In Europe, the highest-cost reporting region, sodium percarbonate prices extended a firm climb through H1 2026, building on a recovery that began in the final quarter of 2025. The Europe average rose from USD 830/MT in Q1 2026 to USD 860/MT in Q2, a gain of about 3.6%. Globally, the average rose from USD 747.75/MT in Q1 2026 to USD 772/MT in Q2, a gain of about 3.2%, as rising energy costs and tightened Chinese export inventories pushed pricing higher across every tracked market. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 760-800/MT is expected, with elevated energy costs and steady household and institutional cleaning demand keeping the recovery on track.
Sodium percarbonate is produced by reacting sodium carbonate with hydrogen peroxide, yielding a stable, solid adduct that releases active oxygen bleach when dissolved in water. Laundry and dishwasher detergent formulation accounts for the largest share of global demand, with oxygen-based household and institutional cleaning products, and select agricultural and industrial oxidising applications making up most of the remaining major uses. Sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide feedstock costs, energy costs tied to production, Chinese export availability and inventory levels, and household and institutional cleaning demand are the drivers that move price most consistently.
The supply-demand balance for sodium percarbonate through the remainder of 2026 leans toward continued firming across every tracked market. Elevated energy costs tied to broader crude oil and coal-linked production cost increases, tightened Chinese export inventories, and steady household and institutional cleaning demand keep the market on an upward path, while European producers continue to face the highest feedstock cost base given elevated ammonia-linked soda ash costs.
The primary upside risk is a further tightening of Chinese export inventories combined with sustained higher energy costs, which would push prices above the forecast range. The primary downside risk is a rebuild of Chinese export inventories combined with softer household cleaning-sector demand, which would pull prices back below the forecast.
