Vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅) is a key vanadium raw material used across several industrial supply chains, and it is also widely referenced as a benchmark for vanadium value. Buyers often track V₂O₅ assessments because they provide a practical signal for vanadium cost trends and contract negotiations. When you see a quote expressed as USD per lb of vanadium, the market is pricing the contained vanadium value, not simply pricing the gross weight of vanadium pentoxide powder. This is important for procurement teams because it helps standardize comparisons across different vanadium products.
According to the latest market assessment you provided, V₂O₅ pricing is currently stable.
Latest Vanadium Pentoxide Price (98% V₂O₅)
Unit: USD per lb of Vanadium (contained value)
- Product: Vanadium Pentoxide
- Specification: 98% V₂O₅
- Price range: USD 5.80–5.99 / lb of Vanadium
- Change: -- (stable)
This "no change" reading indicates a steady market tone. In stable periods, negotiations tend to focus less on headline price movement and more on execution details such as volume, quality documentation, delivery terms, and payment structure.
What Does "USD per lb of Vanadium" Mean?
Many buyers assume the quote is per pound of V₂O₅ product, but the description here is explicitly per lb of vanadium. That means the price is based on the amount of vanadium contained in the material.
A simple way to use this correctly in purchasing
- The market price sets the value of vanadium units (contained V).
- Your contract then translates that contained value into a product price based on the agreed assay and commercial terms.
If you are negotiating product price, you'll typically confirm:
- assay basis (e.g., 98% V₂O₅)
- moisture and impurities
- packaging
- shipment terms (FOB/CFR/CIF or delivered)
- payment and inspection requirements
Because your quote is already standardized to vanadium units, it's easier to compare against other vanadium products that might be quoted in different formats.
Why the Price Can Vary Within USD 5.80–5.99 (Even When "Stable")
Even in a stable market, firm offers can land at different points in the range. Common drivers include:
- Order volume and repeat purchasing
Larger volumes or scheduled repeat demand often support smoother execution and better commercial terms.
- Quality and documentation requirements
If you require stricter impurity limits, specific COA formats, or third-party inspection, the executable level can move.
- Delivery terms and logistics
Different shipment terms (FOB vs CFR/CIF vs delivered) can shift the final number once freight and insurance are included.
- Payment terms
Acceptance, LC terms, and settlement structure can influence commercial pricing even when the market assessment is unchanged.
Buyer Tips: How to Get a Fast, Firm Quotation
To receive a firm, executable offer, buyers should send a complete inquiry including:
- product: vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅)
- specification: 98% V₂O₅ (confirm assay basis)
- quantity and purchasing frequency (spot vs monthly/quarterly)
- destination and shipment terms
- packing requirements
- inspection/document needs (COA, third-party, labeling)
- payment terms
Clear requirements reduce re-quotation cycles and speed up confirmation.
FAQ (Vanadium Pentoxide Pricing)
Q1: What is the current price of vanadium pentoxide (98% V₂O₅)?
A: USD 5.80–5.99 per lb of vanadium, unchanged in the latest update.
