During the second quarter of 2025, the polyetherimide (PEI) prices in the USA reached 11.74 USD/KG in June. As per the polyetherimide (PEI) price chart, prices were influenced by several overlapping market forces. Raw-material costs remained firm, with higher feedstock and energy prices putting pressure on producers. These upstream costs were difficult to absorb, and much of the burden passed through to resin buyers. Supply chain inefficiencies, particularly in global shipping, added to the cost of securing material and lengthened lead times.
During the second quarter of 2025, the polyetherimide (PEI) prices in China reached 9.57 USD/KG in June. Supply‑side pressures came from elevated feedstock expenses and production bottlenecks, tightening overall availability. Sources noted raw material cost pressures remained stubborn, shaping a higher cost backdrop even as buying faded. On the demand front, interest from electronics and automotive makers cooled as buyers held off on orders amid uncertain consumption trends and higher inventoried volumes.
During the second quarter of 2025, polyetherimide (PEI) prices in the Netherlands reached 12.58 USD/KG in June. Production constraints in key supplier regions resulted in limited availability, and Dutch buyers had to absorb higher costs tied to transportation and supply risks. On top of that, industry demand from sectors like aerospace and electronics remained firm, which kept upward pressure on prices even as supply stayed restricted. Environmental and trade regulations in Europe added another layer, increasing compliance costs and logistical challenges, which filtered through to end‑user pricing.
During the second quarter of 2025, the polyetherimide (PEI) prices in Japan reached 9.45 USD/KG in June. Japanese PEI prices reflected persistent feedstock pressures as bisphenol A and nitrobenzene remained costly due to production limits and high energy costs in key regions. Supply chain hiccups in Asia, especially in shipments from neighboring hubs, disrupted smooth delivery. At the same time, strong domestic need from the electronics, automotive, and aerospace kept consumption steady.
During the second quarter of 2025, the polyetherimide (PEI) prices in Saudi Arabia reached 11.04 USD/KG in June. Limited regional production meant most supply had to come from abroad, exposing buyers to global supply chain disruptions and elevated raw material feed prices. Energy and logistical costs remained high, and while that provided some cushioning to margins, it also added to end-user pricing pressure. Geopolitical and trade factors in the Middle East further complicated access, feeding into the local price structure.

Q3 2025:
As per the polyetherimide price index, Europe recorded upward pricing this quarter, reflecting the increase observed in the Netherlands, the region’s represented market. Demand from aerospace, high-performance electronics, and engineered components advanced across several industrial clusters. Inland transportation schedules influenced product movement toward Western and Central European hubs. Producers operated on consistent run rates while monitoring feedstock conditions, and buyers synchronized replenishment with ongoing project-based requirements.
Q2 2025:
In Q2 2025, PEI prices in Europe were shaped by tight environmental rules, competition, and imbalances in trade. The region’s strict regulatory environment nudged up production costs, as compliance with greener standards often requires upgrades in manufacturing that suppliers pass on. Besides, freight costs and duties pushed prices upward, especially when global supply was already tight. Global tensions around supply chains and energy added pressure, making upstream feedstock more expensive. These combined forces created a tilt toward higher prices, especially for markets reliant on imported PEI.

Q3 2025:
As per the polyetherimide price index, North America registered downward pricing in alignment with the decline in the United States. Demand from high-end automotive, industrial electronics, and specialty molding applications moderated. Distribution networks leveraged dependable rail and trucking performance to streamline inventories. Producers maintained regular operations, and procurement activity centered on aligning contract volumes with trimmed downstream utilization rates.
Q2 2025:
Prices in North America were influenced by its own production capacity, trade dynamics, and upstream cost pressures. When local facilities had limited output or faced feedstock supply hiccups, reliance on imports increased, putting upward pressure on prices. At the same time, lingering raw‑material cost pressure, especially for essential ingredients like bisphenol A and nitrobenzene driven by energy cost volatility, fed into manufacturer costs. Supply chain disruptions, notably in shipments from Asia, added to uncertainty. In industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics, demand remained strong, amplifying sensitivity to these cost swings.

Q3 2025:
Regional pricing movements were reflected by Saudi Arabia, where prices moved lower this quarter. Demand from engineered plastics, electrical insulation, and specialty molding sectors varied across local and regional industries. Export scheduling from Gulf producers shaped short-term availability, and material flow into African destinations depended on port handling efficiency and inland transport reliability. Buyers matched procurement cycles to operational needs across manufacturing segments.
Q2 2025:
Prices across the Middle East and Africa hinged on industrial development, resource availability, and geopolitical tensions. Growing industrial sectors drove demand in some markets, but disruptions in raw materials and transport created spot price volatility. Resource availability, including petrochemical feedstocks, varied widely, causing some producers to face supply shortages that pushed prices upward. Geopolitical frictions in the region, which can affect trade routes and shipping stability, added another layer of unpredictability.
