Pentaerythritol (PENT) Price Trend Q3 2025
In Q3 2025, the global Pentaerythritol (PENT) market showed uneven performance across regions. Western markets such as Sweden, Germany, and Spain showed moderate pentaerythritol (PENT) price trend declines due to weak demand from paint, coatings, and industrial adhesive sectors amid soft industrial output and ample supply.
European regions were comparatively stable with slight downward pressure, as consistent production and stable feedstock costs failed to offset cautious procurement. Nevertheless, Asia-Pacific markets experienced notable weakness with prices falling significantly in China and Taiwan on account of oversupply, competitive pricing, and subdued export demand, despite reliable production.
In general, the market remained reasonably balanced underpinned by stable industrial activity, stable feedstock supply, and moderate freight conditions. Regional supply chain fundamentals and disparate downstream consumption trends continued to drive pricing during the quarter.
Taiwan
Pentaerythritol (PENT) Export Price from Taiwan, Technical Grade (98%) (Mono) FOB Kaohsiung.
In Q3 2025, Pentaerythritol (PENT) price trend from Taiwan declined moderately, reflecting weaker demand from downstream alkyd resin and surface coating sectors in key export markets. FOB Kaohsiung prices ranged between USD 1,400–1,600 per metric ton, reflecting a quarterly decrease of 3.71%. Production remained stable, with no major disruptions at manufacturing facilities.
However, competitive pricing from Chinese and Russian suppliers added pressure on regional buyers. Feedstock acetaldehyde and formaldehyde costs showed limited volatility. Market sentiment remained cautious, with limited restocking activity observed across Asia and Europe.
