Hexamethylenediamine Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

Hexamethylenediamine prices exhibited mixed patterns during the first half of 2023. As the Chinese industries were still recovering from inflation, the demands from downstream fibre and lubricant industries were still very low. In India, the high inventory levels amidst dull demands were not able to provide any substantial cost support. Hence, the price trend for Hexamethylenediamine remained in a slump in the Asia-Pacific region throughout the said period.

However, in the western regions of Europe and America, high inflation dominated the first quarter, and as the commodity prices rose in general, Hexamethylenediamine prices also rode high during Q1. But as the quarters shifted, the momentum also shifted around Hexamethylenediamine prices. With constantly rising inventories, the demands didn’t grow much, and the price trend turned south during the second quarter. Overall, a low swinging price trend was observed, and the market sentiments for Hexamethylenediamine were dull throughout H1’23.
