Global glycerine markets mixed; India sees sharp price rise
Glycerine prices in India rose 44.4 per cent over 13 months, hitting ₹102.5/kg (~$1.23/kg) in June 2025, driven by tight supply and strong pharma, personal care, and industrial demand. US prices stayed steady amid policy uncertainty. SE Asia prices are ~$576/MT, Europe ~$610/MT due to biodiesel cuts. LDC opened a 55,000 MT/yr USP-grade glycerine plant in Indonesia to meet rising demand.
