Alkyl Amine (DMA) prices moved lower in the Indian market through mid-May, primarily driven by an oversupplied methylamines landscape and subdued demand from the market participants. In addition, erratic feedstock trends—particularly in methanol and ammonia—and transportation bottlenecks have weighed on supplier pricing strategies, prompting a downward revision in quotes. Conversely, in China, Alkyl Amine (DMA) prices remained largely stable during the same period. Well-managed inventories and steady feedstock supply contributed to maintaining a balanced market environment, shielding prices from volatility.

Alkyl Amine (DMA) prices remained subdued in mid-May in India, reflecting broader volatility within the amines industry. As per inputs from Alkyl Amine (the major manufacturer) sources, the ethyl and methylamine chains continue to grapple with market imbalances, with the methylamine segment in particular exerting pressure on Alkyl Amine (DMA) pricing. Although India is witnessing a glut of methylamines and diminished demand from the market participants, these factors have not led to a steep drop in Alkyl Amine (DMA) prices.

The Alkyl Amine (DMA) market in India has been having a tough time lately. Supply is running ahead of demand, which has been pulling prices down. With inventories already well-stocked and uncertainty hanging over the broader amines sector, it’s becoming harder for suppliers and buyers alike to predict what’s next. Adding to the challenge are ongoing supply chain hiccups and fluctuating feedstock costs, which continue to create instability in the market.

Alkyl Amine (DMA) prices in China remained steady through mid-May 2025, with suppliers opting not to make any changes. There wasn’t much pressure on the cost side—production costs held firm, helped by the restart of key ammonia plants that ensured a consistent flow of feedstocks. Methanol prices rose slightly, but not enough to move the needle on overall costs. With downstream demand still on the cautious side, suppliers had little reason to make any pricing changes. Even though there are ongoing worries about oversupply in the wider methylamines market, inventory levels remained under control and production margins held up. Given that, most producers saw no need to adjust Alkyl Amine (DMA) prices, keeping them steady for now.

As per the ChemAnalyst’s anticipation the price of the Alkyl Amine (DMA) is expected to showcase softness in the upcoming sessions. This projection of price fluctuations is majorly attributed to the expectations of declining in the feedstock price and the pricing pressure from the Chinese market is expected to impact the challenges in the Alkyl Amine (DMA) price.
