Higher domestic sugar prices and a 24% rise in ethanol sales volumes in Q2 FY27 boosted margins for DCM Shriram’s ethanol business. The combination of tighter sugar input costs and stronger demand is expected to lift ethanol prices.

Asia
In China, the average price of Ethyl Acrylate was ~USD 1,312/MT in June. The quarter began with elevated feedstock costs still reflecting the earlier disruption to Middle Eastern naphtha supplies, but acrylic acid subsequently moved lower as cost support weakened and supply-demand conditions loosened. Demand from downstream acrylic acid derivatives remained subdued, with operating rates declining amid limited end-market orders and cautious purchasing. The broader propylene chain also faced disruption earlier in the year as Asian crackers reduced operations following tighter naphtha availability. By June, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and weaker crude costs removed much of the remaining cost support, keeping the market under pressure.
Europe
In Germany, June average prices for Ethyl Acrylate came to ~USD 1,433/MT. European markets followed the broader feedstock correction as naphtha-fed crackers faced earlier supply disruption before cost pressure eased later in the quarter. Softer acrylic acid and propylene economics reduced production-cost support, while demand from coatings, adhesives and construction-linked applications remained restrained. Buyers continued to adopt cautious procurement strategies, limiting the scope for suppliers to pass through higher costs. The easing of crude-related pressure in June further reinforced the downward direction.
North America
In the USA, Ethyl Acrylate settled at ~USD 1,467/MT in June. The region was less directly exposed to the Middle Eastern naphtha disruption because of its greater reliance on domestic propylene supply routes. Nevertheless, the global crude correction weakened feedstock support across the chain. Downstream demand remained selective, with softer industrial and construction-related activity limiting buying momentum. More balanced domestic availability also reduced the scope for supply-driven increases.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, Ethyl Acrylate is likely to remain sensitive to propylene and acrylic acid movements, while weak downstream orders may limit upward momentum despite potential supply adjustments.

Asia
In Asia, ethyl acrylate prices moved firm in Q1 2026 as upstream acrylic acid and propylene costs rose sharply after Middle East tensions affected crude-linked chemical markets. Regional producers faced higher production costs, while buyers remained cautious at elevated levels. The impact was strongest in China, where ethyl acrylate sentiment was supported by higher acrylic acid, ethanol, and propylene values. Downstream coatings, adhesives, textile auxiliaries, and emulsion polymer demand stayed steady but did not create aggressive restocking.
Europe
In Europe, ethyl acrylate prices showed a mixed-to-firm trend. The market remained demand-sensitive because construction-linked coatings, adhesives, and acrylate applications were still weak. However, import replacement costs increased as Middle East shipping slowed and security-related freight costs rose. Route uncertainty after the Strait of Hormuz disruption raised landed-cost pressure for imported solvents and acrylates, keeping suppliers cautious even when downstream buying stayed selective.
North America
In North America, ethyl acrylate prices remained comparatively balanced but firmed through logistics and feedstock-cost pressure. Domestic supply helped reduce direct exposure to import disruption, while weak housing and construction activity limited stronger acrylate demand. Still, global supply-chain risk supported cautious procurement. Middle East petrochemical assets at risk represented 32.0% of regional olefin supply, which kept propylene linked markets sensitive. US Gulf Coast chemical container exports rose 12.0% in March, with 20.0% surge capacity available, supporting logistics flexibility.
Ethyl acrylate, more commonly known as the ethyl ester of acrylic acid, is a colorless liquid with a sharp, unpleasant odor. It is less dense than water and may polymerize violently (exothermically) if heated or contaminated. It is a naturally occurring volatile component in pineapple, Beaufort cheese, and vanilla as volatile components. It can also be manufactured industrially via several processes. It is used as an intermediate in the manufacturing of various pharmaceutical compounds. Ethyl acrylate is often used as a flavoring agent in plastics, resins, etc.

The production of ethyl acrylate is carried out via the esterification of acrylic acid and ethanol. It is carried out using an in-situ reactor where the feedstocks are added with the acid catalyst. A mixture containing ethyl acrylate, ethanol, acrylic acid, water, and acid catalyst is obtained upon the reaction. This mixture is carried to an ester distillation column where the products are separated. The desired ethyl acrylate is condensed, whereas the other unspent feedstock is sent to the reaction mixture again.
