Market Overview
Oxygen prices in Brazil, the highest-cost reporting region, eased 1.3% in Q2 2026 to USD 385.00/MT from USD 390.00/MT in Q1, continuing a gradual multi-quarter decline. US prices, by contrast, rose 4.1% to USD 255.00/MT, extending a sharp climb tied to robust demand from healthcare and the expanding semiconductor and electronics manufacturing sectors. European prices, tracked here via Germany, held essentially flat at USD 182.00/MT, reflecting the calm supply-demand equilibrium that has characterized this market throughout the period. Globally, the average rose from USD 247.34/MT in Q1 to USD 249.68/MT in Q2, a 0.9% gain. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 220.00-400.00/MT is expected, with regional demand divergence likely to persist.
Oxygen is a fundamental industrial gas produced through cryogenic fractional distillation of air, alongside nitrogen and argon as co-products. It serves essential applications in steelmaking and metal fabrication, healthcare and medical respiratory support, welding and cutting operations, wastewater treatment, and increasingly in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing processes. Regional pricing varies considerably by demand mix and infrastructure: North American prices have moved higher on robust healthcare and electronics sector demand alongside supply chain constraints in transportation and storage infrastructure, while European pricing has remained largely flat given a stable equilibrium between supply and demand fundamentals, and South American pricing has eased gradually. Energy costs for air separation units, regional healthcare and electronics sector demand, and steelmaking and metal fabrication consumption are what drive prices in this market.
Oxygen Price Forecast for 2026
The outlook for Oxygen through H2 2026 points to continued regional divergence. North American prices should stay firm, supported by robust demand from healthcare and the expanding semiconductor and electronics manufacturing sectors alongside ongoing supply chain constraints in transportation and storage infrastructure. European pricing is expected to remain broadly stable given the equilibrium between supply and demand fundamentals, while South American prices may continue their gradual easing trend.
The main upside risk is a further tightening of North American transportation and storage infrastructure combined with continued strong semiconductor and electronics demand, which could accelerate the pace of US gains beyond current expectations. The main downside risk is a broader softening of steelmaking and metal fabrication demand across major consuming regions, which would ease price pressure even in the currently firming North American market.

| United States | 230.00 - 280.00 | Healthcare and electronics demand drives continued gains |
| Germany | 175.00 - 190.00 | Stable supply-demand equilibrium keeps this market flat |
| China | 135.00 - 155.00 | Steady industrial demand keeps this the most affordable market |
