NTPC Green Energy tendered a water demineralisation plant for its planned 7GW green hydrogen-based chemicals hub in Andhra Pradesh. The project targets 2.5 million tonnes per year of hydrogen-based chemicals, adding substantial future green hydrogen supply and likely easing price pressure.
Japan's METI granted a $3 billion CfD subsidy to ACME-IHI for 228,000 t/y green ammonia exports from India starting 2030. The program reduces price risk for producers and secures offtake by Japanese users, encouraging low-carbon ammonia production and likely stabilizing green ammonia prices in the long run.
Ethylamine is a colourless, flammable gas with a sharp, ammonia-like odour that serves as a versatile building block across the chemical industry, feeding into pesticides, rubber-processing chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, dyes, pigments, resins, and corrosion inhibitors. As it is synthesised from ammonia and acetaldehyde over a hydrogenation catalyst, its cost base stays tightly linked to these upstream feedstocks and the wider natural gas complex.
Through the first half of 2026, ethylamine prices traced a largely steady-to-soft path. Ammonia feedstock economics remained comparatively balanced as natural gas availability eased, keeping production costs in check and limiting upward momentum. Asian material continued to anchor global sentiment, holding broadly stable as ample regional output met measured buying, while European prices carried a modest premium on firmer energy costs and cautious operating rates. North American values moved in sympathy with the broader trend, lent occasional support by logistics frictions but capped by unremarkable end-use pull.
Downstream demand offered little impetus for a decisive move. Agrochemical offtake followed familiar seasonal sowing rhythms, pharmaceutical and rubber-chemical consumption stayed resilient but unspectacular, and buyers largely procured to near-term needs rather than building inventory. With feedstock costs subdued and supply comfortable, the market stayed range-bound for much of the period.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, ethylamine prices are expected to remain range-bound to soft in the coming quarters, with direction hinging on ammonia and acetaldehyde feedstock movements and the pace of recovery in agrochemical and pharmaceutical demand.

Ethylamine market prices are heavily influenced by the dynamics of its primary feedstock, ammonia, and acetaldehyde, across various global regions. In Asia, despite an initial price drop in January due to oversupply, the prices mildly recovered later in the quarter.
This recovery was catalyzed by disruptions in global transportation—stemming from conflicts in Europe and the Middle East and Houthi attacks in the Red Sea—which strained supply chains and pushed up oil prices, indirectly affecting the costs of various commodities, including ethylamine. However, the price movement still largely remained confined. The difficult offshore trade situations were consistently constricting the profit margins for supplies, and after that point, prices bottomed out. Suppliers started hoarding products to prevent further losses since the upstream costs were rising.
In Europe, the scenario was somewhat bleaker with a feeble start in January as subdued domestic consumption drove prices downwards. The situation was exacerbated by Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, which damaged the region's energy infrastructure and complicated the upstream supply situation, leading to fluctuating prices throughout the quarter.
The situation was not much different in American markets as well. The ethylamine market mirrored Asia's with a steady yet modest performance, as weak end-user consumption capped any significant price movements. Rising production costs provided some upward momentum, but this was largely offset by geopolitical tensions affecting industrial and trade activities, leading to mixed market sentiments and subdued international orders. Across all regions, the first quarter marked a period of constrained market dynamics and cautious supplier and consumer behavior.
Ethylamine is a colorless, flammable gas with a strong ammonia-like odor, commonly used in chemical synthesis. It serves as a building block in the production of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and rubber chemicals. Ethylamine is also involved in making dyes, pigments, and resins. Its properties make it valuable as a solvent and a corrosion inhibitor. Due to its reactive nature, ethylamine must be handled with care, including appropriate safety measures to manage its flammability and potential health risks.

The production process is initialized with the chemical combination of acetaldehyde, ammonia, and hydrogen. The reaction is carried out in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst that results in the formation of the resultant, i.e., ethylamine. The combination of the three base ingredients, in varying conditions, results in the production of mono-, di-, and triethylamine.
