In Asia, and specifically in China, Methyl Amine prices began to decline beginning in mid-September 2025, primarily as a result of reduced upstream costs and major destocking efforts. Prompted by good demand from both the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, converters and distributors began to adopt a more cautious approach to purchasing, significantly reducing their level of speculative buying and concentrating on managing active inventory. This was a mild instance of market pressure as feedstock costs exacerbated pricing behavior, while inventory level changes had a significant impact on Methyl Amine pricing behavior in the short run. Further, in India the Methyl Amine price experienced stability, in part due to the stable Methanol and Ammonia prices. In conjunction with this cautious perspective of the market, suppliers were busy on multiple fronts adjusting production and pricing to spur demand and manage inventory levels. This was further used to offset this cautious sentiment in the marketplace.
