Global Best Chemical & Petrochemicals Data Base, Chemical Prices

Methanol prices declined across every major region in the latest quarter, as abundant supply, weak downstream demand and the fading of conflict-driven risk premiums pushed the methanol price index lower from Asia-Pacific to the Americas. According to ChemAnalyst Methanol Price: - https://www.chemanalyst.com/Pricing-data/methanol-1 Methanol Price Overview:  Methanol is a core industrial chemical used in formaldehyde, acetic acid, MTBE, olefins (methanol-to-olefins, or MTO) and, increasingly, marine and energy applications. Because of its broad use, methanol prices respond quickly to changes in energy costs, trade flows, plant operating rates and industrial demand. Key takeaways from the methanol price chart data: Every tracked region recorded a double-digit or near-double-digit decline. France saw the steepest drop (-18.97%), as the conflict-driven premium unwound. Brazil recorded the smallest decline (-7.36%) but remains the highest-priced market at USD 529.00/MT.

The global Methanol Price market recorded a sharp increase during the second quarter of 2026, with prices rising across major markets in North America, South America, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Europe, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA). The upward movement was primarily associated with supply disruptions, export constraints, elevated import parity, and stronger international trade flows. According to ChemAnalyst Methanol Price: - https://www.chemanalyst.com/Pricing-data/methanol-1 Methanol is a critical chemical feedstock used in formaldehyde, acetic acid, solvents, methylamines, fuel blending, and a range of downstream chemical applications. Because the global methanol market depends heavily on international trade and large-scale production hubs, disruptions in major exporting regions can quickly influence prices across importing markets. During Q2 2026, the Methanol Price Index increased significantly in all major regions covered by the market assessment. The United States registered ...
