Furazolidone Price Trend and Forecast 2026-2027

Furazolidone prices in Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 6.1% in H1 2026, recovering from USD 63.5/KG in Q1 to USD 67.4/KG by Q2 as Middle East nitrofurfural synthesis intermediate supply disruptions and spring veterinary and aquaculture antiprotozoal procurement reversed the brief Q1 synthesis cost softening. Globally, the average rose from USD 42.82/KG in Q1 to USD 45.39/KG in Q2, a 6.0% gain. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 46.00-51.00/KG is expected, with continued firming on feedstock disruptions and growing aquaculture and veterinary antiprotozoal sector demand.

Furazolidone is a broad-spectrum nitrofuran antibiotic and antiprotozoal produced through a condensation reaction between 5-nitrofurfural and 3-amino-2-oxazolidinone, with 5-nitrofurfural derived from furfural through a controlled nitration process. Furfural itself is produced from the acid hydrolysis and steam stripping of pentose-rich agricultural lignocellulosic waste such as oat husks, corn cobs, and sugarcane bagasse, with China accounting for the dominant share of global furfural and subsequently furazolidone production. The largest commercial pull comes from veterinary pharmaceutical applications across several international markets, where furazolidone has been used for the treatment of bacterial enteritis, salmonellosis, and protozoal infections including histomoniasis and coccidiosis in poultry, swine, and companion animals. Aquaculture pharmaceutical demand represents a significant and growing segment where furazolidone has been used for bacterial and parasitic infection control in freshwater and marine aquaculture species across several Asian markets. Additional demand comes from human pharmaceutical applications for the treatment of traveller’s diarrhoea, giardiasis, and cholera in markets where regulatory approval remains active. Furfural and 5-nitrofurfural synthesis intermediate costs, veterinary and aquaculture sector demand, and regional production capacity all feed into the price.

Furazolidone Price Forecast for 2026

The balance of supply and demand for furazolidone through H2 2026 leans moderately firm. Furfural and 5-nitrofurfural synthesis intermediate costs firmed from Middle East agricultural residue and chemical supply disruptions. Aquaculture and veterinary antiprotozoal demand is growing in markets where regulatory framework supports continued use.

The main upside risk is a sustained furfural and 5-nitrofurfural cost increase alongside accelerating aquaculture production growth and veterinary antiprotozoal demand in Asia and Africa. The main downside risk is continued regulatory restriction expansion across key consuming markets and Chinese production surplus that limits price recovery.
