Perchloroethylene Pricing, Demand and Supply Overview
Tetrachloroethylene, also known as perchloroethylene or PCE, is a chlorinated solvent produced from ethylene or chlorine feedstock through chlorination, used extensively as a dry-cleaning solvent, metal degreasing agent, and HFC/HFO refrigerant feedstock. Chlorine input costs, and refrigerant and solvent application demand all feed into the price.
Global tetrachloroethylene prices in Q1 2026 stood at USD 1.728 per KG in North America, the highest among tracked markets, USD 1.467 per KG in Africa, USD 1.283 per KG in Europe, and USD 0.602 per KG in Northeast Asia, the most competitively priced tracked market. North America held the highest tracked price on elevated chlorine input costs and REACH-adjacent compliance considerations, while Northeast Asia benefited from ample regional production capacity. Steady HFC/HFO refrigerant feedstock and solvent application demand continued to underpin consumption across all tracked regions.
What is Tetrachloroethylene (Perchloroethylene) Price in August 2026?
Tetrachloroethylene prices held close to Q1 2026 levels through August 2026, tracking regional chlorine input cost differentials, as steady refrigerant feedstock and solvent application demand continued to support the market across all tracked regions.
- North America: North American tetrachloroethylene prices held near USD 1.64 to USD 1.81 per KG, close to the USD 1.728 per KG recorded in Q1 2026 and the highest among tracked markets, as elevated chlorine input costs continued to sustain the regional premium.
- Europe: European tetrachloroethylene prices held near USD 1.22 to USD 1.35 per KG, close to the USD 1.283 per KG recorded in Q1 2026, as REACH compliance requirements continued to support the region's pricing.
- APAC (Northeast Asia): Northeast Asian tetrachloroethylene prices held near USD 0.57 to USD 0.63 per KG, the most competitively priced tracked market, close to the USD 0.602 per KG recorded in Q1 2026, as ample regional production capacity continued to anchor pricing.
Tetrachloroethylene (Perchloroethylene) Price Forecast for 2026
The rest of the year 2026 looks firm in the West and soft in Asia. Tight regulated supply and the firm fluorochemical demand support from the North American and European prices, with the forecast bands above the current levels, while the Chinese oversupply keeps the Asian market sliding. A supply outage or the regulatory tightening would lift the Western prices further. More Chinese capacity or weak solvent demand would deepen the Asian decline.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/KG) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 1.208 - 1.431 | Firming; Western tightness offsets a sliding Asian market |
| North America | 1.731 - 2.069 | Highest; tight supply and firm demand drive a sharp recovery |
| Africa | 1.234 - 1.474 | Firm; import-linked, steady through the year |
| Europe | 1.288 - 1.511 | Rising; regulatory tightness and firm demand lift prices |
| Northeast Asia | 0.578 - 0.670 | Lowest; oversupply and regulation drive a steady decline |
