Quarterly Update on Global Alkyl Amines Market

For the Quarter Ending September 2020

Asia

Compared to Q2, sentiments for Alkyl Amines were heard turning bullish due to robust demand from the pharmaceutical and agrochemical customers that constitute a majority share in the Asian Alkyl Amine demand. An Indian producer revealed plans for establishing a new plant for Ethyl Amines by the next quarter. Producers were heard operating at peak utilization levels due to better offtakes and strong performance of high-margin Amine derivatives. Firming upstream Methanol further triggered a rise in the Mono Methyl Amine offers which were settled around USD 1930 per MT CFR India during Jul-Sep period, thus keeping the overall margins intact. An Indian trader expressed optimism over the market outlook in the forthcoming year as the government’s plan to set up pharmaceutical bulk drug parks are indicative of big capacities for APIs in India and thus for Amine intermediates.

North America

The third quarter proved to be a good one for the American Amine producers as it remained a high-performance business for the region both in terms of volume and revenue-mix despite facing headwinds due to outages and a series of plant turnarounds caused by Hurricane Laura. A US-based tertiary Alkyl Amine manufacturer reported that its trades were hit by temporary closure of one of its largest customers during the quarter. Outlook remained stable-to-firm amid anticipations that greater enquiries from the pharmaceutical and agrochemicals sector would be the key demand driver in the upcoming quarters. While Eastman, is eyeing on hefty investments at its tertiary Alkyl Amines facility at the Pace, Florida unit, Dow is planning to shut some amines and solvent plants in the US and Europe.

Europe

Downstream demand was heard gaining positive momentum after a major drag observed in Q2. Volumes and margins of Ethyl amines remained weak due to the overall depressed economy and competitive pressures. The regional Methyl amine manufacturers continued to optimize their asset footprints in efforts to reduce structural costs and enhance competitiveness of their business when the potential restrictions continued to affect the overall consumption. Alkyl amine imports remained largely impacted with the suppliers keeping a close eye on operating rates and adjusting production according to suppressed demand levels.

About

Alkyl Amines is a large class of nitrogen-containing organic compounds used across a plethora of chemical industries. Amines are generally produced through hydrogen-reduction reactions using metals as catalysts under high pressure. Amines are generally produced from Ammonia (NH3), by displacement of Hydrogen molecule in the Ammonia molecule with alkyl radicals (R) such as Methyl, Ethylene, Propanol etc. Structurally, three types of alkyl amines are produced-Primary, Secondary or Tertiary, based on the number of hydrogen atoms displaced. Alkyl Amines have wide-ranging applications in the rubber processing chemicals, agrochemicals, surfactants, and solvents. The key end-use markets that they serve include explosives, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, animal/poultry feed additives and water-treatment. Globally, the Alkyl Amines industry is an oligopoly with two-three producers catering to the majority demand. Eastman Chemical Company and BASF are the largest players globally among the top six players having a greater hold of the global Alkyl Amine capacities.
