In India, the highest-cost reporting region, allyl chloride prices extended their climb through H1 2026 after a sharp late-2025 surge tied to tight regional supply. The India average rose from USD 1,517/MT in Q1 2026 to USD 1,580/MT in Q2, a gain of about 4.2%. Globally, the average rose from USD 1,399.25/MT in Q1 2026 to USD 1,443.75/MT in Q2, a gain of about 3.2%, as firm demand across every tracked region outweighed a modest early-2026 pullback in India. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 1,450-1,550/MT is expected, with tight supply conditions across most regions keeping the market firm.
Allyl chloride is produced through the high-temperature chlorination of propylene, yielding a key chemical intermediate used primarily to manufacture epichlorohydrin, the building block for epoxy resins. Epoxy resin production for construction, wind-energy composites, and coatings accounts for the largest share of global demand, with allyl alcohol and glycerol synthesis, and agrochemical and pharmaceutical intermediate manufacture, making up most of the remaining major uses. Propylene and chlorine feedstock costs, epichlorohydrin and epoxy resin demand, Chinese production capacity, and freight and logistics reliability are the drivers that move price most consistently.
The supply-demand balance for allyl chloride through the remainder of 2026 leans toward continued firmness across every tracked market. Tight domestic supply and import dependence on West Asian feedstock continue to support Indian pricing, unplanned maintenance has tightened North American merchant availability, and European supply stays constrained by Rhine barge logistics disruptions even against comparatively soft downstream demand. Chinese pricing remains the lowest-cost benchmark, supported by favourable propylene and chlorine cost economics alongside structural wind-energy-linked epoxy resin demand growth.
The primary upside risk is further West Asian feedstock disruption combined with tighter North American and European logistics, which would push prices above the forecast range. The primary downside risk is an easing of Indian import supply constraints combined with softer epoxy resin demand, which would pull prices back below the forecast.
