For the Quarter Ending September 2025
North America
• In United States, Diethylamine Price Index rose in Q3 2025, driven by significant feedstock cost increases.
• Production costs increased, influenced by a 3.0% CPI rise in September 2025 and a 2.6% PPI rise in August 2025.
• Demand outlook mixed; weak general chemical demand contrasted with increased pharmaceutical new drug approvals in Q3 2025.
• Ammonia and ethanol feedstock costs rose significantly in Q3 2025 due to tightening supply, impacting production expenses.
• Industrial production showed a minimal 0.1% year-over-year increase in September 2025, indicating weak industrial demand.
• Consumer confidence declined to 94.2 in September 2025, suggesting reduced discretionary spending and bearish demand outlook.
• Retail sales increased 5.42% year-over-year in September 2025, indirectly supporting Diethylamine demand in consumer goods.
• The Diethylamine Price Forecast suggests continued upward pressure from energy and feedstock costs, despite persistent oversupply from Asia.
Why did the price of Diethylamine change in September 2025 in North America?
• Production costs rose from a 2.6% PPI increase in August 2025 and spiked natural gas prices in Q3 2025.
• Ethanol and ammonia feedstock costs strengthened in Q3 2025 due to inventory draws and tightening supply.
• Weak general chemical demand and declining consumer confidence partially offset cost-driven price increases.
APAC
• In China, Diethylamine Price Index fell quarter-over-quarter, driven by negative PPI and contracting manufacturing in September 2025.
• Diethylamine production costs showed mixed trends in Q3 2025, with ethanol feedstock costs gaining slightly while ammonia prices slipped.
• Diethylamine demand outlook was mixed; strengthening automotive/agricultural sectors contrasted with pessimistic consumer confidence in Q3 2025.
• Overall chemical inventories remained elevated in Q3 2025 due to persistent global overcapacity, contributing to market pressure on Diethylamine.
• China's industrial production increased by 6.5% year-on-year in September 2025, offering some support for Diethylamine demand.
• Retail sales grew by 3.0% year-on-year in September 2025, indirectly bolstering Diethylamine demand in consumer-linked applications.
• Negative CPI (-0.3%) and PPI (-2.3%) in September 2025 suggested deflationary pressures, impacting Diethylamine price levels.
• Diethylamine price forecast remains under pressure due to overcapacity and subdued industrial demand despite some sector strengths.
Why did the price of Diethylamine change in September 2025 in APAC?
• Negative PPI (-2.3%) in September 2025 reflected weak industrial demand, pressuring Diethylamine prices downward.
• Contracting Manufacturing Index in September 2025 indicated reduced new orders, lowering Diethylamine demand.
• Elevated chemical inventories in Q3 2025, coupled with overcapacity, pressured Diethylamine prices downward.
Europe
• In Germany, the Diethylamine Price Index fell in Q3 2025, influenced by contracting manufacturing and declining producer prices.
• Production costs faced pressure from elevated European ethanol feedstock and ammonia import prices in Q3 2025.
• Diethylamine demand remained weak as German industrial output contracted -1.0% year-over-year in September 2025.
• The Manufacturing Index for Q3 2025 was contracting, signaling reduced demand for industrial intermediates.
• European natural gas prices moderated in Q3 2025, but higher energy costs challenged chemical producers.
• Consumer Price Index rose 2.4% year-over-year in September 2025, indicating inflation impacting consumer purchasing.
• Retail sales grew 0.2% year-over-year in September 2025, offering slight support for consumer applications.
• The stable 6.3% unemployment rate in September 2025 suggested a stable labor market, not robust demand.
