During the third quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins prices in Canada reached 2400 USD/MT in September. The pricing setback was influenced by a softening in demand for adhesives and sealants in packaging applications, as end-user industries slowed investments. On the supply front, producers encountered higher rail and trucking costs amid infrastructure maintenance, which cut into margins.
During the third quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins prices in China reached 1095 USD/MT in September. The downward movement was due to stable domestic production and a moderate construction market, which sustained baseline demand for resins in coatings and road-marking adhesives. Import parity pricing faced pressure from reduced export orders and intensifying domestic competition. While local logistics costs were moderate, currency stability of the yuan against the USD limited raw material cost volumes.
During the third quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins prices in Germany reached 2200 USD/MT in September. The pricing reduction occurred amid subdued automotive assembly output and weaker export demand for adhesive films, both of which underpin resin consumption. On the supply side, energy costs for resin manufacturing remained elevated, limiting producers’ willingness to cut base prices further. Import costs for specialty feedstock shifted higher due to euro weakness versus USD, adding cost pressure.
During the third quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins prices in France reached 2760 USD/MT in September. The drop in pricing was driven by slack demand in the industrial coatings segment and slower growth in packaging conversion sectors. On the supply end, spending on compliance with EU chemical-safety and sustainability standards, including recycled-content mandates added cost burdens.
During the third quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins prices in Japan reached 2700 USD/MT in September. The decline in pricing reflected weakened demand in the automotive coatings segment and moderate activity in the building and construction sector. On the supply side, relatively stable feedstock costs provided some relief, but logistic and port‐handling charges increased due to seasonal shipping congestion. Currency fluctuations, notably a stronger yen relative to the USD, slightly reduced import‐cost pressures.
During the second quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins prices in Canada reached 2455 USD/MT in June. Demand for packaging adhesives and tapes remained moderate, with slower capital investments in the consumer-goods segment. Feedstock cost pressures from crude oil-derived naphtha continued to ripple through manufacturing margins and limited pricing flexibility. Logistics costs climbed seasonally as rail lines underwent maintenance, increasing domestic transit expense.
During the second quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins prices in China reached 1114 USD/MT in June. End-use demand in construction coatings and printing inks held at moderate levels, but growth slowed as domestic infrastructure momentum cooled. On the supply side, abundant local feedstock mitigated sharp cost moves, but compliance costs from environmental inspections and product‐quality certifications increased.
During the second quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins prices in Germany reached 2235 USD/MT in June. The automotive and industrial coating markets faced weaker order intake, which weighed on resin demand. Production costs remained elevated owing to energy cost inflation and feedstock procurement challenges. Import freight surcharges and customs handling fees added cost burdens.
During the second quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins prices in France reached 2832 USD/MT in June. Market demand from the packaging, coatings and adhesives sectors remained cautious with delayed new project launches. Feedstock oil-downstream costs were volatile, prompting producers to maintain tighter margins. Certification and environmental compliance expenses increasingly influenced cost structures.
During the second quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins prices in Japan reached 2730 USD/MT in June. Consumption in automobile coatings and industrial adhesives was steady but lacked a strong growth impetus. Raw material costs from naphtha and aromatic streams were under pressure given global crude oil volatility. Production plants incurred higher utility and maintenance costs during seasonal turnaround activities. Logistic and port handling fees increased due to summer scheduling and tighter shipping slot availability.

Q3 2025:
In the third quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins price index in Europe reflected a moderate decline amid softening demand across automotive assembly and industrial coatings. Manufacturers faced elevated energy and feedstock expenses, limiting their ability to pass cost savings to buyers. Import complexity and customs duties increased effective landed cost, especially for niche resin grades. Additionally, stricter environmental regulations required incremental investment in low-VOC and recycled‐content formulations, increasing the production cost base.
Q2 2025:
In the second quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins price index in Europe was under pressure as slower automotive production and industrial coatings demand limited price stability. Feedstock and energy cost inflation persisted, challenging makers to maintain pricing. Logistic and customs handling fees increased across borders, raising the landed cost of imported specialty resins. Investment in low-VOC and recycled-content resin grades imposed additional cost burdens. Market participants responded with cautious contract pricing and limited upward adjustments, reflecting subdued end-market momentum.

Q3 2025:
In the third quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins price index in North America weakened as demand for adhesives and sealants moderated. Domestic producers contended with higher rail and road freight surcharges combined with seasonal logistic constraints, impacting cost structure. Raw material sourcing from naphtha derivatives saw modest relief, yet currency fluctuations and tariff uncertainties kept landed cost volatile.
Q2 2025:
In the second quarter of 2025, the petroleum resins price index in North America faced less demand from adhesives and packaging sectors. Transport and logistics cost escalated, especially rail transit charges, which added to producers’ cost base.
