China and India are the leading exporters of sodium chloroacetate, accounting for the majority of global shipments, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importing markets. Sodium chloroacetate prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from agrochemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Export volumes from China have increased modestly over the past two years, while Indian exports have plateaued, and U.S. imports have risen slightly—reflecting continued reliance on Asian suppliers despite regional procurement diversification efforts.
Chloroacetic Acid Sodium Commercial Market Intelligence Analysis (July 2026)
I. Recent Price Dynamics
| Date | Source | Price Range (RMB/ton) | Grade/Specification | Remarks |
|------------|-------------------------|-------------------|----------------|--------------------------|
| 2026-07-24 | China Chemical Network (Shengyishe) | Not specified | Benchmark Price | Includes adjustment coefficient K and premium/discount C |
| 2026-07-25 | China Chemical Network (Shengyishe) | Not specified | Benchmark Price | Same as above |
| 2026-07-27 | China Chemical Network (Shengyishe) | Not specified | Benchmark Price | Same as above |
| 2026-01-15 | Shandong Xima Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. | 3,900 | 99% Premium Grade | Delivery in Zibo City, Shandong Province |
| 2026-07-25 | Shandong Qiangsen Chemical Co., Ltd. | 4,000 | National Standard Top Grade | Delivery in Zibo City, Shandong Province |
Key Conclusions:
1. Mainstream quotations in the Shandong region remain stable at RMB 3,900–4,000 per ton, unchanged from the September 2025 level (RMB 3,900–4,000/ton), indicating short-term pricing resilience.
2. Although China Chemical Network’s benchmark price is not disclosed, historical data suggests the current market guidance price likely fluctuates around RMB 3,950 per ton.
II. Supply-Demand Landscape Analysis
1. Supply Side
- Capacity Concentration: China accounts for 30% of global capacity. Leading enterprises include Xima Supply Chain (150,000 tons/year), Xin Hongfeng (120,000 tons/year), and Hua Chen Supply Chain (100,000 tons/year); the CR5 (combined market share of top five firms) exceeds 60%, reflecting high industry concentration.
- Technological Barriers: Industry leaders employ DCS (Distributed Control System) automation and low-temperature crystallization processes, achieving product purity >99.5% and impurity content 30% export exposure; WTO regulatory developments warrant close monitoring.
V. Strategic Recommendations
- Procurement: Downstream users are advised to secure quarterly fixed-price contracts and maintain a 10% safety stock to mitigate supply volatility during peak season.
- Production: Leading enterprises should increase the proportion of pharmaceutical-grade products to capture premium margins through technological advantages; SMEs should focus on regional markets to avoid homogenous competition.
- Investment: Prioritize companies with integrated value chains—e.g., Hua Chen Supply Chain and Sinochem Blue Sky—whose improved ESG ratings may generate valuation premiums.
Sodium chloroacetate is a white to off-white crystalline solid, typically odorless and non-volatile, with a melting point around 150–155 °C (with decomposition). It is classified as an organic chloroacetate salt and functions primarily as a reactive chemical intermediate. Its principal industrial use is in the synthesis of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), glyphosate herbicides, and various pharmaceuticals and dyes. It serves as a key building block in agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and specialty polymers, particularly where controlled alkylation or carboxymethylation is required.
This chemical is included in Fine Chemicals. See more about what is Sodium chloroacetate and Sodium chloroacetate SDS information.
