SLES Price Trend in India Q2 2026 | Forecast, Chart, Prices & Index

The SLES Price Trend in India changed sharply during Q2 2026, with prices moving higher because of rising crude oil costs, expensive freight, higher transportation expenses, and uncertainty across international supply routes. Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES), particularly the 70% active matter grade, is widely used in personal care products, detergents, household cleaners, and industrial cleaning applications. 

Because of this broad usage, even a change in raw material or transportation costs can quickly influence the market. During the second quarter of 2026, Indian SLES prices increased by around 20% before seeing a 4% correction in June.
