Europe Hexamethylene Diisocyanate (HDI) Price Trend
Q1 2025:
As per the hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) price index, the market saw considerable price volatility due to supply disruptions, geopolitical concerns, and variations in demand by industry. Due to limited supplies of butadiene and crude oil, which were made worse by geopolitical tensions between Russia and Iran, prices spiked at the start of the quarter. The demand for heating oil was further strained by extremely cold weather, leading to shortages.
Q4 2023:
During Q4 2023, there was a decrease in the European market due to a drop in demand for polyurethane products. At the start of the quarter, an increase in the accessibility of bio-based options, combined with an excess supply, led to a decrease in demand from buyers. Despite consistent shipping costs, manufacturing activity decreased as reported by the Manufacturing PMI data. At the close of the quarter, economic instability caused a decrease in the furniture market, resulting in a decreased need for polyurethane foams. As a result, there was a sustained surplus of HDI inventories and minimal consumption rates, causing a further decrease in the market.

North America Hexamethylene Diisocyanate (HDI) Price Trend
Q1 2025:
Due to persistent supply-side constraints and consistent demand from significant industries, the North American market demonstrated an overall upward trend in the first quarter of 2025. Market confidence was bolstered by regulated production and indications of a small revival in the U.S. manufacturing sector. A decline in crude oil prices first affected feedstock costs, but other elements, including shifting trade regulations and geopolitical unrest, influenced production costs.
Q4 2023:
During the last quarter of 2023, the North American market experienced a decline, primarily caused by decreased demand and stagnant production within the polyurethane sector. The early decline in demand in the automotive industry was caused by reduced manufacturing activity due to the UAW strike. The market was further impacted by stable political tensions leading to falling prices of Butadiene and crude oil. Midway through the quarter, cargo rates dropped owing to low water levels in key shipping routes, which resulted in an increase in HDI inventories domestically. The market remained inactive due to the rise of bio-based replacements and careful consumer spending, resulting in consistently low prices.

Product Description
Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) is an important 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.
