Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025

Northeast Asia: In Northeast Asia, naphthalene prices rose modestly, with the keyword price index reflecting stable demand growth across downstream industries. Consumption from the textile and construction chemical sectors provided steady support, while feedstock availability from coal tar distillation remained balanced. Export activity improved slightly, enhancing regional market sentiment. Despite competitive imports, strong local procurement prevented significant downward pressure. Buyers maintained steady interest, and producers reported stable operations, allowing prices to track upward in line with sustained demand.

Europe: Europe registered a sharper increase in naphthalene prices, with the keyword price index recording strong gains supported by robust demand. The construction and plasticizer industries contributed to higher procurement volumes, while reduced feedstock availability tightened market conditions. Imports were less competitive during the quarter, strengthening domestic producers’ positions. Improved margins supported steady output levels, yet supply lagged behind rising demand, fueling bullish sentiment. The region benefitted from consistent industrial activity, sustaining price momentum across both primary and derivative applications.

India: In India, naphthalene prices advanced steadily, supported by firm downstream demand from the textile finishing and dye intermediates industries. The keyword price index reflected improving procurement activity, as local manufacturers expanded production schedules. Adequate coal tar availability ensured supply stability, while stronger construction activity added an extra layer of demand support. Export markets also remained active, with regional suppliers benefiting from higher international inquiries. These factors collectively reinforced a stable upward trajectory in domestic prices through the quarter.

North America: In North America, naphthalene prices moved higher, with the keyword price index showing moderate gains. The market benefitted from stable consumption in the construction chemicals sector, while demand for dye intermediates provided additional support. Domestic supply was adequate, with balanced coal tar feedstock availability keeping production consistent. Import flows were steady, ensuring no major disruptions to supply chains. Buyers accepted slightly higher pricing as improved downstream pull and firm procurement trends outweighed supply-side stability, resulting in moderate upward pressure.

Product Description

Naphthalene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C₁₀H₈, typically derived from coal tar distillation or petroleum processing. It appears as white crystalline flakes with a distinct odor and is highly volatile and combustible. Naphthalene serves as a crucial intermediate in the production of phthalic anhydride, which is widely used in resins, plasticizers, and dyes. Additionally, it is employed in moth repellents, construction chemicals such as naphthalene sulfonates for concrete admixtures, and in the synthesis of various agrochemicals. Its strong chemical reactivity, low solubility in water, and ability to form derivatives make it valuable across multiple industries, from textiles to plastics, enhancing its role as a versatile industrial chemical.
