During the first quarter of 2025, the dimethylamine prices in the USA reached 2900 USD/MT in March. In Q1 2025, dimethylamine prices in the USA were driven by fluctuations in upstream ammonia and methanol costs, both influenced by energy market volatility. While demand from the agrochemical and pharmaceutical sectors remained steady, harsh winter conditions disrupted Gulf Coast production logistics in January, temporarily tightening supply. Stabilized freight rates by March helped normalize pricing trajectories across regions.

During the first quarter of 2025, dimethylamine prices in China reached 720 USD/MT in March. In this period, China’s dimethylamine market faced price pressure in Q1 2025 due to weak downstream demand from agrochemical producers and sluggish industrial activity post-Lunar New Year. Feedstock cost volatility, particularly in methanol, added instability early in the quarter. Inventory build-up from Q4 2024 and restrained export volumes also kept prices largely in check despite modest recovery by quarter-end.

During the first quarter of 2025, the dimethylamine prices in Germany reached 2785 USD/MT in March. Dimethylamine prices in Germany remained relatively elevated in Q1 2025, supported by persistently high energy input costs and limited regional availability of feedstocks.

Europe Dimethylamine Price Trend

Q1 2025:

As per the dimethylamine price index, dimethylamine (DMA) prices in Europe in this period were influenced by easing feedstock costs, stable but moderate domestic demand, and weakened export activity. January’s price drop followed a reduction in ammonia and methanol values. Despite strikes and port congestion in February, supply remained steady with sufficient inventories. March saw deeper price cuts as Ammonia contracts settled lower, while cautious pharmaceutical demand, driven by new US tariffs, and adverse currency movements pressured international prices. Overall, supply resilience and subdued buying led to a significant quarterly price correction.

Q2 2024:

The dimethylamine market in Europe faced consistent price declines throughout Q2 2024, impacted by the reduced demand from essential downstream industries like pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. A combination of surplus supply and economic reservations hampered the market, with destocking becoming more common. Despite higher methanol costs, overall DMA demand stayed low, exacerbated by economic challenges and unfavorable weather, which affected agriculture and related sectors. Germany experienced marked price fluctuations, underscoring a bearish trend driven by supply-demand imbalances. This challenging quarter saw European DMA markets characterized by a negative sentiment reflecting both regional and global pressures on pricing.

Q4 2023:

A notable uptick in dimethylamine prices has been witnessed across Germany during this quarter. The economic environment remains complex, shaped by geopolitical uncertainties and interest rate policies. Key German industries are facing challenges due to escalating raw material costs, which are impacting both market demand as well as profitability. The rise in the manufacturing PMI signifies industrial activity growth and stronger demand from several end-use industries. In Germany, the need for Dimethylamine is pronounced in industries, including fertilizers, surfactants, and pharmaceuticals. The reduction in the dumping of Chinese inventory, alongside increased production of domestic chemical has bolstered orders from local manufacturers and downstream markets. This trend is expected to drive further production growth, reinforcing Germany’s strong presence in the European market.

North America Dimethylamine Price

Q1 2025:

As per the dimethylamine price index, in Q1 2025, the North American prices were impacted by a blend of steady supply, moderated demand, and growing market uncertainty. Feedstock availability remained adequate, but logistical issues like port congestion and freight delays persisted. Inventory surpluses and slower procurement activity, especially in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, exerted downward pressure. Trade policy shifts, FDA leadership changes, and fluctuating farm economics tempered sectoral demand. Despite stable fundamentals, caution driven by regulatory and trade uncertainties led to a broad market correction, reinforcing the overall bearish pricing trend for DMA.

Q2 2024: 

In Q2 2024, prices for dimethylamine in North America experienced a steady decline due to a combination of the decreased demand in the sector and erratic feedstock prices. Lower ammonia prices significantly contributed to reduced production costs; however, hiked methanol costs did little to reverse the trend. The agricultural sector showed a sluggish recovery following the planting season, while demand from the personal care and pharmaceutical industries remained modest. The United States saw substantial price drops, reflecting a bearish market influenced by seasonal factors and adjustments within various sectors. Overall, the sentiment across North America was negative, shaped by these economic pressures and changes within key industries impacting dimethylamine market.

Q4 2023:

In the United States, Dimethylamine prices have been on an upward trajectory, supported by steady market conditions among suppliers. This increase is tied to the favorable and stable costs of methanol and ammonia, which have not shown major volatility. The robust demand within the U.S. has led to a rise in exports during the period in question. Factors such as higher freight charges, tensions in the Middle East, and low water levels in the Panama Canal have also played a role in driving prices up in the United States. The manufacturing PMI indicates significant growth, reflecting the ongoing economic restructuring. Despite the high prices set by U.S. suppliers, the supply of dimethylamine has decreased, diverging from movements in feedstock markets as well as industrial needs across several sectors, including pharmaceuticals, textiles, and chemicals. Traders still show interest, which suggests a positive market sentiment.

Demand held strong in agrochemicals, supported by pre-planting season needs, and pharmaceuticals benefited from steady exports despite US tariff pressures. While producers managed inventories conservatively, improved logistics and favorable exchange rates later in the quarter helped stabilize the market. Overall, supply constraints and firm demand drove the upward price momentum.

Q2 2024: 

In Q2 2024, dimethylamine prices in the Asia Pacific experienced upward momentum, largely due to increased demand from sectors such as pharmaceuticals, personal care, and agrochemicals. Rising ammonia feedstock costs coupled with strategic inventory management, especially by the chemical industry, further drove this price growth. China witnessed the most distinct price rises, as the international demand boosted the region’s overall market. Effective inventory strategies by chemical producers helped stabilize and eventually push prices upward. The APAC market’s year-over-year growth indicates robust demand dynamics, with a particularly strong impact from export markets shaping the quarter’s upward trend. 

Q4 2023:

Within the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in China, Dimethylamine prices have seen a decline during the fourth quarter of 2024. This decline can be accredited to stable feedstock costs, with methanol and ammonia prices remaining steady throughout the period. Key industry players are investing heavily to grow their operations, seeking to lower reliance on imports, particularly from China. However, lower PMI figures for the period indicate a slowdown in domestic industrial production. The availability of ample inventories in major sectors has led to reduced bidding activity, contributing to a bearish market sentiment. This analysis highlights the various factors impacting the China market. By the quarter end, the market shows a continued downward trend due to oversupply, which is putting further pressure on prices.
