Northeast Asia: The downturn was mainly attributed to weaker demand from polyurethane coatings and plasticizer sectors in China, compounded by high domestic stock levels due to sustained plant run rates. Additionally, export demand remained sluggish as European and North American buyers secured local supplies. Currency depreciation of the Japanese yen and South Korean won against the USD further increased import costs for raw materials, pressuring margins.
Europe: The market was supported by steady downstream demand from the alkyd resin and synthetic lubricant sectors, particularly in Germany and Italy. However, higher natural gas and electricity tariffs in the EU continued to inflate production costs, with feedstock neo-pentyl glycol (NPG) availability also tightening due to scheduled plant maintenance. Import flows from Asia remained limited because of competitive shipping rates and weak arbitrage opportunities. Additionally, stricter EU regulatory compliance costs around chemical handling added to regional production overheads, keeping European market sentiment firm despite global softness.
North America: The reduction stemmed from softer demand from construction coatings and automotive resins amid slowing housing starts and weaker vehicle production in the US and Canada. On the supply side, Gulf Coast producers operated at stable rates, though elevated freight costs continued to weigh on domestic logistics. Currency strength of the US dollar against trading partners reduced the competitiveness of exports, resulting in higher inventories. While energy input costs were relatively stable, higher inland transportation tariffs pushed producers to adopt modest discounts to secure downstream offtakes.

The global trimethylolpropane (TMP) industry size reached USD 655.00 Million in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 940.4 Million, at a projected CAGR of 3.90% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the rising demand for TMP in polyurethane coatings, lubricants, and alkyd resins, growing adoption in automotive and construction industries, and increasing applications in high-performance polymers.
Trimethylolpropane (TMP) is a colorless, crystalline polyol belonging to the alcohol family, produced via the aldol reaction of butyraldehyde and formaldehyde followed by hydrogenation. Its unique tri-functional hydroxyl groups make it a critical intermediate in the synthesis of polyurethanes, alkyd resins, and synthetic lubricants. TMP is widely consumed in the coatings industry, where it enhances durability, chemical resistance, and gloss retention of resins. In lubricants, TMP esters improve thermal stability and oxidation resistance, particularly in high-performance engine oils and aviation applications. Its versatile functionality ensures TMP’s key role in the global specialty chemicals and performance materials value chain.
