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.

Asia
In China, Pyridine prices increased from ~USD 2,844/MT in May to approx. USD 2,900/MT (FOB) in June, marking a ~2% increase in the last two months of the H1’26. The market entered H1 with excess supply and cautious purchasing, keeping prices under pressure during the first quarter. Conditions improved as specialty-chemical volumes recovered and agrochemical activity strengthened during the spring planting season. Export demand also became more supportive as geopolitical uncertainty encouraged some international buyers to replenish inventories. Upstream costs added further pressure later in the period, particularly as disruptions to Middle Eastern methanol and ammonia supply tightened feedstock availability. In India, Pyridine prices rose from around USD 2,911/MT in May to ~USD 2,988/MT (CIF) in June, reflecting a ~3% increase. Earlier weakness from the global supply-demand imbalance gradually eased as specialty-chemical volumes recovered. Firmer domestic agrochemical activity and higher upstream costs provided additional support, while logistics disruptions kept export conditions more cautious.
Europe
Germany recorded average Pyridine prices of about USD 2,937/MT in May and ~USD 3,022/MT (CIF) in June, a ~3% increase. European markets faced higher imported-feedstock and energy costs as Middle East disruptions affected chemical trade routes. Demand remained uneven because of weak industrial conditions and cautious agrochemical purchasing, but improving supply-cost dynamics supported firmer market conditions. Changes in the European herbicide market, including reduced paraquat production, added some pressure to one important pyridine-consuming application, but broader agrochemical demand remained the more relevant market factor.
North America
In H1’26, North American Pyridine markets were influenced by import dependence, upstream cost movements and uneven agrochemical demand. Higher methanol and chemical logistics costs increased landed-cost pressure, while regulatory scrutiny of certain herbicide applications created some uncertainty for downstream consumption. However, this was only one factor within the wider agrochemical market, and pyridine demand remained linked to several applications rather than a single product.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, Pyridine prices are likely to remain sensitive to methanol availability, Chinese supply conditions and agrochemical purchasing.

Asia
In Asia, pyridine prices remained under pressure during the earlier part of 2025 as the agrochemical industry continued working through the inventory correction from the previous year. Chinese supply remained a major factor, keeping competition high and limiting producers’ ability to raise prices quickly. India remained an important consuming and importing market, with China continuing to account for a major share of Indian pyridine imports. At the same time, improving demand from agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals gradually supported purchasing activity. Jubilant Ingrevia reported that its pyridine and picoline portfolio recorded strong growth in FY2025, supported by demand recovery and improved pricing in selected molecules. Its broader Specialty Chemicals segment also benefited from higher capacity utilisation and stronger product volumes.
Europe
In Europe, pyridine demand remained closely linked to pharmaceutical and agrochemical manufacturing, while the broader chemical industry faced weak industrial conditions and competitive pressure from Asian supply. Import availability limited upward pricing momentum, particularly when downstream buyers adopted cautious procurement-strategies. The European market also became increasingly dependent on external sources for pyridine-related compounds. EU trade data for the broader CN 293339 pyridine-compound category showed that imports from China and India strengthened considerably over the longer term, reflecting the growing role of Asian suppliers in European chemical supply chains.
North America
In North America, pharmaceutical, agrochemical and specialty-chemical applications supported pyridine consumption, while domestic supply remained structurally limited. The closure of a competing US pyridine facility created an opportunity for alternative suppliers, with Jubilant Ingrevia reporting strong North American sales growth and capturing additional volumes following the competitor’s closure. However, the wider market remained sensitive to import availability, downstream inventory levels and feedstock economics.
Pyridine is an organic compound made up of one nitrogen atom and five carbon atoms in a heterocyclic ring. It is a combustible, white liquid with a strong, acrid smell. In coordination chemistry, pyridine is a useful ligand since it is a weak basic. In chemical reactions, it functions as a flexible solvent and reagent as well. Because of this, pyridine is used in the synthesis of agrochemicals, specialty chemicals, and medicines. It can also participate in a wide range of reactions.

In this method, pyridine is extracted from various other chemicals of coal tar by fractional distillation. The production of pyridine from coal tar is carried out under controlled conditions. Pyridine first vaporizes in the distillation tower, and when the temperature reaches its boiling point, it condenses back to a liquid state and is finally separated from the other components of coal.
In this process, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde react in the presence of an excess solution of ammonia and a suitable catalyst under controlled conditions. Further, the reactants undergo a sequence of condensation processes to give pyridine as the end product.
