Arsenic Global Market Report 2026

Arsenic is an element and a naturally occurring mineral with widespread distribution. It falls under the category of metalloids, displaying properties of both metals and non-metals. Arsenic serves various purposes such as an alloying agent and is involved in the manufacturing of glass, pigments, textiles, paper, metal adhesives, wood preservatives, and ammunition.

The main classifications of arsenic include organic arsenic, inorganic arsenic, and arsine gas. Organic arsenic pertains to substances with covalently bonded arsenic atoms, commonly used in the creation of fungicides, weed killers, and insecticides. Arsenic is available in various purities, including high-purity arsenic (5n5), 0.99 (6n), 0.985 (7n), and others. These forms find applications in diverse sectors such as agricultural timber and poles, building and fencing, utility poles, highways, and more.

Tariffs are influencing the arsenic market by increasing costs of imported high-purity arsenic compounds, processing chemicals, containment systems, and analytical equipment. Electronics, glass, and chemical industries in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported refined arsenic, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on export-grade materials. These tariffs are increasing compliance and procurement costs. At the same time, they are encouraging localized refining, regional supply chain diversification, and investment in domestic high-purity arsenic production.
