China and India are the leading exporters of Thiourea dioxide, accounting for the majority of global shipments, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importers. Thiourea dioxide prices have remained relatively stable amid steady cross-border flows, with no major price volatility observed in recent trade records. Export volumes from China have grown modestly over the past two years, while Indian exports have plateaued, and U.S. imports have increased slightly—reflecting continued industrial demand in textile and pharmaceutical applications.

II. Market Analysis & Assessment
1. **Price Stability**:
- Hubei Qiqijiu Chemical’s quotation has remained consistently stable at RMB 29,000/ton, indicating a relatively rigid pricing strategy—possibly supported by balanced regional supply-demand dynamics or cost structure constraints.
- Jia’en Chemical (Shandong) maintains quotations of RMB 18,000/ton across Shandong and Jiangsu provinces; however, the unusually low quotation of RMB 13,500/ton in Zhejiang warrants verification regarding data accuracy or special trading conditions.
2. **Regional Price Differentials**:
- The quotation in Chengdu, Sichuan Province (RMB 23,000/ton) is significantly higher than mainstream quotations in Shandong and Jiangsu (RMB 18,000/ton), likely attributable to higher logistics costs, localized supply tightness, or product specification differences.
3. **Market Trend**:
- From January 2025 to July 2026, mainstream quotations in Shandong and Jiangsu rose modestly from RMB 17,500/ton to RMB 18,000/ton—a 2.86% increase—suggesting a mild upward trend overall.
- Hubei Qiqijiu Chemical’s unchanged quotation may reflect its customer mix or reliance on long-term fixed-price contracts.
III. Market Outlook
1. **Short-Term Forecast (1–3 months)**:
- Mainstream quotations in Shandong and Jiangsu are expected to remain near RMB 18,000/ton, with limited impact from seasonal demand fluctuations.
- Hubei Qiqijiu Chemical’s quotation is likely to stay stable; however, monitoring inventory levels and downstream procurement rhythms remains advisable.
2. **Medium-Term Forecast (6–12 months)**:
- Assuming no sharp fluctuations in raw material costs (e.g., thiourea, calcium cyanamide), TDO prices are projected to continue rising moderately, with an anticipated increase capped at approximately 5%.
- High-price regions such as Sichuan may experience downward price adjustments due to intensified regional competition or improved logistics efficiency, narrowing the gap with mainstream market prices.
3. **Long-Term Forecast (1–3 years)**:
- Stricter global environmental regulations are expected to sustain growth in demand for TDO—as a safer alternative to sodium hydrosulfite (insurance powder)—thereby expanding overall market scale.
- Technological advancements (e.g., optimization of continuous-process production) could reduce manufacturing costs, exerting downward pressure on prices; however, the environmental premium associated with TDO’s green attributes will partially offset such cost-driven price reductions.
- Rising demand for high-purity TDO in major consumption markets—including Asia and Europe—may lead to increased price differentiation between standard and premium-grade products.
Thiourea dioxide is a white to off-white crystalline solid with no significant odor and low volatility; it decomposes before melting, typically above 130 °C. It is classified as an organic sulfur compound and a reducing agent, structurally derived from thiourea. Industrially, it serves primarily as a mild, selective reducing agent in textile dyeing—especially for vat and sulfur dyes—and as a stabilizer or catalyst in polymerization processes. Its applications are concentrated in the textile, dye, and specialty chemical sectors, where it functions in controlled reduction reactions without damaging sensitive substrates or functional groups.
Convenient reagent for the reduction of ketones to secondary alcohols.Thiourea dioxide is an effective bleach when used alone or when used after hydrogen peroxide in a full bleaching process (Duffield, 1986; Cegarra et al, 1988). Bleaching with thiourea dioxide is not common practice but it is effective when used alone, and the process compares favorably with hydrogen peroxide bleaching. A formulation can include a commercial thiourea dioxide product, wetting agent and EDTA sequestering agent. Reductive bleaching is carried out at pH 7.0 at 70°C for 60 min (Duffield, 1986).
