The outlook for the market in the next quarter witnesses prices will continue to rise, and that prices will remain high unless there is a significant change in the availability of feedstock or freight.

Pyridine Price Trend Analysis: Q2 2025

According to the PriceWatch, Pyridine prices from India (FOB) decreased by 5.77% to 2719 USD per MT in Q2 2025. The price trend reflected reduced demand from key downstream industries, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, which typically experience a slowdown mid-year. The decrease was further supported by softening feedstock prices, particularly for coal and petroleum derivatives, which are integral to Pyridine production.

Additionally, the CIF price trend in South Korea, importing from both China and Thailand, followed a similar decline, showing a decrease in Pyridine prices due to weaker demand and high inventory levels. The domestic market in India saw a corresponding dip, with less export activity during the second quarter, which is generally marked by slower industrial activity. In comparison to Q1 2025, this price decline indicated a cooling market, with seasonal factors and low industrial production rates contributing to the lower pricing trend. 

According to the PriceWatch, Pyridine prices from India (FOB) increased by 4.89% to 2885 USD per MT in Q1 2025. The price trend was largely influenced by a rebound in demand from the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors, which traditionally experience a surge at the beginning of the year. The feedstock market remained stable, and the increase in prices was supported by strong export demand.

South Korea, importing from China and Thailand, also experienced an increase in CIF prices, with both regions seeing an uptick due to stronger demand. The Q1 2025 price growth could also be attributed to the global economic recovery and a rise in production levels, which helped support the price increases.

In comparison to Q4 2024, the price rise signaled a healthy recovery after the prior quarter’s dip, with global and regional markets showing stronger confidence in Pyridine’s demand. 

Pyridine Price Trend Analysis: Q4 2024

According to the PriceWatch, Pyridine prices from India (FOB) rose by 2.36% to 2751 USD per MT in Q4 2024. The price trend showed a moderate increase compared to the previous quarter, driven by steady demand from downstream pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, which tend to increase production before the year-end. Feedstock prices for coal and petroleum remained stable, contributing to this gradual rise in prices.

In South Korea, the CIF price trend mirrored the upward movement, with imports from China and Thailand seeing a corresponding increase. The Q4 2024 price rise can be attributed to both seasonal demand increases and a more stable global supply chain, which helped facilitate smoother trade flows.

Compared to Q3 2024, the increase in prices was relatively modest, but it highlighted the recovery in the Pyridine market, driven by steady production rates and a seasonal uptick in industrial activities. 

In Q4 2024, both FOB India and Ex-West India saw moderate price increases. FOB India rose to USD 2751/MT, up 2.36%, while Ex-West India increased to USD 3346/MT, reflecting a 1.88% rise. The price increase was driven by a strong rebound in agrochemical demand, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia, where agricultural activities surged ahead of the new growing season. In Germany and the UK, the demand from the pharmaceutical sector picked up as stockpiling for winter-related health products gained momentum.

On the feedstock side, acetaldehyde and ammonia prices remained stable, with moderate upward pressure as natural gas prices in India slightly increased, raising production costs. Despite these factors, India’s Pyridine exports benefited from a higher demand for both agrochemical and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in key markets. 

According to the PriceWatch, Pyridine prices from India (FOB) increased by 2.09% to 2687 USD per MT in Q3 2024. The price trend showed a small but positive shift due to a recovery in demand from key downstream sectors, such as agrochemicals and the pharmaceutical industry. The feedstock market remained relatively stable, with minor fluctuations in coal and petroleum costs. South Korea’s CIF price also showed a slight increase, as imports from China and

Thailand remained steady due to moderate demand from the domestic market. The comparative price increase from Q2 2024 indicates a seasonal recovery in production and consumption, as industries started to ramp up after the slower second quarter. While the growth was modest, it was a clear indication of market stabilization, as both supply chains and demand improved compared to the preceding quarter. 

By Q3 2024, there was a slight recovery in FOB India, which rose to USD 2687/MT, marking a 2.09% increase, while Ex-West India saw a marginal increase to USD 3284/MT (up 1.62%). The recovery was primarily driven by pre-season restocking in China and Indonesia, where agrochemical producers started preparing for the upcoming planting season. The pharmaceutical sector in Germany and the UK also saw modest growth in demand, particularly for intermediate chemicals.

Additionally, a slight increase in acetaldehyde prices, combined with relatively stable feedstock availability, allowed for a marginal increase in production costs. However, the price recovery was restrained due to the overall market conditions remaining relatively subdued, with India continuing to face tough competition from lower-priced alternatives in other markets. 

According to the PriceWatch, Pyridine prices from India (FOB) decreased by 12.72% to 2632 USD per MT in Q2 2024. The price trend was primarily driven by reduced demand from the agrochemical and pharmaceutical sectors, which tend to experience a dip in activity during mid-year.

The feedstock market also saw some softening, which contributed to the overall price decline. In South Korea, the CIF price trend mirrored the price fall from India, with imports from China and Thailand showing a decline due to the weakened demand and oversupply concerns.

The Q2 2024 decrease in prices was reflective of typical seasonal fluctuations, where industrial production slows down in the middle of the year. Compared to Q1 2024, the decline in prices highlighted a cooling market, with seasonal and economic factors contributing to lower demand and production during the quarter. 

In Q2 2024, Pyridine prices further declined to USD 2632/MT (FOB India) and USD 3232/MT (Ex-West India), reflecting a 12.72% and 10.68% decrease, respectively. The continued decline can be attributed to sluggish demand from China due to tighter environmental regulations and reduced operations in the agrochemical sector. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical sector in Europe (UK, Germany) showed minimal growth due to lower restocking activities after the year-end holiday period.

The Indian export market faced stiff competition from China, which lowered its pricing to capture a larger share in the global market, impacting India’s export volume. On the supply side, acetaldehyde prices remained competitive, but the overall price decrease from the previous quarter continued to affect margins, making it difficult for Indian exporters to recover pricing. 

According to the PriceWatch, Pyridine prices from India (FOB) decreased significantly by 22.86% to 3016 USD per MT in Q1 2024. The sharp drop in prices was largely driven by a slump in demand from downstream pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, which traditionally see weaker activity after the holiday season.

Additionally, the feedstock market saw a decline in coal and petroleum prices, contributing to the overall price reduction. In South Korea, imports from both China and Thailand followed a similar price trend, reflecting the global downturn in demand and pricing pressures.

Compared to Q4 2023, the Q1 2024 drop was significant, highlighting the market’s adjustment after the peak season in the previous quarter. Despite the downturn, India’s export market remained steady, although the reduced prices indicated the challenges faced by both global and regional markets during this period. 

In Q1 2024, both FOB India and Ex-West India saw sharp declines. FOB India dropped to USD 3016/MT, marking a 22.86% decrease, while Ex-West India fell to USD 3618/MT, a 19.79% drop. The sharp decline was primarily due to a post-harvest seasonal slowdown, which led to reduced demand from the agrochemical sector in China, Malaysia, and Indonesia. These countries experienced lower consumption of herbicides and pesticides as the planting season ended.

Additionally, there was weaker demand from the pharmaceutical industry in Germany and the UK, as inventories had been sufficiently stocked in Q4 2023. The reduction in feedstock prices, including acetaldehyde and ammonia, compounded the price drop, leading to a decrease in production costs but still resulting in weaker demand from the key CIF countries.
