Market Overview
Germany remained the priciest sodium lauryl sulfate market tracked here through the first half of the year 2026 (H1 2026), with Q2 closing at a value of USD 1558/MT against Q1's USD 1533/MT, up 1.6%. Steady personal-care demand kept a floor under the market, and the firmer lauryl alcohol feedstock costs added their own pull. The global average moved from USD 1375/MT to a value of USD 1398/MT, a similar gain of just a 1.7% percent. For the second half of 2026 (H2 2026), a range of an amount of USD 1375 to 1495/MT looks likely worldwide, supported by dependable personal-care demand.
Sodium lauryl sulfate is made by sulfating the lauryl alcohol, drawn from palm kernel or coconut oil, with sulfur trioxide, then neutralizing the resulting acid with sodium hydroxide. Toothpaste and oral care formulations pull the largest share of the demand, the surfactant valued for the foaming action it lends to cleansing products. Shampoo and other personal-care cleansers, along with household and industrial cleaning formulations, round out the remainder. Three things move the price: the lauryl alcohol feedstock costs, tied to palm kernel and coconut oil markets, the personal-care sector demand, and how much capacity the regional producers are running.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate Price Forecast for 2026
The second half of 2026 (H2 2026) opened firm across every market tracked here. Germany and the United States both saw the steady personal-care demand support firmer pricing. India's growing personal-care manufacturing sector kept the demand building, and China's large production base kept it the most affordable of the four, even as the domestic demand firmed alongside everyone else.
A couple of factors bear watching. A lauryl alcohol feedstock cost spike, tied to palm kernel or coconut oil markets, could actually push the prices past the top of the range. A slowdown in personal-care sector demand could pull the market below the floor instead.

| Global Average | 1375 - 1495 | Personal-care demand and firm feedstock costs support |
| China | 1215 - 1315 | Large production base keeps China most affordable |
| United States | 1475 - 1600 | Steady personal-care and household demand |
| Germany | 1540 - 1665 | Established personal-care demand commands premium |
| India | 1350 - 1465 | Growing personal-care manufacturing demand |
