Methyl Acrylate Price Trend and Forecast
Regional Price Overview
Get the latest insights on price movement and trend analysis of Methyl Acrylate in different regions across the world (Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa).
For the First Half of 2022
Asia
The market for Methyl Acrylate displayed overall stability during the first quarter of 2022 because of adequate supply and moderate offtakes from the downstream industries. Despite a sharp increase in upstream crude prices, Methyl Acrylate prices slightly increased during the first quarter.
In Q2 2022, the Asian market for Methyl Acrylate experienced a mixed market attitude, with prices increasing in the first part of the quarter and essentially declining in the second. Moreover, the product's demand dynamics remained subdued throughout this period, despite a significant drop in raw material prices across Asia, particularly in China in June 2022.
Europe
The crisis between Russia and Ukraine during the first quarter of 2022 has affected Europe's general market dynamics. Major acrylate producers like Röhm GmbH announced price changes for their acrylates as a result of rising raw material costs backed by spiking natural gas prices.
According to market research, methyl acrylate price rose during the first two months of Q2 2022 as a result of high input prices and stagnant downstream niche buyer offtakes. However, the price of methyl acrylate fell in June 2022 following a period of sustained firmness at the beginning of the year.
North America
Methyl Acrylate’s price trends increased steadily throughout the first quarter in North America owing to the high prices of upstream acrylic acid. The worldwide economic rebound and seasonal demand supported the general increase in upstream acrylic acid pricing in the United States during Q1 2022.
The methyl acrylate market remained unchanged throughout the second quarter of 2022, although prices grew significantly, mostly due to inflation in the local market. In addition, after steadily increasing for the first two months, prices started to fall by the end of the quarter.
