For the Quarter Ending September 2025
North America
• In United States, the Monoethyl Amine Price Index rose quarter-over-quarter in Q3 2025, driven by increased production costs.
• Monoethyl Amine production costs increased in Q3 2025 due to rising ammonia and tightening ethylene oxide feedstock.
• Demand for Monoethyl Amine strengthened in pharmaceutical and agricultural chemical sectors during Q3 2025.
• Industrial production increased marginally by 0.1% year-over-year in September 2025, indicating weak manufacturing growth.
• Retail sales increased 5.42% year-over-year in September 2025, supporting demand for consumer goods utilizing Monoethyl Amine.
• Raw material inventories for chemical manufacturers contracted in Q3 2025, contributing to Monoethyl Amine supply tightness.
• Inflationary pressures, with CPI up 3.0% in September 2025 and PPI up 2.6% in August 2025, elevated expenses.
• Consumer confidence declined in September 2025, potentially dampening future demand for Monoethyl Amine.
Why did the price of Monoethyl Amine change in September 2025 in North America?
• Rising ammonia and ethylene oxide feedstock costs increased Monoethyl Amine production expenses in Q3 2025.
• US chemical production declined, and regional ammonia supply tightened, limiting Monoethyl Amine availability.
• Strong demand from pharmaceutical and agricultural sectors supported Monoethyl Amine price increases in Q3 2025.
APAC
• In China, the Monoethyl Amine Price Index fell quarter-over-quarter in Q3 2025, influenced by weak industrial demand.
• The Monoethyl Amine Price Forecast suggests continued pressure from persistent chemical overcapacity in China.
• Production costs were impacted by volatile coal costs and slight ethanol price gains during Q3 2025.
• Manufacturing market demand for Monoethyl Amine improved in September 2025, recovering from a July slowdown.
• China's Manufacturing Index contracted in September 2025, despite a 6.5% industrial production increase.
• Raw material inventories for Monoethyl Amine declined July-August 2025, narrowing in September.
• Negative CPI (-0.3%) and PPI (-2.3%) in September 2025 indicated weak consumer and industrial pricing.
• Retail sales increased 3.0% year-on-year in September 2025, offering moderate support to consumer sectors.
• Consumer confidence at 89.6 and 5.2% unemployment in September 2025 dampened discretionary spending.
Why did the price of Monoethyl Amine change in September 2025 in APAC?
• Contracting Manufacturing Index in September 2025 indicated weak industrial demand, pressuring prices.
• Negative PPI (-2.3%) and CPI (-0.3%) in September 2025 signaled broad price deflation.
• Overall chemical overcapacity in China, as noted in Q3 2025, pressured prices.
Europe
• In Germany, the Monoethyl Amine Price Index remained stable quarter-over-quarter in Q3 2025, influenced by mixed macroeconomic signals.
• Monoethyl Amine production costs faced upward pressure from a 2.4% CPI YoY increase in September 2025, raising operational expenses.
• However, producer prices for industrial products fell by 1.7% YoY in September 2025, driven by lower energy costs.
• Monoethyl Amine demand was challenged by a contracting Manufacturing Index in Q3 2025 and a 1.0% industrial production decline in September 2025.
• Ethylene oxide feedstock costs strongly increased in early July 2025, contributing to higher Monoethyl Amine manufacturing expenses.
• Retail sales rose by 0.2% YoY in September 2025, and stable unemployment at 6.3% supported consumer-facing Monoethyl Amine demand.
• Inventory depletion of purchases and finished goods in German manufacturing in July 2025 indicated cautious market activity.
• Monoethyl Amine price forecast suggests continued stability, balancing cost pressures against weakened industrial demand.
Why did the price of Monoethyl Amine change in September 2025 in Europe?
• Lower energy prices, reflected in a 1.7% PPI YoY decrease in September 2025, reduced Monoethyl Amine production costs.
• A contracting Manufacturing Index in Q3 2025 and declining industrial production in September 2025 dampened Monoethyl Amine demand.
• Increased ethylene oxide feedstock costs in early July 2025 exerted upward pressure on Monoethyl Amine manufacturing expenses.
