broader chemical sentiment. However, pharmaceutical manufacturing remained resilient, stabilizing NSA demand.

During Q2 2025, modest price increases were observed, driven by steady API production and intermittent import delays. Logistics fluctuations and feedstock sourcing complexities contributed mild upward cost pressure.

In Q3 2025, the Price Index firmed modestly. Merchant availability of high-purity reagent lots tightened due to maintenance shutdowns at intermediate plants. Dye and pigment manufacturers accelerated procurement ahead of Q4 schedules. Production costs faced upward pressure from higher sulfuric acid feedstock prices and elevated energy and packaging costs.

The Q4 2025 outlook remains cautiously positive. Stable textile and specialty pigment demand supports pricing, though significant upside appears unlikely unless feedstock or logistics constraints intensify.

APAC with Focus on India

APAC showed strong momentum in Q4 2024, supported by robust textile exports and pharmaceutical growth. October 2024 prices rose 1.1 percent, followed by a 3.2 percent increase in November driven by pharmaceutical demand expansion.

In Q1 2025, Asia maintained moderate price stability supported by economic growth projections and resilient textile exports. Pharmaceutical expansion across India sustained consumption.

Q2 2025 recorded steady price increases in India. Spot prices moved from USD 260 per metric ton in April to USD 262 per metric ton in June. Freight tightening linked to Red Sea disruptions and monsoon-season restocking supported supplier margins.

However, Q3 2025 marked a turning point. The Nitrosylsulfuric Acid Price Index declined 2.56 percent quarter-over-quarter, with the average price at USD 254.43 per metric ton. Paradeep expansion and abundant sulphuric acid supply increased domestic availability. This reduced urgency among buyers and pressured ex-location pricing margins.

September 2025 price softness was driven by expanded sulphuric output raising inventories. Weak dye and pigment orders limited spot buying despite resilience in FMCG and selective pharmaceutical restocking. Elevated freight and longer transit times increased delivered costs, partially offsetting raw material savings.

The forward outlook suggests limited volatility. Seasonal demand recovery and improved port logistics may stabilize prices, but industrial order visibility remains cautious.

Europe

European pricing in Q4 2024 trended upward, supported by pharmaceutical and textile production cycles. Freight rates during colder months added moderate cost pressure.

Q1 2025 saw relative stability. The European Central Bank's modest GDP growth projection contributed to steady industrial demand. Pharmaceutical production remained the primary demand anchor.

In Q2 2025, prices fluctuated mildly due to inconsistent industrial activity. Limited feedstock volatility and moderate energy costs maintained cost balance.

Q3 2025 brought stability-to-slight decline. Subdued demand from dye and textile intermediates reduced procurement urgency. Improved logistics and stable sulfuric acid availability eased supplier pressure. Increased imports from Asia further softened cost structures.

The Q4 2025 outlook remains neutral. Converters hold sufficient inventories, and price direction depends largely on industrial demand recovery across EU manufacturing.

Production and Cost Structure Insights

Nitrosylsulfuric Acid production relies primarily on sulfuric acid integration and nitric oxide reactions. Key cost components include

Sulfuric acid feedstock
• Energy inputs
• Nitric oxide and related intermediates
• Packaging and specialty acid handling
• Freight and port charges
In Q3 2025, Indian production costs remained subdued due to stable feedstock pricing, though freight pressures persisted. North America experienced higher feedstock and energy costs, supporting price firmness. Europe benefited from stabilized sulfuric acid pricing and lower freight costs, moderating overall production expenses.

Plant maintenance in North America and Paradeep expansion in India demonstrate how capacity shifts directly influence regional price direction.

Procurement Outlook

Procurement strategies are increasingly cautious. Buyers across regions are balancing inventory discipline with protection against logistics disruptions.

In APAC, buyers are leveraging abundant domestic supply and improved port efficiency to negotiate competitive contracts.
In North America, specialty chemical producers are securing forward volumes amid tight high-purity availability.
In Europe, converters are maintaining sufficient stocks and monitoring industrial recovery signals before committing to large volumes.

Limited volatility is expected in Q4 2025 unless geopolitical freight disruptions intensify or feedstock sulfuric acid markets experience unexpected tightening.
