Asia
In China, the average price of PA66 (Nylon 66) slipped from ~USD 2,688.00/MT (EXW) in July to ~USD 2,663.00/MT in August, a decline of ~0.9%. South East Asia edged up about 0.6%, from ~USD 3,090.00/MT (EXW) to ~USD 3,110.00/MT. Chinese prices had risen earlier in the year as hexamethylenediamine stayed tight, but large capacity additions over the past two years left the market well supplied, and those gains could not hold. While PA6 chips rose sharply in late August, PA66 chips moved up only slightly, showing limited pricing power. Sellers lowered offers to keep volumes moving, while South East Asian values held almost steady as higher costs were balanced by competition from Chinese material.
Europe
In Europe, PA66 averaged approximately USD 6,572.00/MT (EXW) in July and rose to about USD 6,669.00/MT in August, an increase of ~1.5%. Higher energy and feedstock costs linked to the Middle East conflict supported producers' offers. The industry also continued to restructure, as Lone Star acquired Radici's PA66 facility amid wider closures and insolvencies in the polyamide chain. However, weak demand through the first half limited the scale of increases.
North America
In the USA, average PA66 prices rose from nearly USD 2,900.00/MT (EXW) in July to roughly USD 2,990.00/MT in August, up ~3.1%. Celanese raised engineered materials pricing by 6% quarter on quarter in Q2 and completed the optimisation of its nylon 6,6 production network ahead of schedule, tightening domestic supply. BASF also raised prices on PA6,66 copolyamide from September and October. Flat regional demand kept gains moderate.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, PA66 is set to trade in a narrow band in the coming months, with cost-driven firmness in Western markets offset by surplus Chinese supply and lacklustre downstream orders.

Asia
In China, the average PA66 price was ~USD 2,620/MT in April and ~USD 2,372/MT in June, showing a decline of around 9%. India saw average PA66 prices decrease from ~USD 2,670/MT in April to ~USD 2,460/MT in June, a fall of nearly 8%. Asian PA66 markets strengthened sharply early in Q2 as tight HMDA availability and elevated adipic acid costs increased resin production expenses. The situation reversed through May and June as additional HMDA capacity entered operation and feedstock availability improved. At the same time, weaker textile, automotive and engineering-plastics demand led converters to limit inventories. Greater resin availability and falling production costs therefore pushed the market steadily lower toward quarter-end.
Europe
European PA66 markets remained comparatively firm during April as higher energy, freight and feedstock expenses lifted production costs. Adipic acid availability became an important factor after the European Commission imposed anti-dumping duties of 29.1%-42.3% on Chinese adipic acid in May. The measure restricted access to competitively priced imported feedstock and supported European replacement costs. However, weak automotive, textile and industrial demand prevented producers from fully passing these expenses downstream. As buyers maintained need-based purchasing and resisted additional increases, the market became more balanced during May and June despite the structurally higher regional cost base.
North America
In the USA, the average price moved from ~USD 2,707/MT in April to ~USD 2,527/MT in June, marking a decrease of about 7%. North American PA66 conditions softened as weak downstream purchasing outweighed higher manufacturing costs. Automotive and industrial users maintained cautious inventories, while improving global feedstock availability reduced concerns over replacement supply. Broader resin production costs remained elevated during May, but this was insufficient to sustain earlier PA66 values as demand remained restrained. Buyers therefore gained greater negotiating leverage through the latter part of the quarter.
PA66 (Nylon 66) is a member of polyamide or nylon family. It is one of the most common types of nylons that is utilised in textile and plastic industries. Nylon 66 is called so because it is produced from two monomers, namely, hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid, and each contains 6 carbon atoms. It has a lower moisture absorption frequency than PA6. Nylon 66 is known for its high mechanical strength, rigidity, good stability under heat and/or chemical resistance.

In order to produce PA66 (Nylon 66), polycondensation of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid is carried out to form nylon salt. The obtained nylon salt is polymerised either in batches or continuously to finally produce PA66 (Nylon 66).
