Iofina plc has reported a marked increase in output in the third quarter of 2025. Iofina Resources produced 215.8 metric tonnes of crystalline iodide across its eight IOsorb® facilities in Central and Northwest Oklahoma, up 32% from 163.9 tonnes in the same period last year. September production alone reached 75 tonnes, following the commissioning of IO#11 in July.
The company anticipates that consistent water volumes to its plants will support second-half production of between 400 and 440 tonnes.
Iodine prices and demand remain robust. The average realised spot price exceeded $70 per kilogram, trending toward the mid-$70s, and is expected to hold through year-end. Global demand for crystalline iodine is projected to approach 40,000 tonnes in 2025, underscoring the market’s strength.
Meanwhile, negotiations with a partner for IO#12 have entered final stages. Iofina expects to formalise the agreement shortly and commence foundational work on the new plant before the end of the year.
The update underscores Iofina’s ongoing operational expansion and its positioning to capitalise on sustained global demand for iodine.
President and CEO, Dr. Tom Becker, lauded the group’s record production, adding:
“”The Company continues to execute its growth strategy as illustrated by the record month of September and Q3 2025 production increasing by 32% year on year. Importantly, production has been steady across all our plants, putting us on track for a crystalline iodine production range of 400-440 MT for the second half of the year, and ultimately, further full-year growth.
“With production at IO#11 commencing in July, the Company has met its target of building one new plant each year over the past three years. With negotiations for IO#12 now in the later stages, we expect to continue the delivery of a new plant for the fourth year running.
“With iodine prices remaining high and demand for Iofina’s products only getting stronger, the Board is excited by the current outlook for the rest of the year and into 2026.””
