  • Global epoxy resin prices showed mixed regional movements in Q2’26, with Asia declining sharply while Europe and North America faced balanced supply and demand conditions.
  • Feedstock costs weakened due to lower BPA, phenol, acetone and other raw material prices, reducing production cost support.
  • Downstream demand remained cautious, with weak construction and industrial activity limiting consumption despite support from automotive and infrastructure applications.

Asia

Epoxy Resin prices in China declined to ~RMB 18.34/kg and ~RMB 16.41/kg, respectively, in the starting two months of the second quarter of 2026, showing a ~10.5% decrease. The market faced strong downward pressure due to high domestic supply, falling raw material costs and weak purchasing from coatings, flooring, electronics and composite manufacturers. Liquid epoxy resin prices continued declining as BPA costs weakened, with lower phenol and acetone prices reducing production expenses. BPA supply increased as Chinese plants operated at higher rates, supported by restarts, new capacity and higher inventories. Demand remained weak due to slow property activity, limited construction orders and lower export demand, causing finished-product inventories to build and forcing suppliers to reduce offers.

Europe

Epoxy Resin prices in Germany declined to ~EUR 2.40/kg in April and ~EUR 2.16/kg in the following month, showing a ~9.9% decrease. European markets remained relatively firmer than Asia during parts of Q2 due to balanced supply and earlier feedstock cost pressure. Higher energy and raw material costs supported producer pricing, while supply availability remained controlled. However, weak downstream demand limited further increases, with euro-area building construction declining 5.2% year over year in April. Lower construction activity reduced epoxy consumption in flooring, protective coatings, adhesives and structural applications.
 
North America

Epoxy Resin prices in the United States declined to ~USD 2,773.53/MT in April and ~USD 2,545.19/MT in the subsequent month, showing a ~8.2% decrease. The market faced pressure from lower raw material costs and competitive supply conditions, including lower-priced Asian material availability. Producer margins remained under pressure despite improved sales volumes, as pricing conditions weakened. Downstream demand was mixed, with construction-supply production and automotive activity supporting coatings, adhesives and composite applications.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, epoxy resin prices are expected to remain under pressure as supply remains adequate and feedstock costs stay weak, while demand recovery in construction and industrial applications will determine market direction.
