Copper smelters are relying on by-product sulfuric acid revenues to offset losses from negative concentrate treatment charges. Strong acid prices are supporting smelter profitability, with prices remaining elevated. The trend underscores the key role of sulfuric acid in smelter economics and suggests continued price strength.
Asia
Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) prices in China remained nearly stable at ~RMB 15.73/kg in the first two months of Q2’26. The market received early support from higher production costs and export activity but weakened later as domestic supply increased and buyers reduced purchases. Meanwhile, Yulong Petrochemical started production from its new 100,000-tonne-per-year MMA unit in early April, increasing domestic availability and adding pressure on spot prices. Feedstock support weakened as acetone prices declined due to higher phenol-ketone operating rates, increased imports and rising inventories. Lower MMA profitability led some producers to reduce operating rates and conduct maintenance, limiting excess supply. Downstream demand remained mixed, with PMMA sheet exports increasing in the later part of the quarter, but domestic buyers continued purchasing mainly for immediate requirements.
Europe
Methyl Methacrylate prices in Germany remained stable at ~EUR 2.07/kg in April and the following month. European markets were initially supported by tighter prompt supply, but buying activity slowed after customers completed inventory coverage. Expected availability of additional imports reduced supply concerns and limited further price increases. Weak MMA consumption and lower spot activity restricted producers’ ability to pass through higher raw material costs. Automotive demand provided partial support, with higher vehicle registrations supporting PMMA applications in lighting, coatings and automotive components.
North America
Methyl Methacrylate prices in the United States increased to ~USD 2,391.13/MT in April and ~USD 2,444.12/MT in the subsequent month, showing a ~2.2% increase. The market received support from steady downstream demand and temporary supply adjustments, although increased domestic availability limited stronger price gains. Meanwhile, Röhm’s Bay City, Texas facility reached full industrial-scale operation with 250,000 tonnes per year of MMA capacity, improving regional supply availability. Along with this, demand from construction materials and automotive applications supported consumption, with higher production activity in construction supplies and motor vehicle components.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the near-term, MMA prices are expected to remain stable as new capacity improves supply availability, while demand recovery in automotive, construction and acrylic applications will determine further movements.

Asia
In Asia, methyl methacrylate prices strengthened through the quarter, particularly in March. In China, the market was initially stable due to sufficient port inventories and weak pre-holiday demand, but later turned firm as the Iran war disrupted imports through the Strait of Hormuz, tightening feedstock availability and raising production costs. This supply pressure reduced spot availability and supported price increases. Downstream demand from acrylic sheets, coatings, and construction materials improved after the Spring Festival, supporting the upward trend. In India, the market also moved upward as uncertain cargo arrivals from the Middle East reduced supply visibility. Buyers shifted to alternative sourcing and maintained essential procurement, while demand from paints, coatings, and automotive components remained steady.
Europe
In Europe, methyl methacrylate prices increased due to higher production and logistics costs. Supply tightened as shipping disruptions and higher freight rates linked to the Middle East crisis affected feedstock availability. Producers raised offers to reflect increased costs, while buyers increased procurement activity toward the end of the quarter. Demand from construction panels, coatings, and adhesives remained stable, supporting the firm trend.
North America
In North America, prices followed a firm trend, supported by global supply constraints rather than domestic shortages. Reduced global availability due to disrupted trade flows supported exports from the region. Demand from the automotive, electronics, and construction sectors remained moderate, with buyers focusing on short-term procurement strategies.
Methyl Methacrylate is the methyl ester of methacrylic acid. Methyl methacrylate is a reactive resin that is utilised in dentistry, orthopaedic surgery, and ophthalmology as cement in its polymerized form. The liquid has a clear, colourless appearance. Water-soluble to a little extent and afloat. heavier than air vapours. The respiratory system and eyes become irritated by vapours. This drug's monomer form has a relaxing impact on smooth muscle throughout the body, which may be due to a nitric oxide-mediated reaction.

This procedure starts with the oxidation of t-butanol to create metacrolein, which is then further oxidised to create methacrylic acid. Finally, methyl methacrylate is created by esterifying the generated methacrylic acid with methanol.
