Copper Sulphate Pricing, Demand and Supply Overview
Copper Sulphate prices in Belgium, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 0.9% in Q2 2026 to USD 3,417.00/MT from USD 3,387.00/MT in Q1, extending a sharp 7.51% surge from the prior quarter as feedstock pressure continued building. US prices moved differently, recovering a modest 1.2% to USD 3,028.00/MT after a 5.0% oversupply-driven correction in Q1 tied to high import volumes from Mexico. Globally, the average rose from USD 3,084.86/MT in Q1 to USD 3,145.20/MT in Q2, a 2.0% gain. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 2,980.00-3,350.00/MT is expected, with healthy demand from agricultural, mining, and water treatment sectors likely to keep this market on a broadly firm path.
Copper Sulphate is a blue crystalline compound produced by reacting copper metal or copper oxide with sulphuric acid, serving as a critical agricultural fungicide and crop protection agent, particularly in vineyards and orchards, a feed additive for livestock nutrition, an electroplating and electrolyte solution component, and an algaecide in water treatment applications. Its dual dependence on copper metal prices and sulphuric acid feedstock costs makes this market sensitive to swings in both the broader base metals complex and the sulfur cost environment. Copper metal and sulphuric acid feedstock costs, agricultural fungicide and animal feed demand, and regional import competition are what drive prices in this market.
Copper Sulphate Price Forecast for 2026
The outlook for Copper Sulphate through H2 2026 stays broadly firm, tracking healthy demand from agricultural, mining, and water treatment sectors alongside elevated sulphuric acid feedstock costs. Seasonal fertilizer and crop protection application activity should continue supporting consumption, though import competition, particularly from Mexican supply into North America, remains a factor capable of periodically pressuring regional pricing.
The main upside risk is a further tightening of sulphuric acid feedstock availability or copper metal prices, which would push production costs higher across every region tracked in this report. The main downside risk is a resumption of the kind of import-driven oversupply seen in North America during Q1 2026, which could extend price concessions to other regions.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 2,980.00 - 3,350.00 | Healthy agricultural and industrial demand supports firmness |
| Belgium | 3,330.00 - 3,650.00 | Strengthening demand sustains the highest regional cost |
| South Africa | 3,100.00 - 3,420.00 | Steady mining and water treatment demand supports gains |
| United States | 2,920.00 - 3,220.00 | Import competition from Mexico moderates the pace of gains |
| China | 2,800.00 - 3,080.00 | Stable manufacturing output keeps this the most affordable market |

Steady demand from mining operations, which use copper sulphate in flotation processes, combined with water treatment applications, kept this market on a firm upward trajectory through the quarter.
Copper Sulphate Prices in the United States
US prices averaged USD 3,028.00/MT in Q2 2026, up 1.2% from USD 2,993.00/MT in Q1, as the market maintained an upward trajectory supported by healthy demand from agricultural, mining, and water treatment sectors.
Why did the price of Copper Sulphate change in Q2 2026 in the United States?
Seasonal fertilizer application activities increased the consumption of copper-based crop protection products, while stable industrial production sustained procurement from downstream consumers, supporting a modest recovery from the prior quarter's oversupply-driven softness.
Copper Sulphate Prices in China

Why did the price of Copper Sulphate change in Q2 2026 in China?
Increased utilization of copper sulphate in fungicide formulations and animal feed applications supported stronger purchasing activity, while manufacturing operations maintained stable output levels, contributing to regular demand from the chemical and electroplating industries.
For the Quarter Ending March 2026
Copper Sulphate Prices Q1 2026:
- Belgium: USD 3,387.00/MT
- South Africa: USD 3,080.00/MT
- United States: USD 2,993.00/MT

Copper Sulphate Prices in Belgium
Belgian prices rose 7.5% in Q1 2026 to USD 3,387.00/MT from USD 3,150.00/MT in Q4 2025, driven by higher feedstock pressure.
Why did the price of Copper Sulphate change in Q1 2026 in Belgium?
The Copper Sulphate Price Index rose driven by higher feedstock pressure, as spot prices weakened somewhat late in the quarter when competitive import offers and shipments to Antwerp pressured pricing, even as the broader quarterly trend remained firmly upward.
Copper Sulphate Prices in South Africa
South African prices rose 4.4% in Q1 2026 to USD 3,080.00/MT from USD 2,950.00/MT in Q4 2025, tracking the broader global tightening.
Why did the price of Copper Sulphate change in Q1 2026 in South Africa?
Rising sulphuric acid and copper feedstock costs, tied to the broader global cost environment, pushed South African offers higher even as demand from mining and industrial applications stayed steady.
Copper Sulphate Prices in the United States
US prices fell 5.0% in Q1 2026 to USD 2,993.00/MT from USD 3,150.00/MT in Q4 2025, as high import volumes from Mexico created oversupply that overwhelmed domestic demand.
Why did the price of Copper Sulphate change in Q1 2026 in the United States?
High import volumes from Mexico created oversupply in March, overwhelming domestic demand and forcing price concessions, while surging sulphur and sulphuric acid costs increased production expenses, but import competition prevented pass-through to end prices, and smooth port operations maintained steady arrivals and inventories, reducing urgency among buyers.
Copper Sulphate Prices in China
Chinese prices rose 3.6% in Q1 2026 to USD 2,850.00/MT from USD 2,750.00/MT in Q4 2025, as the resumption of plant operations post-Lunar New Year increased local supply even as sulphuric acid cost increases pushed production expenses higher.
Why did the price of Copper Sulphate change in Q1 2026 in China?
Resumption of plant operations post-Lunar New Year increased local supply, reducing immediate upward pressure on prices, while sharp sulphuric acid cost increases raised production expenses, but ample finished goods inventories limited pass-through to buyers.
Quarterly Copper Sulphate Price Trends
Global Copper Sulphate prices dipped modestly in Q2 2025 before climbing steadily through the following quarters, with regional divergence emerging sharply in Q1 2026 as North America corrected on Mexican import oversupply even as Belgium, South Africa, and China continued firming on feedstock cost pressure and healthy underlying demand.
