Octadecylamine is primarily used as an emulsifying agent in different industries, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agrochemicals. The price of octadecylamine depends on various factors, but in the said period, it mirrored the price of its feedstock materials ammonia and stearic acid. The price of ammonia, one of the raw materials of octadecylamine, showed a declining trend, which pressured the prices of octadecylamine. Early in the quarter, low market confidence led to subdued activity, but demand in sectors such as surfactants, lubricants, and polymers began to recover as production ramped up.

In North America, the market displayed a mixed trajectory; while initial inventory levels supported demand, disruptions in logistics and fluctuating feedstock costs created uncertainties. By mid-quarter, rising production costs from upstream materials added to the volatility. Despite increased sales activity in certain applications, broader economic pressures tempered overall demand. As the period progressed, the interplay of strong demand in specific sectors and logistical constraints contributed to a slight decline in prices, reflecting the complexities of the octadecylamine market. Overall, these trends reflected the need for adaptability in navigating supply chain challenges while addressing evolving market conditions and consumer preferences.
