Description

Explore the latest Melamine market insights and regional pricing developments for Q2 2026. The global Melamine market remained firm during the quarter, with prices across major importing and exporting regions supported by higher China-origin costs, steady downstream demand, supply adjustments, and ongoing geopolitical and freight uncertainties.

India recorded a particularly strong increase, with Melamine prices rising by approximately 24% on a CIF basis and 21% on an Ex-Mumbai basis compared with the previous quarter. Brazil registered the highest quarterly increase among the monitored markets at around 31%, while Vietnam, Australia, Turkey, Egypt, China, and the Netherlands also recorded notable gains.

Demand from laminates, adhesives, resins, molding compounds, and coating resins remained broadly stable, providing underlying support to the market. At the same time, geopolitical tensions involving Israel, the United States, and Iran, along with concerns surrounding the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, increased freight uncertainty and encouraged cautious procurement across several regions.

European markets also experienced upward price movements. The Netherlands recorded an increase of approximately 11%, while France saw higher import costs amid tighter regional supply conditions and changing trade flows. These developments demonstrate the impact of international logistics and origin-side pricing on regional Melamine markets.

June 2026 brought mixed price movements. China, Vietnam, India, Egypt, Australia, the Netherlands, and France experienced varying degrees of correction as logistics improved, product availability increased, and purchasing activity softened. In contrast, Brazil and Turkey continued to record monthly gains, supported by stronger procurement and stable downstream consumption.
