- USA: USD 4500/MT
- China: USD 3969/MT
- Japan: USD 5472/MT
- Australia: USD 3167/MT
- Canada: USD 4205/MT
During the second quarter of 2025, the hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) prices in the USA reached 4500 USD/MT in June. The decline was influenced by lower demand from industrial coatings and adhesive segments. Manufacturing activity slowed amid seasonal moderation and cautious procurement behavior from downstream sectors. Import costs were stable, supported by favorable freight conditions and consistent feedstock availability. Reduced oil-based input prices and stable domestic logistics helped limit cost volatility. However, moderate inflation in utilities slightly offset the impact of lower raw material expenses. Overall, prices declined due to ample supply and weaker consumption patterns during Q2 2025.
During the second quarter of 2025, the hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) prices in China reached 3969 USD/MT in June. The downward movement was driven by abundant supply and restrained domestic demand from automotive refinishing and industrial coating applications. Weak export activity also limited market momentum. Manufacturers maintained high operating rates to sustain production efficiency, contributing to inventory build-up. Feedstock costs remained largely stable, while declining international freight rates eased overall expenses. Economic uncertainty and conservative purchasing behavior from end-users restricted large-volume orders. Consequently, Chinese HDI prices continued their downward trajectory during Q2 2025.
During the second quarter of 2025, the hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) prices in Japan reached 5472 USD/MT in June. The fall in prices was linked to weakening industrial output and limited export opportunities. Automotive and construction sectors, major consumers of HDI, reported declining production volumes. Currency stability minimized import cost variations, while lower energy expenses slightly reduced manufacturing costs. However, subdued regional demand in East Asia limited price recovery. Despite stable feedstock availability, oversupply conditions persisted in domestic markets.
During the second quarter of 2025, the hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) prices in Australia reached 3167 USD/MT in June. Market softness resulted from lower import costs and moderate downstream consumption. Domestic coating producers reduced procurement volumes due to subdued construction demand. Improved supply chain efficiency and favorable shipping rates further eased cost burdens. Additionally, stable raw material availability and lower energy tariffs supported price reductions. Import parity advantages strengthened as global trade routes stabilized.
During the second quarter of 2025, the hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) prices in Canada reached 4205 USD/MT in June. The decline reflected steady domestic production and weaker end-use demand in the automotive coatings sector. Industrial slowdown and limited construction activities restricted new orders. Favorable logistics conditions, particularly reduced freight surcharges, supported supply stability. Energy and feedstock prices remained relatively constant, preventing sharp price fluctuations. However, slower market activity and balanced inventories maintained downward pricing pressure.

Asia Pacific Hexamethylene Diisocyanate (HDI) Price Trend
Q3 2025:
In Q3 2025, HDI prices across the Asia Pacific region recorded downward movement, led by China, Japan, and Australia. The decline stemmed from weak export activity, subdued domestic construction demand, and elevated production rates. Raw material supplies remained steady, while lower shipping charges and freight rates eased costs. Industrial coatings demand stayed soft, particularly in automotive and infrastructure applications. As a result, overall HDI pricing in Asia Pacific declined modestly during the third quarter of 2025.
Q2 2025:
In the Asia Pacific region, hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) prices trended downward throughout Q2 2025 due to weaker industrial output and reduced consumption in major economies such as China, Japan, and South Korea. Export orders declined as global demand for industrial and automotive coatings softened. Production rates in regional plants remained stable, leading to sufficient market supply and gradual inventory build-up. Declining maritime freight rates and improved port handling efficiency reduced overall logistics costs. Energy expenses stabilized, particularly in China, supporting consistent operating margins.
Q1 2025:
Throughout Q1 2025, the market had a tumultuous trend marked by price swings and unequal demand from important industries. Stronger feedstock supply and steady production levels across key manufacturing regions initially supported prices. However, slow domestic demand restrained price growth, particularly in the construction and automotive industries. With post-Lunar New Year supply availability pushing prices lower, the market entered a more pessimistic phase by February. Weak demand from essential industries made this situation much worse.

Product Description
Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) is a prominent aliphatic diisocyanate that is a transparent, thin liquid commonly utilized in making polyurethane coatings, adhesives, and elastomers. It is produced by the reaction between hexamethylene diamine and phosgene. It is available in three primary derivatives, including HDI biuret, HDI isocyanurate, and HDI trimer, each with distinct characteristics suited for various uses.
HDI is acknowledged for its ability to improve the quality of polyurethane items, especially in coatings that need to be long-lasting and able to withstand various environmental elements like ultraviolet (UV) radiation, moisture, and chemicals. Its aliphatic composition offers better protection when compared to aromatic isocyanates, which makes it ideal for use in transparent coatings and finishes. It enhances the mechanical attributes of polyurethane products, such as strength, malleability, and resistance to wear. It also improves the durability and visual attractiveness of coatings utilized in automotive, aerospace, industrial, and architectural sectors.
