According to ChemAnalyst , The global Nickel Sulfate Prices experienced mixed regional movements during the second quarter of 2026, reflecting differences in downstream demand, inventory levels, raw-material costs, and regional supply conditions. Nickel sulfate remains a strategically important intermediate for the battery, electroplating, specialty chemicals, and stainless-steel industries, with its pricing closely linked to nickel feedstock economics and broader industrial activity. During Q2 2026, the market displayed a divergence between Asia-Pacific (APAC), North America, and Europe. In China, nickel sulfate prices declined quarter-over-quarter as weak consumer demand and elevated inventories placed pressure on producers and traders. North American prices also moved lower amid inventory accumulation and increased flows of Asian intermediates.

According to ChemAnalyst , The Nickel Sulfate Prices displayed contrasting regional performance during the first quarter of 2026. While prices declined across North America and Europe due to weakening electric vehicle (EV) demand and oversupply concerns, the Asia-Pacific region, particularly China, experienced price gains driven by higher feedstock costs and expanding battery manufacturing activity. As nickel sulfate remains one of the most critical raw materials for lithium-ion battery cathodes, its pricing continued to reflect changes in EV production, battery demand, feedstock availability, and macroeconomic conditions. The quarter ending March 2026 highlighted the growing influence of regional supply-demand imbalances on the global nickel sulfate market. Battery manufacturers adjusted procurement strategies in response to changing EV sales trends, while sulfuric acid costs, nickel intermediate availability, and industrial production significantly shaped market pricing.
