Methyl N-Amyl Ketone (MAK) Prices Index: Trend, Chart, News, Graph, Demand, Forecast

In the first quarter of 2025, the North AmericanMethyl N-Amyl Ketone market experienced a gradually stabilizing price trend. January began with bullish momentum as FOB Louisiana prices climbed by 4.2% to USD 4400 per metric ton, driven by constrained feedstock availability and an uptick in industrial production. February introduced fresh challenges with logistical bottlenecks resulting from an Arctic Blast and port congestion, which again nudged prices higher by a modest 2.3%. Despite geopolitical tensions surrounding potential tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, the market avoided major cost shocks, allowing overall fundamentals to remain balanced.

Demand patterns diverged notably during the quarter; the cosmetics industry continued to underpin MAK consumption, especially in fragrance formulations and clean beauty products, while the paints and coatings sector faced persistent headwinds due to sluggish housing activity and restructuring efforts by industry leaders such as Sherwin-Williams and PPG. By March, pricing trends reflected early-quarter gains followed by relative stability, as steady cosmetics sector demand and improving supply chains were counterbalanced by soft consumption from industrial coatings manufacturers.

Across the Asia-Pacific region, the Methyl N-Amyl Ketone market exhibited a mixed performance throughout the first quarter of 2025. The quarter opened with strong bullish sentiment in January, fueled by tight supply stemming from limited availability of feedstock Butylene and reduced export volumes, which propelled CFR JNPT prices upward by 6.6%. Robust demand from cosmetics and automotive applications, especially in India, exerted further upward pressure on prices during the early weeks of the quarter. However, February witnessed a shift in dynamics as Arctic weather conditions in the U.S. disrupted production and led to port congestion, restricting export flows and reducing imports into India.

Despite these headwinds, consistent demand from the cosmetics and coatings industries helped preserve market stability. As March progressed, a partial recovery in U.S. supply chains and the normalization of logistics costs allowed prices to correct slightly, declining by 2.09%. Nevertheless, resilient downstream demand in India’s rapidly growing beauty, coatings, and infrastructure markets cushioned against sharper price declines, while favorable exchange rates and optimized import costs supported a balanced supply-demand environment. Overall, the APAC market experienced a strong pricing surge in early Q1, followed by a gradual softening toward the end of the quarter as supply constraints eased and demand held steady across personal care, automotive, and coatings sectors.

In Europe, the Methyl N-Amyl Ketone market during the first quarter of 2025 displayed a similarly mixed pricing pattern, driven by shifting production costs, sector-specific demand fluctuations, and progressive recovery in logistics networks. January’s pricing was supported by firm crude oil markets and elevated energy costs typical of the winter season, which helped keep MAK prices buoyant. By February, as feedstock prices began to ease and transportation challenges abated, some regions experienced slight downward adjustments in pricing.

Demand varied notably across sectors; the automotive industry struggled under weak production volumes and cautious inventory strategies amid lingering economic uncertainties, while cosmetics and personal care applications maintained stable MAK usage, bolstered by strong e-commerce sales and sustained demand for premium, fragrance-rich, and sustainable formulations. Moving into March, market pricing largely stabilized as suppliers chose a rollover strategy, reflecting an absence of significant cost or demand shifts to justify aggressive price adjustments. Weakness in industrial coatings demand was effectively balanced by continued strength in consumer-facing segments, including personal care and specialty chemicals. Collectively, the European MAK market showcased a nuanced balance between bullish and bearish influences during Q1 2025, maintaining overall resilience despite persistent macroeconomic headwinds and sector-specific challenges.
