Market Overview Q4 Ending December 2025
Northeast Asia: The melamine prices in Northeast Asia reached 0.85 USD/KG in December 2025. The downward pricing movement registered between September and December 2025 was 4.3%. Weakened downstream demand from the laminate, adhesive resin, and melamine formaldehyde molding compound manufacturing sectors, which lowered procurement quantities amid muted activity in the region's building and furniture industries, was the main cause of the price reduction. Regional manufacturers' production cost support was further undermined by declining upstream urea feedstock costs. While excess production capacity from recently expanded facilities increased supply side pressure, high inventory levels among big producers exacerbated competitive pricing strategies to speed up stock clearance.
Europe: The melamine prices in Europe reached 1.34 USD/KG in December 2025. The downward pricing movement registered between September and December 2025 was 0.8%. The marginal price decline reflected a largely stable market environment, with moderate demand from the decorative laminate, surface coating, and melamine formaldehyde resin sectors sustaining consistent procurement volumes throughout the quarter. Softening upstream urea feedstock costs provided slight downward pressure on production economics for regional manufacturers. Adequate supply availability from established production facilities maintained comfortable inventory levels, while elevated energy costs associated with high temperature trimerization processes partially offset feedstock cost reductions.
South America: The melamine prices in South America reached 0.93 USD/KG in December 2025. The downward pricing movement registered between September and December 2025 was 3.3%. The moderate price decline was attributed to subdued demand from the laminate, tableware, and adhesive resin manufacturing sectors amid broader economic slowdown and reduced construction activity across the region. Increased import availability from competitively priced cargoes exerted additional downward pressure on prevailing market rates, while softening upstream urea feedstock costs further diminished production cost benchmarks for regional suppliers. Elevated stockpile positions among key distributors dampened restocking urgency, while conservative procurement strategies adopted by downstream consumers anticipating continued market softening restricted purchasing competition, sustaining mildly bearish pricing conditions throughout the quarterly period.
Middle East: The melamine prices in the Middle East reached 1.48 USD/KG in December 2025. The pricing movement remained unchanged between September and December 2025. A largely steady market environment, with a balance between supply and demand fundamentals across the region, was reflected in the flat pricing trajectory. While sufficient import availability from reputable sourcing channels guaranteed comfortable supply volumes, moderate consumption from the laminate, surface coating, and industrial adhesive sectors maintained steady procurement activity. Production cost benchmarks were maintained by stable upstream urea feedstock costs, and any notable price fluctuations were constrained by the balanced inventory positions of major distributors.
North America: The melamine prices in North America reached 1.95 USD/KG in December 2025. The upward pricing movement registered between September and December 2025 was 2.7%. The moderate price appreciation was underpinned by sustained demand from the decorative laminate, surface coating, and flame retardant additive sectors, which maintained robust procurement volumes throughout the quarter. Tightened supply conditions, driven by capacity constraints at key production facilities and limited domestic manufacturing output, intensified procurement competition among downstream consumers. Firm upstream urea feedstock costs provided pricing support for regional suppliers, while elevated import dependency amid rising international benchmark valuations increased landed cost assessments. Additionally, elevated logistics and transportation costs further reinforced delivered pricing levels, while steady consumption from the tableware and molding compound segments sustained strong offtake fundamentals, maintaining moderately bullish pricing momentum across the quarterly period.
Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Northeast Asia: Melamine prices in Northeast Asia declined this quarter as the melamine price index reflected weaker demand from the laminates and adhesives sectors. Ample availability from regional producers, supported by stable urea feedstock supply, added to bearish sentiment. Limited export opportunities further pressured prices, with sluggish construction activity weighing on downstream offtake.
Europe: In Europe, melamine prices dropped as reduced demand from furniture and construction industries curbed procurement. The melamine price index weakened as derivative sectors, particularly laminates and wood-based panels, operated at lower rates. Steady imports and sufficient regional supply prevented any upward correction, while muted housing and infrastructure projects reinforced the downward trajectory.
South America: Melamine prices in South America rose, with the melamine price index showing resilience compared to other regions. Strong demand from the construction and furniture sectors boosted procurement, while localized supply challenges contributed to upward momentum. Import dependency and higher logistics costs further strengthened prices across the quarter.
Middle East: In the Middle East, melamine prices remained nearly unchanged as balanced market fundamentals prevailed. The melamine price index showed marginal movement, with steady supply from regional producers matching moderate demand from construction and laminates applications. Export flows provided some stability, preventing any sharper decline in market sentiment.
North America: Melamine prices in North America declined moderately as the melamine price index reflected weaker consumption from the furniture and adhesives industries. Stable production levels and adequate supply chains kept inventories high, while subdued demand from the construction sector prevented any price recovery. Competitive imports added to bearish pressures.

Product Description
Melamine (C₃H₆N₆) is an organic compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen, characterized by its high nitrogen content and stability. It is primarily produced from urea through catalytic processes. Melamine is widely used in the manufacture of melamine-formaldehyde resins, which are known for their durability, heat resistance, and glossy finish. These resins are extensively applied in laminates, wood-based panels, adhesives, coatings, and molding compounds. In addition, melamine finds applications in flame-retardant materials, automotive components, and household goods such as dinnerware. Its high thermal stability and hardness make it a valuable material for both industrial and consumer applications, particularly in sectors that demand strength, resistance, and aesthetic performance.
