Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) Prices in Brazil exhibited marked volatility throughout Q1 2025, culminating at 1,060 USD/MT in March—a 12% increase from January values. This significant price appreciation stemmed primarily from upstream cost pressures, as propylene—the essential feedstock for IPA synthesis—experienced substantial fluctuations in the petrochemical market. Production facilities reported manufacturing cost increases of approximately 18% during this period, directly transferring these expenses to finished product pricing. Domestic manufacturers implemented multiple price adjustments throughout the quarter as they navigated the unstable raw material marketplace.

Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) Prices in South Africa:

Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) Prices in South Africa demonstrated significant volatility throughout Q1 2025, reaching an unprecedented peak of 1,550 USD/MT in March. This substantial price elevation stemmed primarily from the nation's heavy dependence on imports for domestic IPA consumption. The South African rand experienced notable depreciation against major currencies during this period, declining approximately 8% against the US dollar. This currency instability directly impacted import economics, as international suppliers adjusted pricing accordingly. Local distributors subsequently transferred these increased procurement costs to end-users across the pharmaceutical and industrial sectors.
