Desiccant: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.24 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.01 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.24 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.12 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.05 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.04 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.03 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.01 |
What moves the price
For desiccant, the drivers are absorption capacity, unit size, food-grade certification — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For mid-range pharma/supplement desiccants, price is driven mainly by packet size/gram fill, barrier material, and whether the product is food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade; custom printing and compliance testing add cost. Realistic supplier routes are US wholesale distributors (for stocked clay/silica packets) and factory-direct import channels for very large runs; imported landed-equivalent pricing can be substantially lower than US-stocked pricing at 100k+ units.
