North America Naphtha Prices Movement Q2

Naphtha Prices in United States:

In Q2 2025, US Naphtha Prices reached 3,310 USD/MT in June, shaped by cost fluctuations in PTA and 1,4-butanediol. Refinery operations, maintenance activities, and shipping delays constrained supply, while steady automotive and electrical demand, trucking shortages, and Asian import congestion added complexity to inventory management and pricing dynamics.

Naphtha Prices in China:

In Q2 2025, naphtha prices in China fell to 1055 USD/MT in June, driven by weak demand from the olefins sector, particularly ethylene and propylene. Elevated inventory levels and moderate import volumes from the Middle East further pressured the market, contributing to the steady downward pricing trend.

Naphtha Prices in Japan:

In Q2 2025, Japan’s naphtha prices settled at 595 USD/MT in June, remaining subdued amid weaker industrial activity and reduced ethylene cracker operations. Additional pressure came from competitively priced imports, which intensified market weakness and limited domestic price recovery, keeping overall sentiment bearish throughout the quarter.

Europe Naphtha Prices Movement Q2:

Naphtha Prices in Germany:

In Q2 2025, Germany’s Naphtha prices stood at 4,745 USD/MT in June, driven by high energy and feedstock costs. Strong demand from automotive and industrial sectors required careful procurement, while Asian imports faced delays. Regulatory compliance and elevated operating expenses further influenced production, supply, and overall market dynamics.

Factors Affecting Naphtha Supply and Prices

Supply-Side Factors

  1. Feedstock Availability – PBT relies on purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and 1,4-butanediol (BDO); fluctuations in their availability and costs directly impact production economics.
  2. Energy and Operating Costs – High electricity, fuel, and plant maintenance expenses increase production costs, particularly in energy-intensive regions.
  3. Import Dependence & Logistics – Heavy reliance on imports in several regions exposes markets to shipping delays, port congestion, and freight rate volatility.
  4. Regulatory & Environmental Policies – Compliance with emissions, waste treatment, and energy efficiency standards raises production and handling costs.

Demand-Side Factors

  1. Automotive Sector Growth – Expanding use of PBT in lightweight components, connectors, and under-the-hood parts boosts demand.
  2. Electronics & Appliances – Strong utilization in electrical connectors, housings, and consumer appliances drives consistent consumption.
  3. Textile & Industrial Applications – Niche demand from textiles and industrial sectors adds to overall market pull.
  4. Global Trade & Currency Trends – Exchange rate fluctuations and shifting trade duties influence import costs and purchasing decisions.
