Aluminium Chloride Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
Aluminium Chloride prices in the United States, the most expensive market in every quarter tracked in this report, rose 2.5% in Q2 2026 to USD 810.00/MT from USD 790.00/MT in Q1, continuing a climb without pause that has held since mid-2025. German prices moved differently, recovering 1.9% to USD 372.00/MT from USD 365.00/MT in Q1, a modest rebound after deteriorating chemical manufacturing demand had pulled that market lower in the prior quarter. Globally, the average rose from USD 494.60/MT in Q1 to USD 506.88/MT in Q2, a 2.5% gain. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 480.00-560.00/MT is expected, with tighter domestic supply, strong pharmaceutical and water treatment demand, and rising chlorine input costs likely to keep this market on its established, if unspectacular, upward path.
Aluminium Chloride is produced by reacting aluminium metal or aluminium oxide with chlorine or hydrochloric acid, yielding a versatile Lewis acid catalyst used extensively in petrochemical refining, particularly Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions, water and wastewater treatment as a coagulant, pharmaceutical synthesis, antiperspirant formulations, and dye and pigment manufacturing. Aluminium chloride drifted upward at the global level through 2025, slowly but consistently, in a market where water treatment, pharmaceutical, and fine chemical demand kept buying steady and nothing on the supply side broke the trend. Chlorine and aluminium feedstock costs, water treatment and pharmaceutical demand, and petrochemical catalyst applications are what drive prices in this market.
Aluminium Chloride Price Forecast for 2026
The outlook for Aluminium Chloride through H2 2026 stays firm, with expanding applications in pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, catalysts, and polymer manufacturing continuing to support structural demand growth. Growth is further supported by increasing adoption of advanced chemical processing technologies and rising capital investment across fast-growing industrial economies, with water treatment, pharma, and fine chemicals expected to keep buying steady even as no major supply-side disruption is currently anticipated.
The main upside risk is a further tightening of chlorine feedstock availability or accelerating pharmaceutical and water treatment demand, which could push prices higher than currently forecast. The main downside risk is a deeper or more prolonged deterioration in chemical manufacturing demand, similar to what pressured German prices lower in Q1 2026, spreading to other regions.

| Global Average | 480.00 - 560.00 | Tighter supply and firm pharma and water treatment demand support gains |
| United States | 790.00 - 850.00 | Tight domestic supply sustains the highest regional cost |
| India | 395.00 - 440.00 | Growing industrial demand drives continued firming |
| China | 355.00 - 395.00 | Steady manufacturing output keeps this the most affordable market |
| Germany | 365.00 - 410.00 | Recovering from softer chemical manufacturing demand |
