Asia
The boric acid market across Asia displayed divergent pricing trends during the fourth quarter of 2025. In China, prices followed a steady and consistent upward trajectory throughout the period, rising gradually from the quarter's opening and continuing to climb through its close. The prices were about 1110 USD/MT (Spot) in October and around 1146 USD/MT in December. Demand from glass manufacturing, ceramics, and agricultural applications remained supportive, while supply conditions stayed sufficiently tight to sustain the upward price direction. The quarter ended with prices at their highest point of the period, reflecting a firm and well-supported market environment. In Vietnam, the trajectory was markedly different. The prices were about 1150 USD/MT (CFR) in October and around 1127 USD/MT in December. Prices opened at elevated levels before declining steadily through the middle of the quarter, reaching their lowest point before staging a gradual recovery in the latter weeks. Import availability and moderate end-user consumption shaped this movement, with cautious restocking activity contributing to the partial price recovery toward the quarter's close.
North America
The North American boric acid market, represented by the United States, exhibited a broadly positive trajectory through the fourth quarter. The prices were about 748 USD/MT (FOB) in October and around 770 USD/MT in December. Prices remained largely stable and range-bound through the opening phase of the quarter before turning sharply higher as the period progressed.
The acceleration in pricing was sustained and consistent, with values climbing steadily through the latter half of the quarter to close at the highest levels seen during the period. Demand from fiberglass insulation, flame retardant formulations, and specialty chemical applications provided a firm consumption base, while disciplined supply management supported the upward price direction. The market closed the quarter with a meaningful quarter-on-quarter gain.
South America
Brazil's boric acid market followed a pattern broadly similar to Vietnam during the fourth quarter. The prices were about 935 USD/MT (CIF) in October and around 913 USD/MT in December. Prices opened the period at their highest point before declining steadily through the middle of the quarter, reaching a trough in the early part of the second half. A gradual recovery followed, with prices edging progressively higher through the remainder of the period. Despite the recovery, the market closed broadly in line with where it began, reflecting a quarter characterised by correction and partial stabilisation rather than a clear directional trend.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, boric acid prices are expected to maintain a firm tone in the near term, supported by steady downstream demand from glass, ceramics, and fiberglass sectors across key consuming regions.
