Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Price Trend and Forecast 2026-2027

Market Overview

Germany, the dearest of the tracked markets, set the tone in the first half of 2026. Prices there climbed 4.0%, from USD 2.25/KG in Q1 to USD 2.34/KG in Q2, as pool and municipal disinfection buying came forward early and chlor-alkali and cyanuric acid costs stayed firm. What stands out is the shape of the move. Instead of the soft first quarter that fertiliser-linked chemicals usually show, the disinfectant kept grinding higher, extending the run it began in the back half of 2025. The global average told the same story on a smaller scale, USD 1.612/KG in Q1 to USD 1.680/KG in Q2, roughly 4.2%. Our read for the rest of the year puts the global figure in a USD 1.60-1.75/KG band, propped up by summer sanitation demand and steady caustic soda and chlorine costs.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (C3N3O3Cl2Na) goes by SDIC or NaDCC on most spec sheets. It is a chlorine-release disinfectant, made by reacting cyanuric acid with chlorine and caustic soda, and it ships as a white granular powder or as pressed tablets. Drop it in water and it frees hypochlorous acid, which does the actual sanitising. Water treatment is where most of it ends up. Pools and spas take the biggest slice, municipal and drinking-water disinfection the next, both drawn to the tablets for stable chlorine storage and a slow, controlled release. The rest scatters across hospital and household surface cleaners, dairy and food-plant sanitation, and a little detergent bleaching. Demand has a season. Pool use climbs with northern-hemisphere heat, so buying builds through spring and holds over summer. On the cost side, three things matter: cyanuric acid and chlorine input prices, chlor-alkali economics, and how hard municipalities and pool suppliers are buying.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Price Forecast for 2026

Through the rest of 2026 the balance looks moderately tight. Pool-season and municipal buying has not let up, and the Chinese producers who supply most of the world have held their run rates in check rather than flooding the market. Add firmer cyanuric acid and chlorine costs, and the floor under prices sits higher than it did a year ago.

Two things could break the pattern. If chlor-alkali or cyanuric acid costs spike, production economics push the market above our band. If summer runs cool or municipal tenders thin out, pool-season buying softens and prices slip below it.

For the Quarter Ending June 2026

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices Q2 2026:

• United States: USD 2.02/KG
• China: USD 1.58/KG
• Germany: USD 2.34/KG
• India: USD 1.88/KG

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices in the United States

The US closed Q2 at USD 2.02/KG, 4.1% above the USD 1.94/KG of Q1. Pool season did the heavy lifting, and firmer chlorine and cyanuric acid costs kept sellers confident into spring.

Why did the price of Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate change in Q2 2026 in the United States?

Restocking ahead of summer was the main pull. Pool and spa operators refilled, chlorine feedstock held dear, and municipal tenders kept a steady bid under the market.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices in China

China moved a touch less, a 3.9% step from USD 1.52/KG to USD 1.58/KG. Export orders came back and cyanuric acid firmed, yet the country's sheer capacity kept it the cheapest source on the board.

Why did the price of Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate change in Q2 2026 in China?

Overseas buyers returned for pool-season tablets. Feedstock costs nudged up. Even so, ample plants at home meant prices had little room to run, and China stayed the low-cost anchor.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices in Germany

Germany stayed the priciest market by some margin. Q2 printed USD 2.34/KG, 4.0% over Q1's USD 2.25/KG, with energy-heavy chlor-alkali costs and firm European pool and municipal demand doing the work.

Why did the price of Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate change in Q2 2026 in Germany?

European pools and municipal systems kept buying through the quarter. Energy-linked chlorine and caustic costs are the reason the floor sits so high here.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices in India

India rose 3.9%, from USD 1.81/KG to USD 1.88/KG. Growing municipal sanitation work and dearer imported cyanuric acid pushed the market up as spring wore on.

Why did the price of Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate change in Q2 2026 in India?

Municipal and household disinfection demand strengthened first. Imported cyanuric acid and chlorine costs then firmed the base, and pool and hospitality buying filled in the rest.

For the Quarter Ending March 2026

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices Q1 2026:

• United States: USD 1.94/KG
• China: USD 1.52/KG
• Germany: USD 2.25/KG
• India: USD 1.81/KG

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices in the United States

The US ran at USD 1.94/KG in Q1, about 0.5% up on Q4 2025. Early pool restocking nudged demand before the spring peak even arrived.

Why did the price of Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate change in Q1 2026 in the United States?

Operators began topping up early. Chlorine and cyanuric acid costs sat flat. That was enough to edge prices higher ahead of the summer pull.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices in China

China averaged USD 1.52/KG, up roughly 0.7% from Q4. Plants came back after the holidays and early export enquiries for the northern-hemisphere season started to trickle in.

Why did the price of Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate change in Q1 2026 in China?

The post-holiday restart met a first wave of export interest. Feedstock costs barely moved. Plentiful capacity kept the rise modest.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices in Germany

Germany held near the top at USD 2.25/KG, some 0.4% above Q4. European buyers began pre-season stocking while energy-linked costs kept the base elevated.

Why did the price of Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate change in Q1 2026 in Germany?

Pre-season pool and municipal stocking firmed demand a little. High energy and chlor-alkali costs did the rest, keeping Germany the dearest market even in a quiet quarter.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices in India

India sat at USD 1.81/KG, about 0.6% higher than Q4. Steady municipal demand and a few early pool enquiries kept the tone firm into the new year.

Why did the price of Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate change in Q1 2026 in India?

Sanitation demand never really dipped. Early pool enquiries added a bit, imported feedstock costs held, and the market drifted up ahead of summer.

Quarterly Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Price Trends

There was no first-quarter air pocket here, the kind fertiliser chemicals tend to hit. SDIC simply climbed. From USD 1.575/KG in Q2 2025 the average stepped to USD 1.590/KG in Q3 and USD 1.606/KG in Q4, inched to USD 1.612/KG in Q1 2026, then jumped to USD 1.680/KG as pool season landed in Q2. That is about 6.7% across the window. Chlor-alkali and cyanuric acid costs set the base; the northern-hemisphere pool cycle set the timing.

What was Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Price in 2025?

2025 was a slow, steady firming rather than a rally. The global average started near USD 1.560/KG in Q1 and finished around USD 1.606/KG in Q4, a gain of roughly 2.9%. Reliable water-treatment demand and firm cyanuric acid and chlorine costs were enough to keep it inching up all year.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices in the United States in 2025

The US added about 2.7% over 2025, from USD 1.88/KG in Q1 to USD 1.93/KG by Q4. Dependable pool-season and municipal demand, plus firm chlorine costs, carried it.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices in China in 2025

China ran from USD 1.47/KG to USD 1.51/KG, also near 2.7%. Steady exports and dearer cyanuric acid helped, though the country's capacity kept the climb gentle.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices in Germany in 2025

Germany moved USD 2.18/KG to USD 2.24/KG, about 2.8%. Energy-linked chlor-alkali costs and solid European water-treatment demand kept it on the rise.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Prices in India in 2025

India logged the year's largest regional gain, roughly 2.9%, from USD 1.75/KG to USD 1.80/KG. Wider municipal sanitation programmes and firm imported feedstock costs did the pushing.
