Latest Vanadium Price Overview by Region
Europe: Ferrovanadium 70–80%
| Region | Product | Price Range | Unit | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Europe | Ferrovanadium 70–80% | 23.40–24.01 | USD/kg V | Jan 7, 2026 |
European prices showed a slight downward adjustment compared with the previous period, reflecting softer short-term alloy demand.
United States: Ferrovanadium 70–80%
| Region | Product | Price Range | Unit | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USA | Ferrovanadium 70–80% | 13.30–14.01 | USD/lb | Jan 7, 2026 |
U.S. prices remained stable, indicating balanced supply and demand conditions.
China: Domestic Ferrovanadium FeV50
| Market | Product | Mainstream Transaction Price | Unit | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| China (Domestic) | Ferrovanadium FeV50 | 8.7–8.9 | 10,000 RMB/ton (incl. VAT) | Jan 9, 2026 |
Understanding Specification and Unit Differences
Direct comparison of vanadium prices across regions requires careful consideration of product grades and pricing units.
- Europe and the USA primarily trade ferrovanadium 70–80%, quoting prices per unit of contained vanadium.
- China's domestic market commonly trades FeV50, with prices quoted per metric ton of alloy, including VAT.
These differences mean that headline prices are not directly interchangeable without conversion. However, they still provide valuable insight into relative market strength and regional demand trends.
Regional Market Analysis
Europe: Cost Pressure and Import Dependence
European ferrovanadium prices tend to remain at higher absolute levels due to:
- Strong reliance on imported alloy materials
- Higher energy, labor, and environmental compliance costs
- Demand focused on high-performance and specialty steels
The recent price decline suggests cautious purchasing behavior among European steel producers amid uncertain downstream demand.
United States: Stable Consumption Pattern
The U.S. ferrovanadium market shows comparatively stable pricing. This reflects:
- Steady demand from construction, automotive, and infrastructure steel sectors
- Established trading conventions using USD per pound
- Balanced inventory levels without major supply disruptions
As long as domestic steel output remains stable, U.S. prices are likely to continue fluctuating within a narrow range.
China: Domestic Demand–Driven Pricing
China's ferrovanadium pricing is heavily influenced by domestic steel production activity rather than export dynamics. The FeV50 price range of 8.7–8.9 (10,000 RMB/ton) on January 9, 2026 indicates a relatively stable market.
Domestic transactions reflect real-time demand from steel mills producing rebar, structural steel, and other vanadium-bearing products. VAT-inclusive pricing also highlights the difference between domestic and export market structures.
China often serves as a supply-side reference point for global vanadium markets, even though domestic prices are not directly quoted in international trade.
Why International Vanadium Prices Differ
Key factors behind regional price differences include:
- Product grade and vanadium content
- Pricing units and tax treatment
- Domestic vs. export market orientation
- Steel industry demand structure
- Energy and regulatory costs
Understanding these factors is essential for buyers comparing vanadium prices across regions.

FAQ
Q1: Why is China's ferrovanadium priced in RMB per ton?
Because China's domestic market trades alloy products directly with VAT included, using RMB-based settlement.
Q2: Can FeV50 prices be directly compared with FeV70–80?
Not directly. Differences in vanadium content and pricing units require conversion for accurate comparison.
Q3: Which region currently has the most stable prices?
As of early January 2026, the U.S. market shows the most stable pricing, while Europe shows mild downward pressure.
