  Cyclohexanone , a vital industrial solvent and chemical intermediate, is primarily used in the production of nylon, adipic acid, caprolactam, and various coatings, adhesives, and resins. Its pricing is highly sensitive to changes in raw material availability, crude oil derivatives, and regional manufacturing capacities. In 2025, the global Cyclohexanone market has seen periods of both upward and downward price adjustments, reflecting the ongoing volatility in the petrochemical sector. Prices in North America and Europe have generally trended downward in the second quarter, influenced by moderate demand from downstream industries and an ample supply of feedstock chemicals. However, some short-term upward corrections were noted due to temporary supply disruptions and logistics challenges. Asia-Pacific, being a major production hub, experienced similar trends with regional fluctuations driven by local regulatory changes, energy costs, and trade dynamics. China's market, in particula...

During the first quarter of 2025, the global Cyclohexanone market experienced a mixed trend, shaped by a complex interplay of fluctuating raw material costs, downstream demand variations, regional supply disruptions, and macroeconomic influences. Cyclohexanone, a key intermediate in the production of caprolactam and adipic acid—both of which are vital for manufacturing nylon and other polymers—witnessed uneven pricing patterns across major markets, including North America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. These fluctuations were largely driven by changes in the prices of feedstocks like benzene and cyclohexane, along with shifts in demand from key industries such as textiles, coatings, automotive, and plastics. In North America, Cyclohexanone prices displayed volatility throughout the quarter. January began on a steady note as the market maintained a balance between supply and demand, with downstream sectors like caprolactam and adipic acid showing stable consumption. However, mid-January saw...
