Do you expect prices for household products to rise due to higher industrial material costs?
Perstorp will increase prices for Pentaerythritol, Neopentyl Glycol, and Trimethylolpropane effective October 1, 2026. This global pricing adjustment spans the EMEA, Americas, and APAC regions.
Why it matters
The company cited rising raw material and energy costs tied to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East as the driver for these increases. Operators relying on these chemicals should review supply contracts to determine how these hikes impact their cost of goods sold.
Perstorp is implementing price increases of EUR 150/MT in EMEA, 7 cents per pound in the Americas, and USD 160/MT in APAC. These adjustments reflect current energy and raw material volatility.
The players
Perstorp
A global specialty chemicals manufacturer and supplier of sustainable solutions for the resin and coating industries.
The details
The price hikes cover Pentaerythritol, Neopentyl Glycol, and Trimethylolpropane, impacting chemical sourcing costs globally. The adjustments take effect on October 1, 2026, though implementation will depend on the specific terms governing existing customer supply contracts.
Timeline
October 1, 2026, marks the effective date for the new pricing structure.
Market Landscape
This move follows a documented industry trend where chemical producers pass through rising energy costs associated with Middle East conflict. It marks a continuation of the volatility currently affecting input costs for the broader global manufacturing supply chain.
Operators should immediately assess their procurement agreements to see if the October 1 effective date applies to their current contract terms. Reviewing chemical inventory levels before the increase could help mitigate the impact on immediate margins.
The takeaway
Rising energy costs continue to force global suppliers to pass on price increases to downstream manufacturers. Operators should review their existing supply contracts for price-adjustment clauses to determine their exposure to this specific October 1 hike.
