Refreshed 27 August 2026, this global Caustic Soda price report screens 27 validated producer-led and commercially relevant re-export markets using FOB or FCA planning indications only. Displayed bands currently span USD 240–860/MT or USD/DMT, depending on product form and market convention. The tables separate liquid caustic soda, flakes, pearls, micropearls and prills by hub, NaOH grade or concentration, packaging, Incoterm basis and unit. The current Iran dataset follows its dedicated 19 August 2026 snapshot and now includes 13 verified production, seaport, terminal and border-handover hubs. Slovakia is newly included after verification of material 2024 liquid-caustic exports and active 48% sodium-hydroxide production at Nováky. Current containerized export offers through 25 August 2026 are used where public FOB evidence is available; other rows remain basis-calibrated procurement planning bands cross-checked against current regional market direction. USD/MT and USD/DMT are not interchangeable. Firm pricing requires RFQ confirmation for quantity, loading window, documents, carrier acceptance, payment terms and destination.

Caustic Soda Export-Hub Price Map
Map labels are representative screening values in USD/MT or USD/DMT; use table rows for like-for-like comparisons.
Methodology and Commercial Scope
Hub selection
Hub coverage is rebuilt from the latest complete 2024 HS 281511 and HS 281512 export rankings, then filtered for active chlor-alkali production, verified commercial product availability and a practical FOB seaport or FCA plant/terminal handover. Slovakia is added because its 2024 liquid-caustic exports were material and Fortischem continues active sodium-hydroxide production at Nováky. Re-export hubs such as Jebel Ali and Mersin are retained only where current public FOB trade is visible.
Price construction
Price rows are rechecked against public information available through 27 August 2026. Current named-hub FOB offers are used where directly published; regional FOB/DMT assessments, producer price direction, latest China market indications and Q2–August market benchmarks are used to calibrate rows where executable public quotes are unavailable. Liquid rows remain in USD/DMT when the market convention is dry-metric-ton pricing; otherwise the row is shown in USD/MT of product.
Comparison rule
A firm RFQ must state product form, NaOH grade or concentration, quantity, packaging, destination, required documents, inspection requirements, shipment window and payment terms. Public planning ranges are not offers and should not be used as contractual prices without reconfirmation.

Price Interpretation and Usage Note
- All figures are procurement-planning indications refreshed for August 27, 2026; the newest directly published container FOB offers used in this edition are dated August 25, 2026.
- A price band can stay unchanged after review when newer evidence does not support a defensible move; unchanged does not mean unreviewed.
- For liquid caustic soda, verify whether the quoted unit is USD/MT of solution or USD/DMT of contained NaOH before comparing suppliers.
- Packed flakes, pearls, micropearls and prills normally price above liquid product because of concentration, evaporation, solidification, bagging, palletizing, dangerous-goods handling and container logistics.
- Single-container, food-grade, pharmaceutical-grade, low-chloride, neutral-brand, sanctioned-route or special-document transactions may fall outside the displayed mainstream range.
- Final price depends on exact grade, concentration, packaging, quantity, origin, loading slot, inspection, documents, payment terms, carrier acceptance and destination restrictions.
Caustic Soda Price FAQ
Are these Caustic Soda prices binding offers?
No. They are weekly public-market planning bands. A firm FOB or FCA offer requires confirmed stock, loading capability, quantity, packaging, documents, payment terms and shipment timing.
How are export hubs selected?
The latest complete 2024 solid and liquid sodium-hydroxide export data are screened first, then each candidate is checked for active production or current re-export trade and a practical FOB/FCA handover. Slovakia is added in this update after passing that test.
What is the difference between USD/MT and USD/DMT?
USD/MT prices the physical product weight. USD/DMT prices the contained dry NaOH. A 50% solution contains approximately 0.5 DMT of NaOH per physical metric ton, subject to the contractual concentration.
What information is required for an RFQ?
Send product form, NaOH grade or concentration, quantity, packaging, loading hub, destination, shipment window, required documents, inspection requirements and preferred payment terms.
Ready to Confirm the Current Caustic Soda Price?
Send the product form, NaOH grade or concentration, quantity, packaging, loading hub, destination and shipment window for a current FOB or FCA quotation review.
