Carbon Tetrachloride Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
Carbon Tetrachloride prices in Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 3.7% in Q2 2026 to USD 1,120.00/MT from USD 1,080.00/MT in Q1, extending a sharp climb tied to elevated chlorine and methane feedstock costs. Globally, the average rose from USD 894.00/MT in Q1 to USD 930.60/MT in Q2, a 4.1% gain, following a jump of 13.9% in Q1 alone. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 800.00-1,180.00/MT is expected, with elevated chlorine feedstock costs likely to keep this market firm.
Carbon Tetrachloride, chemically tetrachloromethane, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon that sits within the broader chloromethane product family alongside methyl chloride, dichloromethane, and chloroform, produced through the further chlorination of methane or as a byproduct of chloromethane manufacturing. While its historical use as a solvent, refrigerant, and fire extinguishing agent has been phased out under international ozone-depleting-substance regulations including the Montreal Protocol, it remains an essential feedstock intermediate in the production of chlorofluorocarbon substitutes and other fluorinated chemicals under controlled, non-emissive industrial processes. Downstream demand today centers almost entirely on closed-system chemical intermediate applications rather than the open, emissive uses common before regulatory phase-out. Chlorine and methane feedstock costs, fluorochemical intermediate demand, and regulatory production controls are what drive prices in this market.
Carbon Tetrachloride Price Forecast for 2026
The outlook for Carbon Tetrachloride through H2 2026 stays firm, tracking elevated chlorine and methane feedstock costs tied to the broader Strait of Hormuz-linked petrochemical cost environment. Steady demand from fluorochemical intermediate manufacturers, operating under tightly controlled and permitted industrial processes, should continue supporting consumption even as the pace of further gains likely moderates from the sharp Q1 2026 spike that characterized every region covered here.
The main upside risk is a further tightening of chlorine or methane feedstock availability, which would push production costs higher across every region. The main downside risk is a faster-than-expected normalization of feedstock costs combined with softer fluorochemical intermediate demand, which would ease some of the current price pressure.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 800.00 - 1,180.00 | Elevated chlorine feedstock costs keep this market firm |
| Germany | 980.00 - 1,300.00 | Constrained regulatory production controls sustain the highest cost |
| United States | 820.00 - 1,100.00 | Steady fluorochemical intermediate demand supports continued firmness |
| India | 760.00 - 1,000.00 | Growing chemical manufacturing demand drives continued gains |
| China | 660.00 - 880.00 | Large-scale production capacity keeps this the most affordable market |
