Asia
In Q4’25, Hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) prices in Asia mostly moved on a soft to stable path. The market faced weak downstream demand which limited buying interest. Oversupply conditions remained a concern as several producers continued running plants despite slow offtake. At the same time, competition from Chinese suppliers stayed strong, adding pressure on regional trade flows. Feedstock availability improved, which reduced production cost stress, but this did not support higher prices due to cautious purchasing. Overall, sellers struggled to push prices up, and buyers remained cautious throughout the quarter.
Europe
In Europe, HMDA prices in Q4’25 showed a slightly downward to stable trend. Demand from automotive and industrial sectors stayed muted, reflecting broader economic uncertainty. Nylon resin oversupply weighed heavily on the value chain, reducing the need for fresh HMDA purchases. Although energy and logistics conditions were more stable than earlier in the year, the lack of strong end-use demand kept the market under pressure. Producers focused on inventory control, but supply still exceeded the actual consumption, limiting any upward movement.
North America
North American HMDA prices weakened during the said period owing to oversupply in the nylon market. Reduced nylon operating rates and production pullbacks highlighted poor demand conditions. Buyers delayed purchases and focused on running down inventories. Feedstock availability improved, which eased cost pressure for producers, but this advantage was not passed through to price gains. Manufacturers maintained supply discipline, yet overall market sentiment remained soft. As a result, pricing stayed under pressure with limited room for recovery during the quarter.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, HMDA prices are expected to remain stable in the coming months, with any recovery depending on demand improvement and tighter supply across regions.

Asia
In the third quarter of 2025, Hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) prices in Asia moved lower due to weak downstream demand and oversupply in the region. The slow construction sector in countries like China and India, affected by extreme weather and monsoon disruptions, reduced the need for coatings, adhesives, and nylon intermediates made from HMDA.
Many buyers purchased only limited quantities to manage existing inventories, while producers faced rising stock levels and weaker margins. Feedstock costs, particularly from naphtha based raw materials, stayed low as crude oil prices softened amid higher global supply, further pressuring the overall market sentiment.
Europe
In Europe, HMDA prices also stayed under pressure throughout Q3’25. Seasonal slowdowns, especially during the summer holidays, led to reduced industrial activity and lower consumption in the construction and automotive sectors. Producers faced limited export opportunities as trade barriers and tariffs from key markets like the U.S. made European products less competitive.
The market also saw steady inventories with limited restocking activity, as buyers adopted a cautious stance due to uncertain demand. Overall, weak domestic consumption and reduced international trade kept the regional market subdued.
North America
In North America, market conditions for HMDA remained soft but stable. The slowdown in industrial consumption and muted construction activity weighed on demand, particularly for downstream applications. While local producers managed to maintain supply, competition from low-cost Asian imports and oversupply in the global market added pricing pressure.
Some chemical manufacturers adjusted operations or cut costs to balance weak margins. Overall, the U.S. market mirrored the global sentiment of slow demand and restrained trading activity.

The hydrogenation of adiponitrile produces it. The hydrogenation is carried out on molten adiponitrile diluted with ammonia, with cobalt and iron as usual catalysts. The yield is good, but the reactivity of partly hydrogenated intermediates produces economically important side products. 1,2-diaminocyclohexane, hexamethyleneimine, and the triamine bisphosphate are among the additional products (hexamethylenetriamine).
