For the Quarter Ending September 2025
North America
• In the United States, the Triethylenetetramine Price Index rose quarter-over-quarter in Q3 2025, driven by increased feedstock costs and tightened supply.
• Demand for Triethylenetetramine strengthened in Q3 2025, supported by increased automotive and pharmaceutical sector activity.
• Manufacturing output expanded in August and September 2025, indicating robust industrial activity supporting Triethylenetetramine demand.
• Retail sales increased 5.42% year-over-year in September 2025, indirectly boosting Triethylenetetramine demand in consumer-related applications.
• The Producer Price Index rose 2.6% year-over-year in August 2025, reflecting higher input costs for Triethylenetetramine manufacturers.
• The Triethylenetetramine price forecast suggests continued upward pressure due to persistent supply constraints and firm demand outlook.
Why did the price of Triethylenetetramine change in September 2025 in North America?
• Ammonia costs rose in Q3 2025, increasing Triethylenetetramine production expenses.
• North American Ammonia supply tightened in July 2025 due to a major cracker outage.
• Stronger demand from automotive and pharmaceutical sectors in Q3 2025 supported higher Triethylenetetramine prices.
APAC
• In China, the Triethylenetetramine Price Index fell quarter-over-quarter, influenced by muted industrial demand in September 2025.
• Triethylenetetramine production costs faced downward pressure in Q3 2025 due to volatile coal costs impacting ammonia feedstock and the EDC cost also witnessed a notable decline.
• Demand for Triethylenetetramine was supported by a 6.5% year-on-year increase in industrial production in September 2025.
• The manufacturing market demand showed continued improvement in September 2025, despite the manufacturing index contracting.
• Automotive sector demand strengthened in Q3 2025, with New Energy Vehicle shipments surging through August 2025.
• The Producer Price Index (PPI) declined by 2.3% year-on-year in September 2025, reflecting weak industrial pricing.
Why did the price of Triethylenetetramine change in September 2025 in APAC?
• The Producer Price Index (PPI) fell 2.3% year-on-year in September 2025, signaling weak industrial demand.
• The manufacturing index contracted in September 2025, leading to reduced industrial activity and TETA consumption.
• Ammonia and EDC feedstock costs faced downward pressure in Q3 2025 due to volatile coal costs and environmental regulations.
Europe
• In Germany, the Triethylenetetramine Price Index fell quarter-over-quarter in Q3 2025, driven by weak industrial demand and lower input costs.
• The Triethylenetetramine demand outlook remained weak in Q3 2025, with overall chemical demand and automotive sector demand moderating.
• The Manufacturing Index was Contracting in Q3 2025, alongside a 1.0% decline in September 2025 industrial production, reducing demand.
• Ammonia feedstock costs for Triethylenetetramine production rose in Q3 2025 while the EDC cost fell sharply thereby supporting the overall production cost.
• CPI rose 2.4% in September 2025; stable 6.3% unemployment and 0.2% retail sales growth gave mixed demand signals.
Why did the price of Triethylenetetramine change in September 2025 in Europe?
• Weak industrial production, down 1.0% in September 2025, reduced overall demand for Triethylenetetramine.
• Producer prices fell by 1.7% in September 2025, driven by adequate feedstock supply, easing production expenses.
• Contracting Manufacturing Index in Q3 2025 and weak automotive/construction demand dampened Triethylenetetramine prices.
