In October 2025, Aniline prices in Europe dropped by 9.3% due to lower production costs and moderate demand. Stable industrial activity and improved crude oil supplies led to lower feedstock benzene prices, which reduced manufacturing costs. Supply stayed steady despite global disruptions since Europe’s trade and logistics systems proved somewhat resilient. Efforts to improve green logistics and digital infrastructure helped maintain long-term stability. However, refiners later reduced production because of low margins and uncertain demand. Aniline demand remained strong, driven by its key roles in the automotive and pharmaceutical industries. It is used in polyurethane for vehicle interiors and in drug manufacturing. Looking ahead, North America may experience rising aniline prices because colder weather could lead to higher energy costs, slower industrial output, and limited logistics activity. While supply might tighten, steady demand from pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals could support pricing as producers will raise the quotations to protect their margins.
