Glutaraldehyde Prices: Market Analysis, Trend, News, Graph and Demand
North America
Glutaraldehyde prices in North America followed a mixed trajectory. The quarter began with a notable price increase, driven by strong domestic and international demand, particularly from the healthcare and industrial disinfection sectors. Contributing factors included rising freight costs and broader inflationary pressures.
By November, the market shifted bearish, with prices declining due to weakening demand despite stable supply. In response, manufacturers adjusted prices downward to remain competitive amid rising logistical costs.
However, December saw a rebound, with prices climbing again due to tightening supply and continued demand from the healthcare sector. Challenges such as reduced domestic production, lower import volumes, and increased feedstock costs contributed to the upward trend. The U.S. market recorded a 2.19% price increase, reaching USD 1,870/MT FOB Houston. The healthcare sector’s continued growth, supported by the addition of 46,000 new jobs in December (per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), further bolstered demand for Glutaraldehyde.

Asia-Pacific (APAC)
Glutaraldehyde prices in the APAC region showed a mixed trend in Q4 2024. Early in the quarter, prices rose sharply on the back of strong seasonal demand and favorable production conditions. High consumption from medical sterilization and steady supply supported this upward momentum.
By mid-quarter, the market stabilized. Balanced supply-demand dynamics, moderate domestic consumption, and softened international demand led to steady pricing, with sufficient inventories maintaining equilibrium.
Toward the end of the quarter, prices edged downward as manufacturers focused on year-end inventory management. Weakening global demand and variable freight costs added to the downward pressure. By quarter's end, Glutaraldehyde 50% prices in China had dipped by 0.93%, settling at USD 1,465/MT FOB Shandong.
Europe
The European Glutaraldehyde market also experienced a fluctuating trend. The quarter began with an upward movement in prices, spurred by strong demand from the healthcare, water treatment, and industrial disinfection sectors. Seasonal buying and logistical constraints further supported the increase.
Mid-quarter, market activity leveled off as demand slightly weakened, and consistent supply helped stabilize prices. Toward the end of the quarter, a modest decline set in, influenced by reduced consumption and deliberate destocking by manufacturers. Players across the supply chain adjusted pricing strategies in response to shifting demand and ongoing logistical challenges.
Overall, the European market reflected a complex balance of demand shifts, inventory strategies, and external economic pressures.
