North America
In Q4 2024, the North American Epoxy Resin market remained stable with minor price fluctuations, underpinned by balanced supply-demand dynamics. Early in the quarter, ample inventories, steady feedstock costs, and soft demand from coatings and adhesives kept prices stable despite logistical hurdles and weak consumer sentiment.
Mid-Q4 maintained this trend as producers managed output strategically and optimized inventories to offset sluggish demand from the construction and coatings sectors. Prices remained largely unchanged due to consistent raw material costs and ongoing economic uncertainty.
Towards the end of the quarter, seasonal slowdowns, labor negotiations, and tariff-related uncertainties complicated procurement. However, proactive stock management and limited global trade disruptions helped preserve market balance amid moderate domestic demand and oversupply.
By quarter’s end, semi-solid Epoxy Resin (EEW 300-350) prices were assessed at USD 4042/MT DEL Texas, reflecting a cautious but steady market environment.

Europe
The European Epoxy Resin market experienced a bearish trend in Q4 2024. Early in the quarter, pricing remained steady, supported by stable raw material costs and moderate demand from coatings and automotive sectors. Despite trade issues and broader economic concerns, balanced inventories limited volatility.
Mid-Q4 sustained this equilibrium, aided by efficient inventory strategies and subdued activity in key downstream markets. Seasonal lulls and cautious sentiment offset logistical disruptions, keeping prices largely flat.
However, by late Q4, weak demand in paints, coatings, and construction sectors began to weigh more heavily. Inflation, supply chain challenges, and competitive import pricing intensified pressure on the market, particularly in Germany, where prices fell by 1.1% over the quarter.
Asia-Pacific (APAC)
Q4 2024 saw a bearish price trajectory for Epoxy Resin across APAC. Early in the quarter, prices were stable due to steady raw material costs, balanced supply-demand, and post-holiday restocking. However, limited construction activity and weak international demand capped any upward movement.
Mid-Q4 marked the beginning of a downtrend, with a 1.5% price decline driven by reduced production costs, tepid demand from coatings and construction sectors, and high inventory levels. Manufacturers continued operations despite oversupply and soft buyer sentiment.
By late Q4, bearish conditions deepened amid subdued demand, high production costs, and trade protectionist policies. Anti-dumping duties and tariffs forced aggressive pricing strategies, especially in China, where year-end destocking pushed prices down by 6.1%, settling at USD 2214/MT FOB Huangshan.
