The isopropanol market has recently shown a weak price trend.
In the second half of 2025, isopropanol production capacity will remain in an expansion cycle. Although the commissioning progress of some plants may be uncertain, overall, the supply of isopropanol is continuously increasing, putting downward pressure on market prices. In the second half of the year, with the arrival of the peak season for electronic product launches, demand for isopropanol in the semiconductor sector may show an upward trend. However, this increase may not be able to fully absorb the new supply, so market prices may still be suppressed.
Regarding raw materials, the main raw materials for isopropanol include acetone and propylene. In the second half of 2025, the prices of both acetone and propylene showed a fluctuating downward trend, negatively impacting the cost of isopropanol.
It is expected that the isopropanol market price will continue to fluctuate downward in the short term. On the supply side, the release of new production capacity will further increase market supply; on the demand side, although demand in the semiconductor sector has increased, the overall demand growth rate is still lower than the supply growth rate.
